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
With these in mind, we need to achieve a Optimal mix of both to create the desired effect of both SPIN and POWERSPIN + 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.
