When you want to hit a topspin FH the approach of the racquet towards the ball is lead by the top edge of the racquet as you swing from low to high right?
My question is about supination during the FH swing after the initial take back. If you are supposed to pre-supinate your forearm before so that you can get a much stronger and complete pronation on the finish, how is it possible to maintain a slightly closed face of the racquet (or even perpendicular face to the ground) at contact without using anything other than a western grip?
Seems to me using an eastern grip (and maybe even semi western), with full supination along the forward swing path would open the racquet face up as the racquet length is approximately parallel with the ground at contact.
What am I missing?
