Master Rosario ,

Very often pro players plays forehand-topspin with right shoulder(for right hand players)  is more down from the other.

Why?

Hi Il,

Waldner has dropped his shoulder at the start because he is caught slightly out of position and needs to get the bat lower to lift the serve.

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.
