Strokes and Technique
Dear Alois and Jeff,
I see that you usually emphasize on the end point of the strokes very often. For example the top-spin stroke is supposed to end somewhere close to the forehead (or to eyebrow) or a little past that.
However if you look at world-class champions, it is very obvious that none of them follow this rule (at lower level, though, I see exactly the same as what you advice).
The world champions at a top-spin forehand, usually follow through all the way to the other side of body (i.e. to left). That way, it looks like they are drawing a circle in the air with their paddle.
What is the mystery behind it?
Thanks,
Hamid
Hi Hamid,
If you watch the top Chinese players their forehand finishes on the right hand side of their body as we show you. Some of the European players do finish on the opposite side of their body but the Chinese are the best with best technique. Try to follow this.
