Hi,Rosario .

Only one another question "torture" me.

I watched your videо as younger in You Tube and I liked your versatile topspin techniques.

Is there any rotation with the shoulder ( its axis) before and into the contact of the ball?

Hi Il,

Yes, there is rotation of the body from the waist.  So if you are looking from above the body is turning backwards and forwards slightly.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

I asked for rotation in the  sholder - only.

Not about body-waist detalis.

Sorry Il, not sure what you mean by the rotation of the shoulder.  Just the one shoulder or both?

Yes. Its really uncomfortable to rotate your shoulders without turning your hip though o.O
