Strokes – The Wrist Is A Key Factor In Forehand Consistency

Lay the wrist back… roll the wrist over the ball for topspin… there is a lot of confusion on the role of the wrist when hitting a forehand.  Let me say that if you’re trying to roll your wrist over the ball you will lack consistency in the long run.  You see when you’re trying to roll the racquet, it is usually a little laid back as you’re coming into the contact point, if you do not roll at precisely the right milli-second the racquet my be laid back a few degrees (1-5) which will send your shot long.  If you roll too early you smother the ball and hit in the net… if you roll at the exact milli-second your racquet is vertical the ball stays in.  THIS IS VERY RISKY BUSINESS.

  • "I've used a lot of racquets since I was 14 and I have to say the M5 is the best balanced and the easiest to play with. It plays so well it feels like an extension of my arm. I probably would have won the Kentucky State Championships 3x's instead of the 2 titles I won in 1956 and 1957, if I had an M5."

    "The Avery M3 is a solid performer. The weight and balance of this racquet make it swing through the air with ease while delivering a heavy ball to the opponent's side of the court. This racquet will be around long after the "game improvement" hype of other manufacturers has long been forgotten. I play with and recommend the Avery M3 to all of my customers."
