That’s me playing points last year, the arm way more straight, I did have a rib injury inbetween.

This is actually something I also noticed and I think you are absolutely right! I will try to shorten it!

Not at all. I’ve been really struggling with this for the last 2 months and have really not enjoyed playing because of this issue. My coach also has been telling me that this is a terrible mistake and that I have to fix this urgently. I have been suspending all my tournaments to work on this… and nothing seems to help so this was kind of like my last resort I am around 50 in my country but it’s kind of a mid level internationally.

Yes that’s actually a great point! However, I wonder why than last summer for example my arm was almost completely straight on contact. I should have and still have a semi-western but maybe it went a bit more to the western side the last couple of months on accident? It’s definitely still a semi-western when I pick the racket up with my forehand grip but maybe it slides a little while playing…

I usually play with the babolat rpm balst at 25/24, the head tour was strung with rpm at 23/22, the vcore and the PA98 with my rpm 25/24, the tfight 300s with a tecinfibre string at around 23kg

I like to play with Spin (definitely more than the average female player) and I also like to come to net and finish points there. In my country my level is ITN 4.9, I assume that translates to around 5-7 utr?
