Angela is a 4.0 USTA player with a one-handed tennis backhand. There are smaller two issues I'm seeing with her backhand that I think - once fixed - will make her backhand a lot more solid.
1. More load off the outside leg
2. Change the position of the foot to allow for better weight transfer going forward

Meike’s backhand uses lower body and leg power but the student seems not using much power from ground and lower body. I think better also coil further so makes more power. I think almost facing your back to opponent would be good cool for one handed

how important is it to maintain a straight arm at point of contact?? If my forearm muscle is really sore after playing, what did I do wrong on my 1hbh.

Difficult to say without seeing it. Could be that your contact point is slightly behind you or you might have the wrong grip.

02:08 Racquet face at contact is incorrect; racquet face too open. Error. 02:30 Racquet face at contact is correct. Level racquet face. You say the reason for the error is because of late contact. But it is not clear that the contact is all that late. The error might be primarily due to not closing the racquet face at the bottom of the swing. Closing the racquet face slightly and then swinging up to contact helps ensure a level racquet face at contact. Another factor to consider. Do you agree that closing the face about 45 degrees is important? What instruction do you give to ensure that the closing of the racquet face happens correctly?
