        At this point I have to emphasize that there are three great ways to start the preparation, to bring the racket back
        
        Above
        
        Under.
        
        Right.
        
        We will discuss this when we discuss racket movements and their effects.
        
        The ass of the racket fist signals the arrival of the ball.
      - Waiting position
        
        The hands, holding the racket at waist height, are still relaxed, but not limp.
        
        East right grip.
        
        The feet open more or less the width of the shoulders.
        
        Slight inclination of the body, and thus, we turn the weight of the body forward, as if on tiptoe.
- - - - Stepping the left foot forward, turning the shoulders, and raising the left hand towards the ball to have a reference of the stroke
      - Before making the impact, we will adjust the shot by taking the necessary steps to stay under the ball.
    - - Feet facing the net, knees semiflexed
      - The racket is held with the dominant hand by the fist and the non-dominant hand by the neck of the racket
      - The racket head is slightly high and the hands are in front of the body.
    - - Above the head, arm stretched towards the ball
      - Body weight on the left leg and forward
      - The racket remains locked at the moment of impact
      - The left arm begins the downward path towards the stomach area
    - - The racket after going forward picks up the blow on the left side of the body
      - With the weight of the body fully on the front leg
      - Exiting on this side and the right is kept tucked into the stomach area of the body

      - The racket is held with the dominant hand by the fist and the non-dominant hand by the neck of the racket
      - The racket head is slightly high and the hands are in front of the body
    - - For right-handers it would be left and for left-handers it would be right
      - With the arm stretched towards the ball and the weight of the body passes to the forward leg and opposite to the blow
    - - With the weight of the body fully forward on the opposite leg
      - The arm coming forward in the same direction as the ball
    - - Shoulder roll to the side of the foot strike
      - The racket is still held in the left hand for balance
      - And the fist of this must point to the opposite foot (that is, to the right)
      - We will keep the weight of the body on the left foot, although we have not moved the right foot yet.
- - - - Behind the baseline, with the left foot in front and the right foot behind
      - The arms are kept together, racket and ball, and the weight of the body is on the back foot.
      - We look at the place where we want to throw the ball.
    - - Body weight fully forward
      - We make the impact above the head, with the arm stretched towards the ball
      - On the left leg, and the left arm is collected towards the stomach
    - - The right foot comes forward, to start the recovery movement
      - Termination coming out of the blow on the left side of the body
      - The left arm gathered in the stomach
