Tennis Lesson: Forehand Step 4 - Follow Through

http://www.fuzzyyellowballs.com/improve-your-forehand-in-45-minutes/

The fourth step of our video series on how to hit a forehand is the follow through. Extend out in the direction you are hitting the tennis ball and then turn your forearm and wrist over like you are trying to check the time on a watch. Bring the tennis racket across your body in a smooth and relaxed motion to complete your follow through.

In this video we use several pictures of Andy Roddick's forehand to demonstrate how to follow through.

hey my forehands hit the net or go very high a lot. how do i make them more consistent?

[FYB2007]

Topspin! It sounds like you are hitting too flat.  Search for "creating topspin on your forehand." That video might help you. Make sure to watch it in high definition!

[annaarora]

in the ww fh video you said that you think of ur fh as if u are trying to hit the ball with the frame...

[FYB2007]

Ya that's true. This is a "classic" forehand - you swing through the ball much more than you do on a WW.

When I hit the ball (forehand) sometimes it goes high like a lob would. Please help

[jojojames1995]

@BloopV my coach back in the day also travels on the atp tour and a rule he taught us was....of coarse top spin is the way to hit the ball with more pace with out worrying that it will go in the net and out the baseline, but the thing is you have to keep the ball high. when the players practice on tour they only sometimes have one ball on court. they keep the ball high with allot of top spin. about 2 meters above the net is sufficient

[mukcl]

Im right handed, is it important to step through with the back leg (right)? My coach says i have to hit the ball and follow with like my hip and right leg, this feels really un-natural and uncomfortable. Do you have a video of how the feet should work just before, while, and after hitting the ball? thank would be really helpful. thanks

@xuzm

You're not following through. Remember to continue to swing the racquet after contact, turn over your wrist, and end with the racquet over your other shoulder and elbow facing the opposite court. Easier said than done!
