In this video Dan will teach you how to develop a heavy forehand spin up, which he likes to call the dribble. This is because of the way the ball travels much more slowly over the net but with a huge amount of spin. Dan is a master of this shot and uses it to great effect in match play forcing opponents into mistakes or a weak return which can be attacked. Dan teaches and demonstrates the key elements that are needed to learn a heavy and effective forehand spin-up, from body position through to contact on the ball, timing point and drills to help you improve the shot. This shot is different to a normal forehand open up in the sense that you aren’t looking for speed, just maximum spin which can often be more effective and force more mistakes.
