Paddle face through impact
Strokes
Lynn Jensen Asked 2 years ago
I see a lot of players roll the paddle over when they hit topspins. It seems to me that the paddle needs to stay in one plane through the impact zone. Anything else will lead to much inconsistency. I think the same is true for underspins -- with the exception of the serve where a "cupped" stroke may be necessary to disguise topspin v. underspin.
Am I on the right track?

Hi Lynn,
I think you are perfectly on track. Think about a linear stroke to make it easier for yourself.
The roll of the stroke can happen when you are moving to the next position for the next ball. On impact though really focus on keeping the stroke linear.
