Phase 2 of 7 — Forehand (RHFH)
Run Up
Goal: Build gentle forward momentum with short, smooth steps. The run-up is about rhythm and balance, not speed — a controlled approach leads to a cleaner release.
Beginner Tip
Slow is smooth, smooth is far. Most beginners rush the run-up — try throwing from a standstill first.
Key Actions
- Take 1-3 short shuffle steps toward your target, keeping your center of gravity low.
- Match your step tempo to what feels natural — rushing leads to balance problems.
- Keep your upper body quiet and your throwing arm relaxed at your side.
Focus Points
- Your head should stay at the same height throughout — no bouncing up and down.
- Your steps should feel smooth and repeatable, like a short walk, not a sprint.
- Keep your weight centered over your feet, not leaning forward or back.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Running too fast or taking long strides — this throws off your timing.
- Swinging your throwing arm back early before your feet are set.
- Turning your head away from the target during the approach.
Head & Gaze
Keep your eyes on your target line. Your head stays level and moves forward with your body.
