Hi,
Just wondering the order and contribution of the leg drive, body and arm to the forehand. Is it that once the opponent hit the ball, you open shoulder turn with non-dominant arm on same side with racket arm, then the legs (either closed stance or open stance), then body turn, then arm rotation? Recently i ve been critiqued using too much arm (too much and too fast whipping without proper rotation and weight transfer). My friend, who is 4.5 or 5.0 who used to play in some small ITF circuit, said that i should slow my arm down while try to drive with my legs, rotate my shoulder and then the arms should follow. He said the whipping or follow through will come naturally. All i need to focus is the hitting zone out in front and again, legs, body then arm. Any one has comments on this order? Bungalo Bill, whats your take?
