You didn't answer at my question about to have a high speed of the arm, I think the most important is to be relax right or wrong?

Hi Bernard,

If you want to move your arm fast you do need to have your arm relaxed.  This will allow the muscles to fire in the right order.  If you tighten up then you are stopping the muscles from working efficiently.

There are always little quirks by different players.  In general having a relaxed arm is better.
