Learn the difference between the Modern Tennis Forehand and the Conventional Forehand.

The best players in the world all play the forehand the modern way. Natural movements, open stance, windshield-wiper forehands, topspin, follow-through across the body, and most importantly, tracking the ball quite long before taking the racquet back are the trademarks of success.

There are many widespread misconceptions that can adversely affect your performance, at any level. Find out why the conventional tennis coaching system can impair your game.

Whether you have never played, or you are a seasoned pro, these fundamentals must be in your game or you are doomed to frustration! Learn the right way!

It is more natural, even for amateurs, even for beginners, to play exactly like the top pros, with the same stroking style. With Oscar Wegner's book and videos you'll learn exactly what the pros do, why they do it, and how to apply it to your game. The results have been astounding at every level. Entire countries, like Spain and Russia, and continents, like all of South America, have been influenced by Oscar, some by his personal coaching, others by his books, videos, and through Oscar's ESPN International work from 1994 through 2000.

These pro techniques are not only the most effective but also the easiest and fastest way to learn.

SAMPLE OF OSCAR WEGNER'S TEACHINGS

Racquet back right away? Not quite.

The opposite, keeping the hand and racquet in front of your body as long as possible, as if going to catch the ball, and then taking a swing, will bring about a better awareness of where the ball is going to be before you racquet goes back and forth for the swing.

Tracking the ball this way, even with a short backswing, like Agassi did and Federer does, will increase not only the accuracy of your stroke, but also, eventually, as you become more and more confident and hit up and across your body rather than forward, the consistent power of your shots (a principle of physics and Martial Arts explained in Oscar's book and DVDs).

The opposite would be to take the racquet back right away, before knowing for sure where you are going to meet the ball. Then you have to adjust your stroke during the forward part of your swing to where the contact will be, therefore disturbing a natural windshield-wiper motion. This would be the old, conventional idea of preparing early, and most likely, hitting straight through the ball and inhibiting a smooth, but powerful aceleration.

Practice this new way of waiting until you are comfortable with it. In the beginning you may think you don't have enough time to do this, or not enough power. But as you do it over and over, you'll be amazed at the results.
