EXPLAINED: POWER and SPIN in FOREHAND
Dear Readers,
In Newton's law ,
Force = Mass x Acceleration
What is acceleration ?Change of Velocity / time
To apply it in tennis, what kind of acceleration and for what ?
Acceleration of Racket head to achieve BOTH the TOP spin effect and the POWeR
To achieve TOP spin
Angular Acceleration (otherwise known as WHIP)
To achieve POWER
Forward Acceleration
SPIN + POWER = HEAVY
To create MAXIMUM acceleration we need to focus on delivering the bio-mechanics to bring racket to a MAXIMUM speed in the SHORTEST time possible.
