Hi Alois and Jeff!

I would just like to ask how do you transter and get power from your legs? I tried all the things I read about but I think none can give me a detailed explanation. I saw transfering weight on a DVD I bought it I think it was just stepping with the foot you're gonna transter it too. Care to shed some light on this?

Hi Carlo,

There is a little transfer from your back leg to your front leg.  For a right hander doing a forehand that means from the right to the left.  For a backhand it is from your left to right.

At the point of impact with the ball, your weight should be in the middle.
