<p><!-- /divi:paragraph --> <!-- divi:paragraph -->In practice, I have emphasized the unit turn, loading the racket by separating it from the non-grip hand, dropping the racket head, rotating the torso to contact, and following through in a circular motion as the racket extends. So far, we have not discussed extending to the target for consistency, more on that later.</p>
<p><!-- /divi:paragraph --> <!-- divi:paragraph --><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.feeltennis.net/" target="_blank">FEELTENNIS.net</a> is an excellent website that includes a blog post on the modern tennis forehand. I have known <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.feeltennis.net/about-me/" target="_blank">Tomaz </a>for many years, and I can&#8217;t explain it any better than he does. I encourage our players to read and study his detailed post, then slowly develop and practice each part of the forehand.</p>

Head makes several good rackets that sell for less than $100. Some of these models used to be their $200 rackets. You can generally get a reasonably good frame for $80-$100 in an older model. The less expensive aluminum rackets at local retail box stores are sufficient for learning to contact the ball, but you will want to upgrade your racket and strings as you improve. A high quality modern tennis racket improves performance and physical comfort. </span></html-blob></div>
