Instructor emphasizes footwork, grip and full-body rotation for forehand at baseline
An instructor explained basic forehand technique at the baseline, saying players should use a shake‑hands grip and put their "whole body" into the shot. "So one of the main shots in tennis is the forehand at the baseline," the instructor said. "You wanna shake hands with the racket like this."

The instructor said footwork is the most important element and urged players to move to the side when they have time to set up the stroke. "The most important thing, I think, is your footwork... when the ball is coming over, is get all the way to the side, and putting your whole body into it," the instructor said.

As a practical cue, the instructor demonstrated a setup and repeated the instruction to step laterally into the ball: "So, Tat's gonna hit a shot over here. Get into it like that. So put your whole body and make sure you move your feet to the side." The session did not specify drills, practice duration or participant skill levels.
