Tennis Lesson Topspin Forehand: For More TOPSPIN Importance of Shoulder Rotation

[FinalFan0]

Good video, I also learned how important it is to have good fitness. Ever since June, I have managed to cut my weight down from 211 to 175lbs. So lately, I had been watching Federer's forehand in a match he had against Andy Roddick in 2007; it may have been the best form I have seen Roger in ever. I aimed to reproduce some of his follow-throughs and noticed how much more power I can get in my forehand from being lighter and forcing my bodyweight into and over the ball with a 180 degree turn.

i use an eastern forehand grip (search "roger federer's forehand grip" by fyb2007 on youtube, thats the eastern forehand grip i use) and i cant seem to get enough topspin at times. i hit neutral stance, laid back wrist, and i'm short (5'4.5" approx.) so about 30%-40% of the forehands i hit are from shoulder up (i play a good amount of dinkers and lobbers)

you got to close the face on it and accelerate over it to generate the topspin, look at slow motion roger fed it's tzu? or something or other...
