Putting weight into your stroke
Strokes
chris Lee Asked 10 years ago
Is it possible to put your weight into a backhand to add more power to it? Or is it better to focus on the wrist to provide all the power?
Additionally, what about the forehand? Is it he same situation there as well? I'm trying hard to work on power lately.

Hi Chris,
A lot of power comes from rotation both with forehand and backhand.
I like this link we showed recently on our Ask the Coach Show to the Karate Kid. Karate Kid II Drum Scene. We also talk about it during Show #169.

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.
