Hi Tomas,

They are both right.  If you want more power then straightening your arm will allow that more easily because you can use the forearm faster through the stroke.  For a more controlled stroke you can have your arm bent.

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.
