Hi
I've come across something that's giving me a hard time to figure out regarding the proper motion/weight transfer on the forehand loop.
All the posts/videos that I've come across mention that you should transfer your weight from right to left (right handed here), and that's how I practice when doing shadows, warm ups, etc. However, I've seen a lot of videos where the players "jump" and their hips actually move in the opposite direction, how come? Am I missing something or is it something that has to be done while picking up the pace? I'm actually confused, how should I practice my shadow drills?
Example of "textbook" technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsbezFVXePs
Example of "moving in the wrong direction" (go to the 3 minute mark for slow motion, easier to see examples): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHinDVOhfOw
Here's Samson Dubina "doing it wrong": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt4cpdx1TYs
