Tennis: How to Create Topspin

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

Racket / Ball impact happens with right shoulder ahead of left (FH)

Start forward swing with the hips .... Let the hips pull the arm into the ball

Ball is hit wit a deflecting blow ...a 'hard' glancing impact ... with a swing that is rising ...start swig under ball and catch the racket at shoulder height.

Extend arm thru impact forwards and up .. easier power comes from torso rotation pulling arm thru shot (as opposed to pushing arm into impact)

DO NOT focus on impact... mentally focus on finish ...do NOT focus on unit turn, pat dog, elbow drive, hip turn, impact, elbow twist, etc ... focus on achieving a high and over the shoulder finish right from your realization the ball is coming to your forehand side.
