total agree! thanks

@@TotalTennisDomination I just leave little finger off the grip for my serves I just tuck it under the butt cap for I like to keep my wrist unlocked. But I also keep the wrist unlocked for my forehand to allow me to do mini little crosscourt angles over the netcord with tight spin when behind or inside the baseline or up at the court net area, and I use it for my one hand backhand slice to allow me to side spin the ball more. I also use a loose wrist when doing my swinging volleys so I can do mini angled droppers over the netcord to pull them out towards the side fences. The Loose wrist allows me to open up more areas of the court. I do like using that Alcatraz Forehand with a loose wrist. I don't like hitting with tight tension in the wrist.

Agree. But only if your technique allows for it. If you don't have enough rackethead control than a racket with more weight can actually cause you injuries.

I personally focus on relaxing my hand but I think the elbow will go first if the arm is relaxed. thanks

Thanks for the question! This is not a whipping motion, where the racquet is slung into the ball by the wrist, but more so where the weight of the racquet head allows the wrist to hinge back into a extended position, which is a strong position for contact. Here's a slow motion of Roger hitting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TViGEogv3rc.html Although I do see some pros using the wrist, I think this is a different shot where they're trying to impart extra spin when trying to bend the ball with heavy topspin. I don't suggest that personally, because over using the wrist could cause injury.

@@TotalTennisDomination Thanks for the reply, it helps. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how stiff the wrist is throughout the stroke and at contact. My best analogy would be: is it a noodle? With a noodle wrist, the racquet is slung at the ball (great description, thanks!) but not by the wrist but by the arm accelerating forward and the wrist and racquet just come along for the ride loosely and naturally, kind of like the end of a whip just follows wherever the handle has whipped it. Hope this makes sense 🙃

I would suggest you to test different wrist loose levels. Maybe go for around 100 shots or more on each level and when you feel that you are comfortable(have that efortless feeling) and satisfied with the speed, spin and control of the ball then feel free to use that level.

The analogy I like to think of for repelling a powerful blow is using the "karate kid" example "wax on wax off". I'm not trying to meet power for blows with a powerful impact but trying to dissipate the power by brushing up on the ball.

@@TotalTennisDomination Well, that's understandable.. but still respond to a counter powerful blow with a light brush .. this is a straight Spanish school..and traumatic..when I switched from Blade and Clash to head gravity.. it became unreal.. play with "two fingers"

Same 😂

I agree that sometimes you may have to add a little bit more tension, but if you watch the video I link below while Rogers hitting the ball, you can clearly see that he is not squeezing the racket to death, because if so, the racquet would not spin around in his hand like it does. thanks for the comment. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TViGEogv3rc.html

Related to looseness, I found that thinking about 'LETTING the racquet tip go helps me stay loose and have proper mechanics--together with breathing out long and slow on the swing. focusing on the image of letting the tip swing away / fly away...

lol... I have my entire hand on the racquet.
