When players are not rotating their hips properly, they often rely too much on their arms, causing them to get stuck in their movement. It is crucial for players to become comfortable with the hip rotation movement to enhance their performance.
One effective method to encourage this is by using an open stance backhand. This technique involves having the players step out and swing around, allowing them to naturally rotate their hips. If a player is struggling with hip rotation, it’s often because they get stuck in their stance. Teaching them to hit with an open stance can help free their hips and improve their overall movement and power in their shots.
