Forehand Topspin: Body position
Strokes
vito memoli Asked 13 years ago
Hi Coach,
I'm quite desperate!! I was told by a guy who's very good that when I perform forehand topspin against block instead of leaning forward my back goes backward ...... I'm quite aware of this but I can't find the way out. Please help me !

Hi Vito,
Firstly don't stress about it so much. It will only lead to you tightening up and making technique harder.
Think about getting into a good Basic Stance first. This will get you into a good start position for your stroke. Then during the stroke think about keeping your head down. This will help you to keep your balance forward. Keep everything still during your shot except your arm and rotation of the trunk of your body. As soon as you lift up your weight will go backwards.
