The first common problem for beginners is when they take too big a backswing, like Calindy will now demonstrate. A large backswing may work if the player has a ball tossed to them or hit to them at just the right speed, but as they improve too larger backswing will lead to major problems and inconsistencies.
Now take a look at several quick tips to fix this common problem. The first correction is to create a clock face for players to visually see the length of their swing. The second option is to connect the wrist together. Here we are using a velcro forehand fixer, but many other methods are possible.
The idea is that when the non-racket hand helps prepare the racket many good things happen. The upper body coils, the back swing is more accurately prepared and the grip is better established. A third option to correct big backswings is extremely simple, but too often overlooked. Hitting a two-handed forehand also does all the good things listed above when we use the forehand fixer.
Just remember to not squeeze too hard with the non-dominant hand. In fact, when transitioning back from two hands to one, hold the racket with only two fingers of the non-dominant hand as Calindy is now demonstrating.
