[하늘쌤테니스꿀팁] 제174편 포핸드 와이퍼 스윙 각도

Overview

The video explains how to perform the tennis “Shoo & Wiper” forehand wiper swing, focusing on the correct wiper angle and correcting a common misconception.

Common Misconception

Many players visualize the wiper motion like a windshield wiper moving straight left-to-right (as if snapping a window shut), and they apply that same idea to the Shoo & Wiper technique.

The instructor argues that the swing is not purely horizontal—it must move on a more diagonal path.

Key Coaching Points

• Out first, then up (after contact): The racket should move out first, and only after contact should the wiper action come up and move diagonally.

  • If you do the wiper too early or too quickly, the ball will go too far toward the middle.

• Timing affects control and power: Doing the wiper prematurely reduces the feeling of dragging/controlling the ball and also costs power.

• Angle depends on viewpoint: The correct angle becomes clearer when viewed from multiple perspectives (front vs. side vs. behind). The instructor repeatedly demonstrates that the wiper “comes over diagonally,” depending on how you’re looking at it.

• Attack the outside of the ball: The motion is described as attacking the outside of the ball with the hand—similar to how many US players are taught to hit by attacking the outside. This is why the resulting angle may differ from what viewers initially imagine.

Conclusion / Reminder

The video concludes with a warning not to get overly fixated on the technique details. If the wiper timing/angle is misunderstood, overall performance can suffer—such as less strength or getting “stuck.”

The instructor invites viewers to try it and comment.
