There’s been some chatter about the swoop. It has been my stance for a while that it isn’t always a bad thing. Now I am diving into how some players might be using it on the backhand as a GOOD thing. Today we cover how to avoid the bad swoop / elbow dip and get into a little bit of a theoretical discussion on how it may actually be a way that some players are creating extra swing length.
