CHAPTER II. THE DRIVE

The forehand drive is the opening of every offensive in tennis,
and, as such, should be most carefully studied. There are certain
rules of footwork that apply to all shots. To reach a ball that
is a short distance away, advance the foot that is away from the
shot and thus swing into position to hit. If a ball is too close
to the body, retreat the foot closest to the shot and drop the
weight back on it, thus, again, being in position for the stroke.
When hurried, and it is not possible to change the foot position,
throw the weight on the foot closest to the ball.

The receiver should always await the service facing the net, but
once the serve is started on the way to court, the receiver
should at once attain the position to receive it with the body at
right angles to the net.

The forehand drive is made up of one continuous swing of the
racquet that, for the purpose of analysis, may be divided into
three parts:

1. The portion of the swing behind the body, which determines the
speed of the stroke.
