Three Common Causes of a Forehand in the Net
Before opening the racquet face, check whether contact dropped too low or your weight stayed behind you.
Start with this check
Late preparation, contacting a descending ball too low, and a shortened follow-through all reduce trajectory and net clearance.
Try these steps in order
- Use video to check the ball's height and its distance from your body at the moment of the error.
- Practice organizing the feet just after the bounce so you can make contact at a comfortable height.
- Send the ball through a large window above the net and allow the finish to continue naturally.
Bottom line
A net error is often decided in preparation and at contact, before the end of the swing.
