  • that surface must be relly fast

    

  • also check out virtualtennisacademy. com the guy who runs it is a professional tour coach who teaches atp and wta tour

  • lol.... okie

  • At which point are you discussing the racquet angle?

  • It's better to copy Federer's strokes - everyone has slightly different nuances in timing and stroke production. Federer's preparation and downswing through to contact is what we should be copying.

  • Good point!

    (although the wrist is kept firm, not loose)

  • It's not wrist - in tennis it's pronation of the forearm. Baseball is not tennis - why mention it? Many beginners in tennis use the wrist incorrectly when swinging a racquet - that's why good coaches will look out for this and use corrective teaching. The principle of the demonstrated forehand is not only for recreational players - why should it be?

  • The stroke being demonstrated is not a windshield forehand - it has a conventional follow through across the shoulder. The windshield wiper forehand is different in that the racquet head dips towards the ground on follow through - the two strokes are completely different. You can study their analysis on FYB. It is NOT better to know a flat forehand - why spend time learning a low percentage shot when it is more constructive and worthwhile learning a high percentage and more reliable shot!

  • This guy knows what he's talking about - he shows how to pronate the forearm and doesn't advocate use of the wrist - very good teaching points, especially at beginner level. One of the better instructional tennis videos on Youtube.

  • flat? modern (windshield) forehand is almost never flat ... besides, he's teaching a semi western, and it's not flat at all
