Photo Lesson: The Basic Eastern Forehand

Follow-Through

Here, the back foot has slid forward, the front leg has pushed upward, and the racquet has finished over the left shoulder. This is roughly an average follow-through. Your hand should always end up somewhere near the height of your head, but your racquet might end up more out in front or more wrapped around your back, depending on how hard you swing, how much rotational energy you use, and how flexible you are.
