Slow spinny topspin finish position

Strokes

Hi Alois,

I've noticed that when I play a fast topsin against a push, I finish near my head or lower. However, when I play a slow spinny topspin (that I play a lot) I finish halfway, at my shoulder level. With this shortened stroke I can hit balls consistently. Should I try to fix this and finish near my head as with the fast topspin?

Hi Ilia,

Allow your arm to relax a little more and follow through.  This will be less stressful on your arm as well.
