Titulek 1 Catching the racket with your other hand when you follow through can be a good thing to do if you're working on building your forehand because it gets you doing couple of the fundamental things we've talked about in the forehand section First, it'll make sure you follow through all the way If you're gonna catch your racket over here the racket has to go from contact all the way around to over here So, some players will stop short in their follow through this will force you to continue your follow through all the way around Second, it'll have you following through in the right way Some player will hit and their arm structure will break down but if you catch the racket over here,you'll extend out in the direction you're hitting and then you'll turn your arm and the racket over like you're trying to check the time on a wrist watch so that you can catch it over on the other side your body.
Finally, it'll help you continue to rotate your upper body after contact and into the follow through That said, you don't have to catch the racket with your other hand when you follow through There are a lot of players out there that when they follow through they follow through high but their ohter arm will stay over here somewhere they won't catch it with the other hand So, it's a preference thing, it's a style thing I'm one of those players. I'll hit and a lot of times when I follow through up here my other hand will be over here somewhere what that means is that you can catch it, it can help you with some things but you don't have to.
Let's compare Oliver and Frank's follow through side by side.
When Frank follows through he brings the racket over his shoulder and he catches it with his other hand But when Oliver follows through over here he also brings it over his shoulder but he does NOT catch it.
So, what that should tell you is that catching the racket when you follow through has a lot to do with personal preference.
It's not necessary to catch it. There are some situations when you don't wanna try to catch the racket with your other hand when you follow through. There are some situations when it's not appropriate.
These situation are typically when you follow through lower; you follow through below your shoulder somewhere in between your waist and your shoulders.
It's relatively easy to catch the racket when you follow through high but the lower you get, the more akward it becomes when you follow through trying to catch it with your other hand so, typically, when you follow through, the lower the follow through is, the less likely you are, the less appropriate it is for you to try to catch the racket with your other hand.
In this forehand, Oliver's gonna follow through little bit differently he's gonna follow through lower in between his shoulders and his waist you can see that here, this is called a WW forehand so the racket's gonna come up and then down and at the completion of his follow through here the racket again is below his shoulders and this is one of those situations where it would NOT be appropriate to try to catch your racket So, we can compare this follow through with a picture of Andy Roddick (?) following through and the positions look almost identical his racket, Roddick's racket is in between his shoulders and his waist and you'll see his back arm, he is not trying to catch the racket with his other hand so again, catching the racket with your other hand, can be a good thing to do if you finish up over your shoulder it'll get you doing lot of the fundamentals you need to have a successful forehand But trying to catch it all the time is NOT appropriate There are some follow throughs where it'll actually hurt if you'll try to catch the racket with your other hand.
