Hey Alois.

While doing the forehand loop, when is the best time to decide and change the racket angle for the ball that is returned to you.I tend to do it while going through my swing by turning my arm and slightly releasing my wrist for power and guidance and it also allows me more time.  Am I doing it right or should I change the racket angle at the beginning of the stroke only?

Hi Abhibram,

I think it is best to maintain the angle throughout the stroke.  If you are changing the angle during the stroke there is more likelihood of an error.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
