Elbow Position in Forehand Topspin
Strokes
thomas mcnamara Asked 6 years ago
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.
