Hey! Ok so I think long term the wrist is important in the forehand but if you do add it too early it can make it slightly inconsistent sometimes, and especially if you use too much wrist.
It’s important to have solid basics in your forehand movement, and moving the body, legs and arm correctly. Before adding too much wrist it’s important you are using your elbow and forearm well too, which can help generate a lot of speed and spin even before the wrist is added.
Then when you are very solid and consistent with these elements I would think about adding the wrist which helps in generating spin, good quality contact on the ball and also speed.
Of course feel free to send us in a video here on coach corner and we’ll be happy to analyse your forehand and have a look at if adding in the wrist can help you or if there are other are areas to focus on first
Tom 🙂
