Loading and Weight Distribution on the semi open and closed stance Forehands

Referring to the offensive forehand, the semi open and closed stances have different body weight dynamics when generating force for power. In the semi open stance, the power comes from loading/pushing the right leg(rh) into the court when swinging. The action of pushing into the court with the leg creates a powerful opposite reaction which accelerates the body core when it rotates during swinging. In the closed stance, the power comes from the shifting of the weight from the back leg(rl,rh) to the front leg when swinging. On both of these stances, it is assumed that when turning to load the body weight, one is straight and balanced. afdd.

Forehand Volley

On the Forehand Volley keep your arm close to your body when hitting the ball. This gives you more leverage to keep the wrist extended(cocked) when hitting ball. The harder the ball that is hit to you, keep the elbow closer to your body. afdd
