Long movement forehand topspin

Il Ill Asked 9 years ago

Master Rosario,

Why some prof. players plays with longer movement for forehand topspin and other - shorter?

Which are advantages with longer movement?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Il,

With the longer movement you have the potential for greater power.  However, some players use the efficiency of movement with the smaller movement to buy some time in the rally.
