Strokes
Hi Coach,
I'm struggling with proper weight transfer from my right to left side during my forehand topspin. It feels like my body has a hard time moving forward fluidly, as if my joints are firing in the wrong sequence. Do you have any drills or tips that could help me improve the timing and coordination of my weight shift?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Sahin,
First I would suggest you take a look at our Tutorial on Improve your Strokes by transferring your weight.
You can do some of this off the table and without a ball to get the feel of the transfer that we talk about in the video. Once you get onto the table start slowly with your strokes and then as you feel more comfortable you can add speed and power.
