@KGryllz Relax mate... He is a fan of Federer and he learned similar strokes nobody said he is Federer don't have a hissy fit over it. Everyone at some point learns or imitates strokes of their favorite players it's what makes the game fun and gives motivation for practice.
@firedancerart i try to hit my forehand like feds also, one thing that confuses me though is the action of the forearm and wrist right before, on and after contact, look at this vid in 0:15 seconds, see how dimitrov closes the face of the racquet prior contact then the wrist bends back and then the racquet face is close again, what works for me is when i finish my prep i lead with my shoulders and i close the face of the racquet and i get some good spin and power hitting through the ball
@riquered i feel the same way, my forehand i try to mimic federer, i use the kfactor tour, and it has paid off big time in my game, it forces me to watch the ball through contact (this also helps develops court position awareness, and soft focus on your opponent), take big cuts yet stay loose, really its a fantastic style. really frees up my game and keeps me aggressive. ill post a vid sometime of me playing.
Still lots of work to do with his lower body. He hits lots of balls off-balance, either not able to get to the spot in time, or can't effectively stop.

@firedancerart
Teaching Federer`s technique is neither like teaching history nor maths, mate. Not even close :)

@firedancerart this is a perfect example that feds forehand technique can be learned, i have no clue why coaches dont try to learn it and teach it.
