"He is a forehand and a haircut."  That is how tennis great Ivan Lendl described 19-year-old Andre Agassi in 1988.

Often times a player's favorite shot is the forehand ground stroke. Take a page from the pros book to make your forehand work for you. Integrate how the pros use their forehands into your own game.

Rafael Nadal always makes his opponent work. Hit the ball high. One of the toughest shots for anyone to return is a ball that they have to hit above their shoulder. Aim 4 to 5 feet above the top of the net and hit with as much topspin as possible. Make sure you are swinging from low to high.

Concentrate on swinging from the bottom of the ball to top of the ball. Finish your follow through up over your left shoulder for righties and right shoulder for lefties. Much like a golf swing, make sure the tip of the racket finishes hitting you in the back on your follow through.

Andy Roddick loves his forehand. Who needs a backhand? If your forehand is your best shot, put yourself in position to hit as many forehands as possible during a point.

Run around your backhand and use three quarters of the court to hit forehands. Control the court with your forehand to dictate play.

Andre Agassi's timing is everything. Catch your opponent off guard and take the ball on the rise. Make sure you make contact with the ball before it reaches the peak of the bounce.

A small backswing with quick preparation is essential to hit the ball cleanly. Taking the ball a split second earlier, gives your opponent less time to get to the next ball and puts you on offense.

So for all you weekend warriors, take the ball early, fire forehands at your opponent, and remember using spin will help you win!!
