How much to bend
Strokes
Swaraj Chavan Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois , How much should I bend on knees while playing, do i need to keep my back straight all the time?

Hi Swaraj,
You should bend your knees to a level where you can move fast and efficiently. This means bending them to around 120 degrees. You should keep your back relatively straight but you can hunch forward a little to get better balance, a bit like a downhill skier.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

i think that it's better to keep my back to hunch forward a little as it give me more concentration on watching ball, make me easy to move and easy to make strokes. but out of playing you must keep your back straight for healthy...
