wrist goes into extension AND ulnar deviation at start of fwd swing ...this is key for effective topspin

Aim to hit ball with top of frame ... tricks brain somehow and results in sweet spot contact

bend (fold) elbow to impart heavy topspin and give a glancing blow ... to keep ball in the court

the swing is a finesse swing ... just a flick of the forearm from knees to head level ... vertical up and down ...with NO transverse of torso

Run up to ball ....get sideways ... land on left foot and (at impact) hop on left foot thru shot ...adding body weight to power shot and body's lift to add more spin ...

do not bring racket across body (no rainbow swing) ... instead rip up the back of ball vertically - low to high like a topspin lob ... need speed and spin to lift ball over net and bring it down in the court ... trust it
