Kirsten ready position is balanced and ready to hit a forehand. She keeps her grip in the forehand position
|
Kirsten begins her unit turn before the ball bounces, using her left hand to help her rotate her upper body. | In this position Kirsten is turned before the ball bounces, early preparation is the key to good stroke production. |

She showing very good shoulder rotation as she prepares for the forward swing.
|
Racket head slight closed and her backswing does not go to far behind her body. | Her hips and shoulders start to rotate as her racket swings forward and upward. Notice that her racket is well below the ball before contact. |
 |
 |
 |
Kirsten contact point is well out in front.
|
I like her extension as she swings her racket out toward her target, this gives her a longer hitting zone. |
Her hitting arm swings up to her chin before she relaxes her arm over her left shoulder in the next photo |
