Tennis: Pivot Leg on Short Balls

When moving sideways. it is preferable to hit the open stance FH pivoting on the right leg with left leg swinging across & behind ...for short balls that require running forward, pivot on the left leg as shown

To create racket head speed, grip tightly with last 2 fingers and loosely with the index and middle fingers ...do not push with palm of right hand ...rather whip the handle thru impact using the last two fingers as near "stationary" hinge points ...speed will increase 6 fold
