Hi all,
I recently joined a club and started seeing a coach about a month ago. Everyone at the club is pretty experienced and definitely at a much higher level than me.
Every time I do forehand to forehand drills with them they point out that the form for my forehand drive form is off. They say that I rotate my wrist and lift the ball too much when doing the stroke. Instead of my racket going up in a straight line, it tends to curve up. But when I try to keep my swing in a straight line, the ball tends to go right into the net. I've talked to my coach about it but he doesn't seem very concerned and says that fh-fh drills don't really impact game performance.
Is there any way to fix this?
Here's a video of a fh-fh drill with my technique (I'm probably doing a lot of things wrong so if you spot anything, please let me know!):

Thank you!
