Note how player stays inclined thru shot ...he does not straighten his spine immediately post impact ...instead he goes "shoulder over shoulder" into the follow thru ...left shoulder stays lower

head is slightly in front of right arm at impact and ball is contacted directly above right shoulder

ball is hit up but the trajectory is down because the torso is leaning fwd (and because of spin)

note how impact occurs with racket handle angled approx 45* off forearm ....immediately post impact handle and forearm are in a straight line

Elbow is never above shoulder plane ...will cause injury and lose power ...shoulder line and elbow should be the same plane
