I'm trying to learn the WW forehand keeping the wrist loose (hinge-like) and having a unconscious forearm pronation caused by the centrifugal forces induced expecially by the shoulder/trunc rotation and elastic forces from forearm stretrched tendons.
During the forward swing, I feel my arm muscles do most of the work to keep constant the upper-arm / forearm angle, expecially the biceps, that tends to open itself during the swing. It seemed to me that if this angle isn't firm, the raquet head loses acceleration. Isn't it ?
I use a SW grip and I tend to keep this angle at about 110-120 degrees. Assumed i'm doing the right, Is it correct to work keeping this angle constant ? Is it so important to lock the upper-arm / forearm angle to have a good racket head speed ?
