Julian,

I looked quickly, but couldn't find it. I think it was a post in one of WestCoast's threads; not sure. I'll try to look when I have more time.

Buggy Whip Stepping in...

Interesting comment. I'm not sure if I've seen a buggy whip (reverse) with the opposite foot (right hander stepping in with the left foot), however. As Brett Hobden says, you can't teach a topspin lob stepping into the ball. Although I have seen it at the club level...not that reliable.

I'm not Julian but think that one can crank weight onto the ball with body turn as well. Or do both. Or neither. A neutral shot in which one got all one's weight on front foot early, as Peter Burwash used to preach, and in which hips and shoulders had already done their thing might still be a great shot if all the force successfully multiplied into racket head speed for a weightless and purely topspun buggy-whip.
