Arm angle

Strokes

Pista Burkett Asked 6 years ago

hi there,

i've noticed that a lot of the top chinese players bring their arm quite far back and nearly straight and relaxed when back. then they "whip" the arm for big time top spin. Like Ma Long.

You two seem to have a almost 90 degree bent arm when in the back most position....is this better than the style of arm way back (and a lot more straight, and relaxed)?

Hi Pista,

You can have your arm straighter for a faster result. This does tend to lose some control of the stroke. So depending on what you are looking for you can alter the angle of your elbow.
