Hi Sami,

To make a faster stroke you can extend your wrist as well.  Let it relax and follow through with your stroke.  You don't need to force the wrist through.

Again for a faster ball you can really extend your arm through at the end.  We have a lesson as part of our Premium lessons on the Advanced Forehand Topspin which will show the workings of the advanced stroke.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.

Hi Sami.

Yes you can.  It is more difficult to go forward.  You need a lot of speed with your arm to do this.  If you don't get good speed the ball will go into the net.
