My coach told me to go home and practise forehand but as much as I tried, I still dont get the hang of it but this video really helped and it is simple and easy to understand thank you:)

I think this video has the proper amount of detail for beginners. For those saying it's too detailed, there's no better time to be extra careful about your technique than when you're just starting out in the game. I'd say to all the beginners out there, the left foot usually steps forward when playing a powerful put away shot and not for a controlled, repetitive forehand drive.

@@JudahMaccabee_ since I don't see an answer here I wanted to see if I could help. You answer that by flipping the underspin with a heavy loop. Open up your bat angle, and the trajectory of your stroke should be be more upwards and less forward. Good luck!

Very clearly explained and I might add that players of any level would benefit by starting their wam up with this level of basics and this way they will avoid having things go wrong with their (even advanced) shots. Thank you for coming out of retirement and giving us this gem.

Its also helpful to know that you're hitting the top half of the ball when countering while both players are using spinny rubber. You hit across the top of the ball when your opponent makes a lot of topspin. Or you hit just the top back of the ball when your opponent makes less topspin. Sometimes your opponent will hit very slow or they will just block. Then the ball has a lot less speed and topspin. Provided that your drive before that wasn't too good. In which case a simple block can be deadly!
