The idea is to use the whole body to throw the medicine ball
and to be explosive.
The swing needs to mirror the medicine ball throw.
The idea is to set up the same way as you did when
as you did when you threw the medicine ball
and swing as fast as possible while staying relaxed.
On the backhand side it is the same concept, throw the medicine ball
as fast as possible using the whole body
keeping your shoulders level.
Make sure the technique of the throw
is solid. The technique of the stroke
needs to mimic the technique of the throw.
The swing needs to be fast.
The same concept applies to the serve.
Usually you want to throw four to six times and then swing 4 to 6 times.
You wanna be explosive, and you wanna go as fast as you can.
Right after throwing the medicine ball you swing as fast as possible
staying relaxed.
The idea is to use the whole body.
Here you can use a kids' racquet or you can use a badminton racket, anything that is
very, very light
The idea is you want to fool the body a little bit.
You want to swing faster than normal with the light racquet and then tried to
do the same thing with your normal racquet.
It is important to have all the balls together so that you can
repeat those swings one after the other one.
The same concept can be applied
to every stroke.
5 or 6 really fast forehands with a very very light racquet and then
5 or 6 maximum
speeds swings.
Here is an example with the backhand, as fast as possible
trying to stay relaxed and trying to keep the technique solid.
You start with the backhand. See there is a weight on the racquet.
6 really fast swings
with a heavy racquet follow by 6 shadow swings
with the normal racquet
and followed by 6 swings
hitting the ball. All swings have to
be very fast trying to stay relaxed
and trying to make sure the technique doesn't suffer.
Same thing on the forehand side:
heavy racquet first,
shadow swinging
with normal racquet
and finally hitting the ball
