You can'n say modern forehand man. It depends of a style of a player. Just look the pros, no one has the same forehands.

@care292Didn't say this is how everybody does it. Modern in the context that its not turn sideways, racket back, hit and follow-thru to your target. That's what the pro's don't do. Its just the basic foundation of the stroke and evrybody has their own style. Thanks for the comment....John

I like your comment, " arm does nothing until impact...body turns only..... and then arm pulls across"...very good. I use that in my next practice session.

[carrizosatennisinstr]

@Chipinjack Thanks, I would say arm does nothing until just before contact, see your racket close to the ball then push and pull across. Thanks for the comment. John

Hey thank god I didn't buy that cassette player and settled on an 8 track. Same thing I try to get across to some of my students that swing and commit from the back of a huge back swing about finding it and finishing. if you don't square up the racket on the back of the ball it aint happening. I used a little different language but I actually like yours better. Great lessons you've posted on you tube

@slimpickinses Thanks for the comment. Everybody is different so you need about 20 ways to say the same thing. I'm going to use " if you don't square up the racket on the back of the ball it ain't happening" today, thanks.John

@carrizosatennisinstr ....I've tried your advise but I'm having difficulty keeping my eyes on the ball. As soon as I rotate my hips (body)....my eyes pan forward and I make poor contact with the COP. This is probably an ingrained habit that I learned from using my arm only .....instead of hips first and lagging the arm into the hit.
