The Fault Tolerant Forehand: Succeed Under Imperfect Conditions

”Most forehand inconsistency is not proximally caused by small mistakes, but rather by a swing which lacks the fault tolerance to handle them.”

The Fault Tolerant Forehand explains the stroke from the ground up, starting from the premise that a forehand is only useful if it can succeed even when struck slightly imperfectly . On the tour, successful, imperfect strikes occur all the time. Players routinely slightly mistime or slightly mishit their forehands, and yet they hardly ever miss them outright.

That property – success under imperfect conditions – is known as fault tolerance.

A fault tolerant stroke is able to tolerate a fault, like a small mistake in preparation, timing, or execution, and still succeed . If, as you set up for the ball on the forehand, your mind feels nervous and shaky, like the smallest mistake will send the ball flying into the back fence or spiraling down into the bottom of the net, that is because you are performing the forehand mechanically wrong.

Luckily, this problem is completely fixable. Fault tolerance on the forehand is a fully attainable goal for all ALL players.
