Master Rosario,

I watched your beautiful videos but I dont understand ...

For backhand topspin - should I use forearm(slightly extend from the elbow from triceps brahii) in the ball contact ?

Or the angle in the elbow should not to change?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Il,

The more time you have the more forearm you can use.  I like the forearm to really extend out when you have time with your backhand topspin.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
