One way I show this to players is by standing behind them and holding their forearm only. Now, what’s important to know is that, whatever drop technique you’re using, the wrist must fall into the laid-back position by itself. If you immediately lay back your wrist fully while preparing your forehand stroke, you will lose on the stretch-and-release effect that happens when we lag the racket (and therefore the wrist) behind. When players learn about the fully laid back wrist while taking lessons or observing the pros in slow motion, the biggest mistake they make is that they try to copy exactly what they see. That natural looseness and flexibility of the wrist can then be used to work on the ball with much more feel and control. Once that happens, almost no more tension is required to keep the wrist and therefore the racket in place. When that happens, it means that the wrist has reached a very stable position and cannot move any more backwards – because of the way the arm and hand bones and tendons are structured. If I hit the ball well in front then my wrist will be in a stable (L) position.
Keep in mind that you can have a fully laid back wrist only if you hit the ball well in front where your forearm and wrist form a roughly 90 degree angle (or a letter L for an easier mental image). With this loss of the wrist flexibility the player also loses the ability to precisely spin the ball and to adjust with the hand if last-minute adjustments are necessary.Īll those are not possible with a very tight and “locked” wrist. The negative consequence of that is that the player then loses the feel in their hand and the flexibility of the wrist which can still move around its axis.

If the player’s wrist doesn’t reach full extension, meaning it doesn’t reach the end of its movement and end up fully laid back, then the player has to actively stabilize the wrist by tightening the grip and wrist muscles to keep the wrist and the racket stable at impact. They realize and feel that their wrist is stable and “strong” and that they don’t have to squeeze the racket or contract their hand and wrist muscles in order to stabilize the racket – which is what they have probably been doing all the time.
