Slicepong asked 5 years ago

Hi Dan and Tom. I’m struggling to put everything together on the forehand topspin. I’m sometimes guilty of trying to do much, then revert to pushing. Would you say a good guide is to to turn no more than 45 degress and try to incorporated legs and hips, but don’t turn more until I become very consistent? It seems like 45 is a good compromise to groove drives and topspins. Thanks.

Hi Slicepong,

I’d actually say your spot on right now with a 45 degree turn. Keeping good legs and hip movement but not overdoing it will really help the control and consistency. I think your on the right track here,of course feel free to send us in a video and we can give you pointers on how things look with your stroke.
