One time about five years ago my forehand went off the boil and my ranking slipped. I practiced and practiced but still it wasn't going for me - then the coach I was working with at the time (some of you might remember him if you're British - Chris Wilkinson) told me to concentrate on hitting out in front. I cannot emphasize this point enough; it's so simple but yet so often over-looked. I have taken many individual tennis lessons with players looking to improve a certain shot, the trouble is these lessons are often viewed by the player as their only practice session. You never know when they might be dealing with a nagging injury, or having an off day or whatever else he might be dealing with. Remember that it's not all on you. Of course there may be another reason; that they don't wish to feel embarrassed in front of their practice partner if they make mistakes practicing their weaker shot. You're not playing your opponent's reputation, family, or anything like that. This is a great way to stay focused so that you can take advantage of your opponent's weaknesses. By being aware of this mistake and get motivated to change. Players who don't do this are often prone to 'wristy' errors, the above method stops these; increasing both power and consistency. This will allow you to take advantage of situations where you can get the upper hand.
