It would be very interesting to see what that swing would do against a ball with a ton of topspin on it, though.
Certainly not steeply downward, but far from flat. I believe both go from at least above the level of his waist band down to the bottom of his shorts. I've tried to mark with my cursor arrow where the wood of the racket shaft meets the racket head from the start of the forward swing to where it is at contact.
And, in real time, I think it makes it "look" like the swing is flatter than it actually is. The racket face tilt changes so much that it's difficult to tell what's happening with the swing path. Wish it were in slow motion, or at least could be "freeze framed". That'll be your contact point.Ĭlick to expand.Cool GIF at that URL. That point for most people will be a few inches to a foot closer to the net than your front foot. Like you're about to knight somebody using a continental grip. Turn sideways to the net (imaginary net in your living room is fine) and just hold the racquet out in front of you to see where the natural point is that the racquet face is nearly vertical. Lock that wrist, straighten the arm, and get a continental grip. The forearm should play very little role, here. Extend the non-hitting arm backward for balance. Swing from the shoulder, keep the wrist firm, let the elbow straighten, contact a few inches in front of that foot with straight arm and firm wrist. Then, back to the "knighting position" via the forward swing. The elbow will bend a little, but the wrist remains firm. Hold the throat with your off hand, and take the racquet back up, and over your rear shoulder, keeping the racquet wrist firm, allowing your shoulders to rotate as you go. That'll be your contact point.įrom there, go in reverse. Click to expand.The forearm should play very little role, here.
