Tidus gave a good account there... eastern grip on the forehand is a great place to move forward... and again, as Tidus says, find a good coach and book a lesson... if the coach is any good they wont mind you turning up once a fortnight, once a month, or even once a year... just to check on what you got going wrong n right... also, take a set of issues along to a coach... dont wait 20 minutes of an hour lesson allowing the coach to have a look at you, cos he/she will need a look to find where to start... just rock up and say 'ok... forehand is sh!te... i do this ball does this... help me...' dont ry to be jack of all trades... be excellent at one facet of the game at a time...
as a coach, i actually love it when people come with issues they know themselves...
anyways... here...
go to youtube's search engine...
type in:
slow motion backhand
slow motion forehand
(note: ignore the nadal examples here)
if you are a beginner, maybe learn the slice backhand to type in
slice backhand slow motion
study the---> find a mirror---> check your form... repeat Every ****ing day... even if you are like me, ugly and have a ton of issues with the mirror, learn to love the way to look... listen to me sunshine - you dont need to be on a tennis court everyday to get better...
my and my bro got very good... had no coach... but we resourced 100's of still photo's...
you tube is a ten fold better resource...
good luck champion...
here... to get you started:
study which strings are mostly doing the work to the ball here...? look hard... copy...
