Hello I would like to explain
how to use your wrist for forehand stroke. This video clip is the case of -
swinging the racket hard but the ball only travels a short distance
Or the form of swing is
not technically correct. Or damage of the wrist.
Unsure how to use the body in order to strike the ball strongly
For those people I would like to introduce this method. The purpose of this video clip is
to understand the fundamentals of the swing, how to generate the force
and to apply it. Also striking a powerful ball
with less strength and correct form
To understand all of these is the goal.
You often see in a magazine that
explains to use the wrist, using the wrist snap
and push the ball while releasing from the racket however in this method
it is difficult to hit a ball strongly
Let’s understand how to use your body applying a fundamental rule
First of all when you are going to strike the ball
turn the body on its centre axis. To swing your body on its centre axis
and when the body turns the arm follows with the force
and also with racket it generates a centrifugal force.
Using this force when striking the ball is
to enable to make the most easiest way
and a longer distance. And the important thing
The force generated is transferred to the ball
without the body interrupting it
is the key point. And another thing is
a direction and a ball type for example, when you control
a spin or straight, it is a point that
how to change the movement of the racket
without disturbing the strength generated
from the body while transferring
to the arm and the racket Another example is a stream of a river
When the large stream is created as if a large river flows in your body
and if it is blocked then it can create
only a small power. So that how to transfer
the flow to the outer extremities of the body
and to the racket without blocking
it is the achievement of both in which the movement
of the racket you control and to control
without disrupting the flow is very important
and a key point you have to think.
Okay I would like to focus on the movement of the wrist
When you are going to swing but when you see the movement of a professional
it looks like the wrist is moving
before and after striking the ball. And…
this movement also looks like the wrist pushing it
in fact it is not true. According to the previous method
the force from the turning body would be blocked
at the point when you move the wrist
It is difficult to transmit this body movement
and the movement of the wrist The force generated by the body
is blocked at this point therefore the strength is only from the wrist
Important point is this wrist movement
does not relay on the strength of the wrist
It is just visually making the movement
when transferring the large force from body to the racket
Firstly when the body central axis is turning
and the body turn around from swinging back position
you can see the racket delay
the body comes first. Next important point is
to stop the turning motion of the body half way through
You see the racket swings out forward
because of the centrifugal force When the body is turning
the racket is carried to the front by the centrifugal force This is the movement of
the racket that comes forward If you see this
only in a photo it looks like
the wrist is pushing but in fact
it is the force generated from the body turning
and stopping abruptly therefore the racket continues through
