Tennis Forehand - 4 Ways To Create Massive Power On Your Forehand - Part One. On the ATP tour, around 75% of winners are hit with the forehand. It doesn't matter what level you play tennis at, your forehand should be one of your main weapons. In order to build a consistent and powerful forehand in tennis, you need to use the major muscle groups. This includes the legs and the trunk muscles. This means using rotational power and ground force on your tennis forehand. When you study the best tennis players in the world, such as Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic, they all hit their forehands in different ways, they use different forehand grips, they have unique swings, yet they all use the same fundamentals to create massive power on their forehands. The key to more power on any stroke is increased racket head speed. Whatever helps you generate more racket head speed will give you more power. Some players can generate racket head speed by using their arms alone, however, that method is high risk and less rewarding. By relying on the smaller muscle groups in your forearm, you're increasing the risk of injury and the muscles will get tired much quicker. However, if you use the large muscle groups, you'll reduce the risk of injury along with increasing the duration of time you can create massive power. Tennis Forehand - 4 Ways To Create Massive Power On Your Forehand: Step One - Coil and Uncoil. The foundation of any powerful forehand in tennis is using rotational power from the trunk muscles. This means coiling the upper body, storing explosive energy in the core muscles, in particular, the oblique muscles, then releasing that stored energy through the contact point. Imagine a rubber band, when you pull it back and release it, the band stretches then explodes off your hand. When you coil the upper body on your forehand, you're stretching the core muscles, and then when you release them and uncoil, you'll create a huge amount of power which will help you create more racket head speed. Step Two - Load and Unload. The leg muscles are the strongest muscle group in the entire body, so it only makes sense to use them in order to generate more power for a longer duration. When coiling the upper body, you also want to sink down using your legs, almost as if you were going to sit on a chair. As you bend the knees, you're storing explosive energy in the legs, and then when you drive up and into the ball, you'll create a lot of power using that ground force. It doesn't matter which stance you use, it could be the open stance forehand, the semi-open stance forehand, or the neutral stance forehand. With all three, try to load up on the back leg and drive into the ball for maximum effect.
