There is a common misconception about the role of your wrist
when you hit a forehand
A lot of people think that you're supposed to snap your wrist
as you hit the tennis ball
But that's not what's happening
when you swing forward your wrist gets into a position that you keep
before, at and little bit through contact.
So let's look at Frank hitting a forehand and see if that hold true
As he swings forward he lays that wrist back
and then he's gonna keep this wrist position through contact
So he swings forward, he makes contact, freeze it here
he got the same wrist position, his wrist is laid back
and into his follow through he still keeps that wrist position
the ball's well off his strings, and it's not till about now
that his wrist starts to release again, he's following through and trying to check the time on an imaginary wrist watch
So, let's now look at a different forehand.
This is Oliver. He's gonna be hitting what's a WW forehand in this clip.
and that's where you get a lot of misconception
because you finish lower so it looks like you're snapping your wrist to finish low.
But again, the wrist is gonna stay in the same position through contact
so, he's swinging forward, he lays that wrist back
he makes contact, he still got that same wrist position
there wasn't any movement before and up to contact
The racket is gonna vibrate a little bit as the ball comes off his strings
so it's recoiling, but he's not using his wrist
and then it's not till about here that he releases that wrist as he follows through
Now, it might look like there is a little bit more movement with his arm and his racket
because he's rotating at his shoulder, he's rotating his arm and racket as an unit
and that's why it looks like there's more movement with the tennis racket
So let's play it one more time and the wrist stays laid back
but again, don't confuse shoulder rotation with using his wrist
He makes contact with the tennis ball, and then into his follow through
there he releases the racket and that's why he finishes a little bit lower.
