The Follow Through of the Backhand

The follow through of the backhand

The follow through is from contact to where the racquet makes a bridge.  The bridge is high enough to walk under without hitting your head.  The wrist is locked and racquet face pointed in the direction of the intended target. Please note that the tip of the racquet is pointed to the side and knuckles of the right hand pointed to the intended target. The racquet almost makes a right angle in relationship to the hitting arm. The left hand always travels back to counter balance the body and prevent over rotation of the shoulders.
