TopspinPro | The correct way to use the TopspinPro for the Modern Wiper Forehand 

Thank you for your comment. We were very fortunate to have Nick Wheatley, who is a globally recognised tennis coach, share his views on how to get the best out of the TopspinPro. Please get in touch via our website - www.topspinpro.com - if you have any questions about the TopspinPro. We have a 60-day money-back guarantee so there is no risk if you wanted to trial one? Phil

@@TopspinPro sure will. Nick definitely knows his stuff.

You're right - it certainly is. The way I have found that describes it best is to say that the wrist has as passive role in the stroke, but it still has a role. Yes, the movement is triggered at the shoulder and this long-axis rotation is then significantly added to at the elbow and then the final movement is the wrist from ulnar to radial deviation. To suggest the wrist does not move is completely wrong. All you have to do is swing a racket with your wrist locked in an ulnar deviated position. It's simply impossible to execute a wind-wiper forehand with a locked wrist.

You're absolutely right. And the purpose of the TopspinPro is to reflect the steepness from contact onwards (although slightly exaggerated). This 'constrained coaching' method then forces the player to adjust what they do before contact to make the correct finish.
