What Is The Definition Of Buggy Whip In Tennis?
1. The buggy whip is a forehand shot in which the racket is brought up over the head after hitting the ball instead of across the body or over the shoulder. The higher follow-through helps to put more spin and speed on the ball. Using a buggy whip shot can allow players to surprise their opponents with an unexpected shot; it looks like a traditional forehand until the follow-through, so the ball gets a different spin and trajectory than anticipated. For example, a player might use a buggy whip shot to play the ball straight down the line rather than crosscourt.
Although the buggy whip can be used intentionally as a strategic move, it may also happen naturally when players are late hitting a shot or struggling to reach the ball in time and due to the positioning of their body, can’t complete a normal follow-through.
