Forehand counter and wrist
Strokes
Il Ill Asked 10 years ago
Hi ,Rosario.
I watched your videos but I dont understand two things:
1.Is there light moving of the wrist down to up in the ball-contact ?
2.Is there light close of the racket at the ball -contact?
Or whole moving is only of the elbow (forearm), arm and body ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Il,
There is a small relaxed movement with the wrist. You don’t need to force the wrist through but let it relax and move through with the motion of the stroke.

There is very light top-spin with the wrist??
The wrist will help with the topspin.
