Hugoekeroth asked 3 years ago

Hello! Thank you for the answer on my last question. What tend to happen for me is that my shoulders tend to raise forward and up in my backhand. How to keep it still?

No problem Hugo, normally with the shoulders doing this it’s because of tension in the body. So really try to focus on being relaxed and having a loose grip on the bat as well which helps stay relaxed.

Also think about taking the ball close to your body when you hit the shot and make sure you are not reaching out in front which can cause the shoulders to come up as well.

Cheers, Tom
