Leg work when playing forehands
Strokes

How do you move your legs when doing the forehand topspin, counter hit and loop

Hi Joel,
When you are actually playing your strokes you can keep your feet quite stable. Then you use your arm and waist and legs to make the power. You can transfer your weight from your back leg to the front slightly.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.

Great! Really helpful. I liked the way you put in a variety of camera angles so we could clearly see what were you were doing, especially the footwork. Thanks.
Glad you liked it Andrew.

When we exercise two players and we just practice forehand counterhit or topspin diagonal. Do we still get that position or engage a more vertical one?
