Answer for importance-of-a-still-head-on-backhand-topspin

Hey Slicepong,

Really good point you raise there, it definitely is good to be as stable as possible with your body and head whilst playing yhe backhand open up but it’s easy to become tense when focusing on this. So there is a balance, you need enough stability to be controlled but as you said when you let your head go its a more explosive shot so you also need to be relxed to achieve this feeling.

I would say concentrate on having good technique and a relaxed arm, as long as there isn’t loads if excessive head movement and your maintaining good balance and control it shouldn’t be a problem.

Keep up the great work.
