This week I interviewed 8 time NZL champion, and winner of...

  15. Video of my game

    Relax is definitely the key word. The trick is to build the acceleration up over the length of your stroke. It's called 'stored acceleration' as opposed to loosening up then trying to hit the ball hard on contact or stiffening up completely.
