Coach CornerTechniquesSpace under arm
Bobv asked 6 years ago

Hi Guys, 
Still working on feeling and controlling, and am trying to see on Dans swing how much space he has under his arm when doing his forehand. Hard to tell from the angle. I definitely dont want my arm next to my side, correct? Thank you!

Hi Bobv,

Yes that’s correct you definitely don’t want your arm right next to your side. We often coach players to try to imago you have an orange or a tennis ball amount of space between the arm and body as that’s quite good to visualise! With that amount of space you can maintain good control and feeling but still have the capability to hit through shots and generate power.
