Thanks let us know if its possible for us non federer racquet head speed generators to still hit a forehand from this position using eastern grip. Thanks john.
Good choice for Simon since he camps way behind the baseline and retrieves. Sometimes the fake drop, slice approach works well at the club level. You get your opponent moving forward anticipating the drop then you float a deep slice to to a corner. Usually will get you an error or an easy volley.
@Angler180DC Hey Angler. Good feedback. Absolutely, tennis at all levels is so much about deception, false advertising. Any time you can make your opponent guess what you're about to do usually leads to good thing.
Mix in different shots at different times. Keep 'em guessing.
Very interesting for me as I've recently been trying to change my game from aggressive baseliner (I'm an athletic 45yo) to an all courter. Can I ask which grip you recommend for the forehand dropper, especailly if you're preparing initially for a forehand - continental or keep your forehand grip?
@fayskelley Hi Fay. Glad you like these examples. Work on the drop shot. You'll eventually get it, and once you do, you'll have much more shot variety to keep your opponents guessing.
Great!. Giraldo is my fav player and he plays clever tennis.

@jmetyk Hi John. Are you talking about the drop shot? If so, I prefer the continental grip on the drop shot.

@osteouk I prefer the continental because I can play different shots with that grip.
I could "show" a dropper and then quickly play a hard slice hoping my opponent has bitten on the dropper.
The eastern forehand grip in that situation just isn't as versatile.

I love this format as well. Love what you have to say about Pro samples. You always pick an excellent example!
Well ... I don't have a great drop shot on FH (BH much better). What about hitting to the service line so that the ball is out of reach? thanx

@karv22 Glad to read that you like this tennis instructional format.
We have to be careful to make sure that whatever we're trying to copy from the pros is actually something we can do.
Some of their stuff? No way!
