Open Racket Face


Why is there so much emphasis on having an open racket face?

  • To be able to get the racket face under the ball to lift it up above the tin.
  • To prevent so many unforced errors.
  • To get the power in the drive by pronation/supination of the forearm.
  • To backspin the ball to make it sit down and control the speed.
