topspin forehand finally clicked after 13 months — and everything changed

I've been training Tennis for 13 months and the moment topspin forehand finally clicked was a turning point. Before that I was going through the motions. After, the whole game opened up.

My coach breaks things down well and has a good understanding of approaching the net, which made the difference. The community at the gym is genuine — no ego, everyone remembers being a beginner. how topspin changes the game once learned was something I never expected to get from a sport like this. One honest note: the racket and string selection rabbit hole. Factor that in from day one.
