Best arm angle for double bend FH?

[dominikk1985]

What angle do you prefer for a DB FH? close to 90 degrees? or more open?

I used to use more of a 90 degree angle but since I saw the heath waters millenium FH I experimented with a more open angle (around 110-120) and it felt more relaxed.

what angle do you like most?

The degree of arm bend should be completely up to the player. I've seen great forehands with bends anywhere from 90 to 180 (no bend) degrees, so you should go with whatever you like best. I personally have a bend closer to 90 than 180 degrees, but this is just me. It also varies a bit from shot to shot; some balls when I'm jammed I'm right about 90, and others when I'm stretched I'm much more open.
