Titulek 1 Handling high balls is a tough shot for a lot of players but the mechanics of how to hit a high ball are not that much different than how you'd hit a normal forehand.
Essentially, what happens is once you get set instead of dropping the racket down you leave the racket and the arm higher up, you set in your hitting arm position and then you swing forward to contact point at a higher level, higher plane than a normal forehand where you drop it down and then swing forward We've got Oliver in split screen the forehand further away from me is a high ball, the one closer to me is a normal forehand and from the completion of his preparation with the high ball, he keeps his racket in the arm up he sets into his hitting arm position and then swings forward at a much higher level than he does for his normal forehand where the racket has dropped down, set in the hitting arm position and then swung forward.
We'll put a line between the swing paths of his two respective forehands and again, that'll show you that he keeps the racket and his arm much higher on the high ball than he does for the low ball.
The final point I wanna highlight is that at his contact point for the high ball and the low ball his arm position is the same. It looks a little bit different but he's got the same hitting arm position in this case the bend in the elbow and the wrist laid back in both those shots What's done is he set his hitting arm position and swung forward and for the low ball if you just raise at the shoulder up a little bit higher then he's got the arm position that he's got for the high ball here so again, it's the same arm position, he just has not dropped the racket down as far on the high ball as he has on the low ball.
