Teaching Points:
- use standard forehand or backhand grip for clears
- non-racquet hip should be facing the net
- racquet leg should be bent at the knee and most of your
weight should be on the racquet foot
- non-racquet shoulder should be pointing towards the net
- racquet should be at an upward angle, a natural extension
of the arm
- as the racquet hip pushes toward the net, the racquet shoulder
moves toward the net as well and starts to initiate the arm action
- begin a throwing motion, the elbow leads the wrist, as the
elbow moves forward, the forearm pronates and the wrist flexes so that at
contact, the raquet arm is almost straight at contact
