Power for the Inside-Out Forehand

The inside-out forehand is one of the most widely used and most effective shots on both the men's and women's pro tours. But how do elite players generate so much power on this shot? The truth is, generating the kind of power the pros produce involves far more than just swinging from the heels. Many technical elements come together to make the forehand a major weapon for elite players. Here, using the SportsCAD Analysis package and Tomas Berdych's as his model, Michael McDowell breaks down this tremendous shot.

There's More Than One Way to Win a Doubles Match

One of the things that make doubles so fascinating is the many formations and strategies that you can use to win matches. In fact, during the course of a single point, you could easily move back and forth between different formations–several times. Plus, as you continue to improve you’ll frequently find yourselves with all four players up at the net battling it out. Learning to play confidently from of these different formations will go a long way towards helping you and your partner win matches at the higher levels. Greg Moran

ProStrokes 2.0 – Tomas Berdych's Serve

This young man from the Czech Republic, with the massive forehand, has been on tour since 2002. He turned pro at the tender age of 16, has amassed over $5 million dollars in prize money, and reached a career high ranking of 9th in 2007. Currently ranked 23rd, Tomas is a dangerous "floater" in any draw, capable of big wins and unexpected upsets. In 2009 he held wins over Safin, Cilic, Davydenko, Blake, and Wawrinka. Elegant ground game, two fisted backhand, Tomas is still young enough to become a solid competitor within the top 10. New this issue, the Berdych serve.

Mastering the Overhead

Perhaps no other shot in tennis possesses the undeniable authority that a fully hit overhead can exact upon an opponent. It is the definitive put-away shot in tennis. At the pro level, this shot is rarely missed. Yet, for millions of club players, the odds of hitting the overhead so that it lands in the court–let alone with any semblance of intimidating power–are only slightly less than hitting the lottery. This shot is mishit, misdirected, or just plain missed more than any other. Dave Smith offers a guide to hitting a better overhead.

Stop the Chop

Amid the huge forehands seen on the pro tour these days, the slice shot is used more and more, either as a defensive shot, a change of pace, or a chip-and-charge. But at the club level, this shot often floats and sits up for an opponent to take advantage of. Doug King explains how to develop a little better touch and a little better hold on the ball so you too can execute a more effective, penetrating forehand slice just like the pros.
