When I took a lesson with Scott Lee many years ago, he told me that his review of pro players showed that there was always a pause on the backstroke, even if it was momentary or extremely short.
I see a lot of amateur players that have a jerky transition between the backstroke and the stroke itself, especially on shots where they have to hit the ball hard, and I think the pause is very helpful to counteract that. Do you not see players with that jerky transition? If so, what do you recommend?
