In this slow motion video we can see a very promising young player – 10 year-old Zak Morland from the UK – demonstrating his forehand.

As can be appreciated from the video, Zak already has proficient technique but there are a few adjustments we will make – the hip rotation is a little early and the grip and elbow position may need some adjustment, but it should be noted that extreme grips are common with young players and are related to a lack of strength and the higher ball contact.
