Hi Mohamed,

I like the elbow join to do some work as well.  Some players, like Jeff use more of the shoulder to generate the speed but if you can also use your elbow you will have greater potential to generate more speed and then more spin.

Thanks for your kind word also.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
