Shoulder turn
Strokes
Jeremiah Sbarra Asked 14 years ago
How critical is it to have a good full shoulder turn on the forehand counter hit ? As a close to the table and older player I find the speed of the returns preclude a full turn. Pseudo club member coaches are always shouting out " turn more ". As you suggest I try to work on the start and finish of the stroke and can get a decent amount of spin but should I be stepping back a few feet to make a more complete stroke?
Thanks for your advise.

Hi Jeremiah,
When you are close to the table and don't have time it is OK to not turn too much. When you have more time then you should use your shoulders more for more power.
It is always a matter of time. If you are further away from the table then you will have more time to make the full stroke.
