Locking part of the hand for backhand topspin

singaraju avancha Asked 10 years ago

While playing backhand topspin against both chop and topspin which part of my hand should be locked? Is it the elbow or shoulder? I am getting lot of pain in my shoulder while playing the backhand topspin against chop continuously.

Hi Singaraju,

You should keep your arm and hand relaxed during the stroke.  You don’t need to force the wrist or hand through but just keep it relaxed and let it come through with the stroke.
