In one of the posts recently about how to increase the racquet drop on serve, someone talked about thinking in terms of throwing the racquet (like a javelin).
I took this advice and applied it to groundstrokes. When hitting them, I visualized "throwing" the racquet into the ball. (I'm not talking about actually letting go of the racquet, just the sensation for throwing the racquet)
I did notice that the ball seemed "pop" off my racquet more, and my shots had more pace. Though I am still learning the timing and control.
Is anyone else familiar with this as a teaching technique for developing racquet head speed?
