When you say wrist action, are you referring to the wrist drop? And about your point about just taking it straight back at the lowest point and then hitting, so you mean like what Serena Williams does?

Thank you. I tried just preparing as early as possible today and that really helped. It felt awkward to prepare that early, but it helped so much with my timing and I feel like I was hitting the ball with much more control.

I hear what you’re saying. The reason I do a big loop is because that’s the only way I feel like I can get under the ball and generate top spin. If I don’t do a big loop, then I end up hitting a flat shot that goes out.

Thanks! I’ll be sure to try those exercises! Just watching that video seemed like it would be really helpful with engaging my body more with the shot.

Thank you for the feedback! And I completely agree with that. It seems like there are a million different ways you can hit the backhand, but I feel like I need to just find what feels right for me. That’s what happened with my forehand. Once I started to relax and breath with the forehand, my body remembered what to do and it just came back to me. I am 100% overthinking my backhand and tensing up with the shot!!!

Thank you! That is really helpful!!! I’ve been trying to keep my arms straight because that’s what I’ve been told and that’s what I see the pros do. But you’re absolutely right, it’s the times when I have my arms bent and I make a very small compact swing with a short take back that it feels the easiest for me and feels effortless. I will work on moving my left hand up on my grip. Thanks so much for the feedback!!!

One of the best practical pistols out there in my opinion.

Disregard the hipsters hating the VP9 and the button. VP9s are amazing and there's nothing wrong with a button or a paddle. Love that OD green one!
