Why Players Squat
Strokes
Romeo Chua Asked 10 years ago
When players make awkward strokes, they tend to squat. Such as, making a sudden forehand in a backhand rally. Why is that?

Hi Romeo,
I am not sure why this happens.
Maybe others have some ideas.

I think because of the elbow dead zone. By squatting the dead zone moves and you can still perform (a somewhat messed up) variation of your stroke and keep the pace up.

I'm thinking it is because they want to take the ball a little later.
