Hey Alex,
That’s interesting you have the same approach in bowling, it makes sense actually! The pause is definitely key and helps with the rhythm and makes the backswing and forward actions link together.
The main thing I noticed from the video you sent that I think will help you is getting your arm to hinge more from the elbow on both backhand and forehand. To do this you will need to focus more on the lower part of your arm and wrist being a little more relaxed and with a slightly looser grip. I think the overall movement and technique is good, just needs to be a little more loose and fluid so you can keep improving the weight transfer. If you can get this more relaxed and loose feeling I think the pause and energy release will be even better because you’ll be able to accelerate through the ball with a faster action.
Lastly I think on the forehand side you can close the bat angle slightly and try to contact slightly more across the top of the ball to generate more spin. This will mean a bit more control and help you stay relaxed as I said. Let us know if you have any other questions on this 🙂
