Elbow or shoulder
Strokes
Antonius Willson Asked 11 years ago
Hi,
I'm kinda confused about doing a topspin/loop stroke. Should my elbow be fixed and do the stroke with my shoulder or should i do the stroke with my elbow?
I'm a chinese penholder.

Hi Antonius,
Utilise your full arm, especially your forearm but you don’t need to utilise your elbow too much. You will also need to use your shoulder. It is a summation of all of the parts of the arm.
Take a look at the lesson on the stroke again and see if you can get a feel for it.
We will also answer this on the Ask the Coach Show #52 on Monday 22nd December.
