LEGS - - - Do they contribute to making topspin?
89419
This question actually has two answers based on your point of view.  1. Legs do contribute to making topspin by allowing me to get in optimal hitting position.  This means I am the right distance from the ball and can generate more leverage and spin on the stroke.  Just getting down to the ball makes it easier to create topspin.  2. Do the legs actually help me create more racket head speed through the stroke resulting in more revolutions, not really...maybe indirectly.  There is no direct evidence that a player with stronger legs can generate more topspin than someone with an average build.  So essentially my answer comes down to a matter of perspective.

Yes.I wonder about guys legs.Alot of them are well built in the upper body, but the pants come off, and they have chicken legs.Such a shame.A guy needs to have some lower body strength to keep up with me!

you need to be flexible, and have good leg strength. most fig. skaters have lots of muscle in their legs.

Yep! Pinkruth is right!! Pins = legs. "Do it yourself!"

When using a forehand for topspin get above the ball a little more and angle your raquet slightly downward, swipe towards the net in a slightly down ward angle (think shoulder of your raquet hand to elbow of your free hand). Don't over angle your raquet or you could send the ball strait into the net. The key is getting above the ball just right, it will take some practice.\n        \nFor backspin reverse the effect, get under the ball a little more and angle the raquet upward, this time you may want to change your swipe from shoulder to elbow to elbow to shoulder.\n\n   Backhand is basically the same thing but with two hands. The only difference is you need to catch the ball with a sort of arch swing, this will increase your chances of nailing the ball into the opposite front box.\n\n    This takes practice, but keep trying, and don't lose hope if it doesn't work for you at first. Every player is slightly different when it comes to creating the right amout of spin in any direction. In good time, your opponent won't know what hit them. Good luck, and keep on playing!!!

Sorry, but no. It will increase your leg power. In basketball, that will probably translate to better stability when it comes to boxing out for a rebound and may even give you slightly better footwork overall. To increase your vertical leap, the proven technique is to try doing depth jumps or jumping down from a height. Or even any other exercise that involves isolating your calf muscles can help even slightly.

Yes sort of.. They're high tops and they stablize your\nankle when you come off a jump. Don't play in low cut shoes\nor you risk messing up your ankles.

In High sped you should use your body balance together wih your legs. While planning, if you wan o go upwind, back leg sraigh, front knee bent and body weight forwar; whereas for downwind, body wheight back, bent rear knee and straight front leg

your calves, quads, glutes and sometimes ur core for balance.

top spin is the exact opp of reverse spin.\nby moving your racquet slightly upwards while hitting the ball, the top spin can be generated. it is an excellent practice especially at competitive levels. if u r a beginner and u can pull off controlled top-spin, i'd say u r ver talentd... keep it up!

I did something similar to that. make sure you stretch those muscles before your next practice like mad, and once you play more you'll be less prone to hurting it. Also, you may want to modify your serving technique. If you're bending too much to one side or the other, it can really hurt you. Ask your coach about it.

More often than not it's the instability of one of the two (or both) meniscus.  Try strengthening all the muscles that are in your knee area for added support .....quads especially (try minisquats or resisted leg presses.)  Also, if your hips/knees/ankles aren't in the correct alignment, certain structures in the joint can "shift"...high heels are a no no, try something with just a mild arch support.

The answer is probably not.  While a "lesser" golf ball might not help you control spin better, it won't otherwise harm your golf game.  At this stage, make sure you focus on the mechanics of the swing rather than equipment.  Growing up, I always used to think that having the top of the line equipment would make a difference but it really didn't.  It makes a difference as one gets better because such skilled golfers know their tendencies and what void they need to fill if any.  Often times, a skilled golfer will go for a certain golf ball or equipment because it helps them to control their swing, shot shape, distance, spin, and so forth.  While a top of the line golf ball might make you feel good and produce a few more yards or better spin, the state of your game ultimately depends on your swing.

mostly the legs and arms. the legs to run up and down the court. arm to throw the ball

when you lift your heels off the ground you can feel your calve muscles flex, however when you bend your knees and stand up you will notice that your quadricep (top of thigh) and gluteous maximus (butt) flex especially when you have some weight on your shoulders.  It is a combination of leg muscles that used when jumping.  Historically it has been the calve muscle that has been emphasized (jump soles, jump roping) but personally I think the other muscles are overlooked.  At one point in my life I rode a bike every day for over a year (not to increase my vetical) my glut grew (I now have stretch marks on both behinds) and I began dunking in basketball viciously (two hands behind head).  I'm 6'1" and white but could always jump decently.

Well i play varsity basketball and am looking at signing with several schools so here is my advise. First of all contary to poplar belief jumping doesn't come from the calves as much as it does the upper thighs! Don't believe me? try this stand with your feet together and jump straight up with out bending your knees at all. Then try bending your knees and jumping notice the difference? Any ways the best way to add vertical is to do leg squats or just do a lot of jumping . You should try jumping up on to and off of a big box it worked for me. I'm only 6'2 and I can dunk with two hands and even three-sixty at times. Good Luck.

go to tumbling classes!!!!  I do not know how much I can stress that.  If you can't really tumble or look as if you have no potential in tumbling, you won't have a good shot making the team.  Also work on jumps, this means stretching and working out your legs for more power.  Email me if you have more questions, and I can give you some advice.
