• Good ready ready position with feet a little wider than shoulder width, knees flexed, torso straight, and racquet at waist level pointing straight ahead.
• Good unit turn with shoulders 90 degrees to the net. The hitting arm goes straight back so the racquet hand is positioned in the middle of the back leg.
• The arm and racquet move forward as a unit to the contact point, which is well in front of the front leg.
• At the finish, the wrist is at eye level, and the shaft of the racquet is still at the same open angle to the court. The torso is still straight up and down from the waist. The racquet face has stayed at the same angle through the swing and this results in a combination of underspin and good shot velocity.
