Loop Forehand

by Monty Basnyat

Movement/Swing Elements

• Use a semi-western grip.
• Take the racquet back in a semi-circle motion, with the racquet head ending up slightly above shoulder height.
• As you step and move forward towards contact, your wrist and racquet head should be below the height of the ball.
• As you make contact, brush up on the ball, adding a slight upward flick of the wrist to generate extra racquet head speed.
