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.
