Thanks Tomas, good tips. You keep it simple. I appreciate the way you avoid the “overly technical” approach many teaching pros use.

Hi Kelvin,

The relaxed wrist will not do snapping effect unless you know how to decelerate the hips, body and even arm in order to get transfer of momentum. For recreational level that is basically unattainable.

We do use the wrist actively as we snap / pop into the ball. We will not get into habit of using too much because we are focusing on ball control and we see what happens with the ball depending on the force of the wrist snap.

Through trial and error and repetition we figure out the right amounts of sources of power to use in order to hit a good shot but keep it inside the court.

The sources of power for groundstrokes are legs, hips, core rotation, shoulder rotation, swing, arm extension and wrist snap.

These all learn to work in harmony to efficiently produce the right amount of force needed in each particular situation in order to control the ball well.

Thank you for the trampoline effect tips. I agreed that pop will give extra speed vs like the Table Tennis stroke. I also believe we don’t use wrist in tennis but arm and now I can see the new snapping effect. So I believe the relax wrist will do the snapping effect automatically without us knowing it and we need not purposely incorporate in the trampoline stroke by purpose. Otherwise we will have a habit of using wrist too much as priority in the stoke if we too aware of such trick.
