More power and speed in your tennis strokes? The secret lies in the coordination of partial impulses. Using the example of a Forehand stroke, imagine a chain reaction: The movement starts in your legs and continues through your hips, torso, shoulder, into your arm, hand, and finally the racket. Each muscle group works in turn, from bottom to top and from inside to outside.
This precise sequence allows the power development to come together optimally at the contact point. The result: improved economy of movement, higher racket speed and optimally connected partial movements. Remember: the deceleration of the previous body part increases the speed of the next – until your racket, as the last link in this chain, unleashes maximum power.
