The unit turn and the wiper
I've been working with Scott Murphy on my one-hander for a few years now. I'm finally getting to where I've got a much better unit turn than when we started and it has had the biggest impact on my one-hander. Just a couple of weeks ago, Scott talked me through what you're calling the wiper and a fuller release on the follow-through. The biggest effect for me was to feel that I was really letting go through the shot. Just the act of considering such a full release seemed to result in greater racquet head speed through contact. I'm having a ball hitting my one-hander now and now have to remember that the slice remains important and I can't come over every single ball (as much as I'd like to).
Thanks for such an excellent piece John!
