The Racquet Face before the Forward Move

The Racquet Face before the Forward Move

The racquet face before the forward move to contact should be closed and pointed to the back fence. This position ensures a vertical face of racquet at contact. The wrist is locked and should stay that way as the arm moves forward to the contact. The left hand again points at the ball before the strike and counterbalances the body so the shoulders move in sync with the racquet.
