hi Tomaz,
after reading the Swing Low to High article a question arose spontaneously: what’s the difference with handling the last moment of the swinging up in the forehand stroke? where let the run finish? At the shoulder high, upside the shoulder, or upside the head?

The concept of focussing on hitting a certain point on the ball, for example, below the equator, also works for the direction of the ball, i.e. just hit a little more “west” or “east” to direct the ball left or right.

This way your focus is on the ball and you avoid pulling away from the ball and mishit because you are focussed on the target.

The tip of hitting below the equator has helped me a lot. I had always problems to get over the net.

Thanks Tomaz.

Hi Tomaz,
Just to add a bit to my previous comment. As I was hitting the other day thinking to apply this new top spin technique.

I was amazed at how well it improved my one handed backhand.

When we try to hit a low ball with topspin, it is hard to get enough lift on the ball, as many pro players choose to slice a low backhand…

But an added benefit I found when I for fully swing down at the ball, ( below the equator) I automatically ALSO got more lift over the net! Yay!

Wow, just when I thought I knew everything that could be known about ground strokes technique; this teaching about how to impart top spin is revolutionary!
Yes, we throw the racquet down in the swing path just befor contact, and the raquet path as it hits the Apex of the downward swing natural come up imparting topspin!
And it happens effortlessly with looseness and momentum, raquet head speed…
