just WTF are people who say "wonder how he get so much power blah blah blah" and shit smoking???? The answer is ridiculously OBVIOUS. Your body reacts naturally when your eyes see the ball and everybody hits the ball differently.

@Chambalameth I don't know a whole lot, but I believe the term torque means the length of the lever arm (your arm length) times the force (mass*acceleration). So when you are generating movement by turning your body, you are generating torque. Hence the torque your body generate is constant. The mass of your arm+racquet is constant too. Set T= r(arm length) * Set M * A is the equation then. Which means by shortening the arm length you gain acceleration.

your a beast

@ZachyT12345 this where he is trying to cork the ball like a bitch
-
@ZachyT12345 no. he doesnt. thats his approach shot.

tsonga has a big ass forehand

He uses a semi-western grip, he is a great ball striker yes but Federer is a machine to stay on top of the game for so many years with the best players in the world is simply not human, so in those terms I am sorry Tsonga is nothing compared to Federer, please do not imberase yourself like this again.
He keeps his elbow too close to his body.

That's his technique. There's nothing technically incorrect about doing that.

@txchou I don't know a lot about tennis, but if your elbow is tucked, your arm would have less torque, hence less racquet head speed? so to generate the same force he would have to turn his body more, and turning body = loss of control? Honestly though, does the elbow really make no difference in terms of the shot quality? Still, he hits well!

@Chambalameth You may be right about the torque, but all tennis professionals turn their body (called shoulder turn) during the forehand groundstroke - so it's a necessary part of the modern forehand even if it does or does not reduce control.
