Push on the ground and the ground pushes back.
This means for topspin (as well as the serve) one prepares by turning away from the ball as the knees bend (corkscrewing down) and then pushing and turning into the ball for the hit (corkscrewing up). This will feel and be entirely different than the other method of simply stepping in with your weight against the ball without any down and up from the ground.

  • Fay - thanks for the note - somehow I think I could help either ice skaters or ribbon gymnasts with their tennis by using similar materials - lets stay in touch

    best

  • this is exactly what we teaching in figure skating to continue to put into the ground on every single strong and all turns are a small jump, lift up off the ice to turn. Having been a figure skating coach has really helped my tennis. Good stuff you post. I never saw the connection between the FH (which is my weapon) and the serve which I am working on now ... the counting and the connection between FH and serve is more helpful to me at this time than I have words to express. Thank you !!!
