morning coach, 

for more whip, spin & speed from FH loops - should i mainly concentrate on weight transfer/torque/putting my hip into the shot or would some band exercises (or 1 lb weight) help increasing my arm swing speed?  thanks, 

Andy

Hi Andy,

I wold focus on the speed of your arm in particular then the wrist and hand, this is where you are really going to get the advantage with generating speed and spin.

The other parts of your body also help towards the overall coordination and generation of speed and spin as we show you in the tutorial on the Advanced Forehand Topspin

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
