Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
A good weight transfer involves starting with your weight on your back foot and shifting it towards the shot direction during the swing.
- 2
Combining weight transfer with body rotation allows the racket to travel a longer distance towards the target, improving the contact point and control.
- 3
Vertical work involves generating force from low to high for topspin shots or from high to low for slice shots, utilizing leg drive and body movement.
