Backhand topspin forearm extension
Strokes
Il Ill Asked 9 years ago
Master Rosario,
I watched your beautiful videos but I dont understand ...
For backhand topspin - should I use forearm(slightly extend from the elbow from triceps brahii) in the ball contact ?
Or the angle in the elbow should not to change?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Il,
The more time you have the more forearm you can use. I like the forearm to really extend out when you have time with your backhand topspin.
