    After 10 years of playing tennis. I finally unlocked the wrist lag power thank to this video! For me, it's the hip/chest rotation with relax of the hand (not just the wrist) as well as watching the ball and timing. It feels so effortless to hit the ball. To me, tennis is like, the more you loosen up the better.
