this guy seems to be unskilled nub.. only thing you need to know is to do whip naturally, have absolutely relaxed arm, and do footwork as fast as possible.. ( the motion starts always from legs... then abs then body, then arm then wrist and finally racket...
umm you dont always hit a crosscourt shot when you snap your wrist. it has more to do with how early or late you hit the ball or what angle you hit it at. also, binhvo, no on the forhand you DO want to snap your wrist when you want a topspin shot. the only shot where you never want to snap your wrist is on volleys.
I have been trying to snap my wrists at contact to get that little extra power on the forehand. I'm not exactly getting the timing right though. I am able to use the wrist motion to generate great power on my single handed backhand though. Just not been able to translate that to forehand. So now my backhand is more fearsome than my forehand, haha.
Any tips on how to incorporate wrist action into the forehand?
No clue, only recently have I incorporated wrist action into my forehand. My two handed back hand is killer, very fluid natural motion for me - but no wrist action. When practicing, my forehand with wrist action is inconsistent but similar power to my two handed backhand. I have not been able to incorporate a wrist action forehand into my actual game yet due to inconsistency, and seemingly too much energy waste/effort for a smashing forehand.
snaping your wrist can generate a lot of topspin, which can be very useful when hitting a low ball coming into the net or when hitting running passing shots.
At the base line return you don't snap your wrist, you turn your whole forearm at contact with the ball. If you only move your wrist the ball is gonna come out funny all the time.
I use a combination of wrist snap and pronation. I let the racket do the work just before making contact with the ball. Let's me hit with power without much work.
It is a timing thing. Drag your wrist back and at then simply snap that wrist at the time when you decide to hit it. It's almost instinctual, you just have to have a feel when to do it. It took me several months to become adept at it. When I first began playing as a kid, they always told me NOT to snap the wrist, but I found that the power I generated when I did simply made no sense not to do it.
One Question: When I am in the preparation stage, should I feel a stress on my shoulder? Before I drop my racket, my elbow and my shoulder remain high. The growing of the tightness recommends I should now drop the racket. Is this a proper method to allow a good preparation?
The point of this video was to show that the weight transfer and body rotation proceed the forward swing of the arm independent of the body. If you look up some hitting clips for Federer or Roddick you'll see this holds true.
"Make sure u hit the right ball" Golden words from the wise, it'd be good to remember that advice...seriously, i learned that the hard way

I belive that snapping the wrist is only for serve.
all ground strokes, the wrist stay stiff at a 90 degree at your wrist.

It's a very difficult shot nonetheless.

never use your wrist on a groundstroke because our contact point wont be clean.

the wrist should not move at all in your forehand. you can pronate your wrist WITH your forearm like Roger Federer or Rafa Nadal
your forehand power should come mainly from your upper body rotation

i think for forehand, do not try to snap your wrist, just keep it natural and relax the shot
and another thing, backhand is the easier thing to snap your wrist, like Roddick lol....

Quoting israrthefirst, "People can be so stupid."
The video title is, "Timing Your Swing," I don't see where you get the idea it's showing how to do a proper one. It's silly to misread, no?
