Hi Coach. My elbow is quite high and out in front at the end of the forehand topspin, though it feels natural. It's above the shoulder and my finishing position with the bat is just above the eyes. Is the elbow position ok? Thanks.

Hi Thomas,

In most cases you don't need the elbow to go too far above the shoulder or forward of your shoulder either.

As a Premium member you can send me a video to take a look at and I will be able to see this better.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
