Do you know why women flop their forearm back so far on the backswing of their FH? It's all in their carrying angle, which is significantly wider than men's. Look it up. Here is a picture showing the carrying angle in men vs women:
Several studies have shown that that angle is significantly wider in females, possibly to adjust to their wider hips. Now picture that arm doing a backswing for a forehand, especially with the SW grip that most ladies use. It's all science, my friends. So I don't want you to blame them ladies anymore for flopping their forearm til it points to the left fence on their FH takeback, ok? Instead, understand, and love them. Thank you. You're welcome.
