Topspin pro and similar tools with a static ball are a disaster for developing biomechanics because you need to hit the ball very precisely and the player instinctively STOPS body rotation in order to get that precise hit.
So exactly opposite of what we want to achieve first to get the body rotation.
The amount of damage to tennis players around the world that topspin pro tool has done is immeasurable.
good to know. When i started looking at my technique about 18 months ago I bought one. I used it for a month or so, and it dramatically improved my backhand. After that i have not found it has improved my tennis. Funny that I have asked you at this time when i have just begun to look at body rotation.
