It appears his forehand is between semi-western and western, but definitely closer to semi-western.
-
Not bad
-
Novak has good leg movements
-
@washy91 it seems to differ, apparently he's been seen using western and semi-western clearly, I think it's semi-western, his grip size could be a little smaller making it appear western, possibly, but just my opinion
-
does anybody knows what grip novak uses in his forehand???
-
novak djokovic uses extreme semi-western at the 4th bevel but near the fifth which is western
-
@eddiek2206 he' using extreme semi-western not western look at his finger and the bevel and he turns his wrist after a forehand
-
his slow motion swing is faster than my normal swing :)

Hey Will, what I have been having trouble with is Forehands that I have to hit that are in 3/4 across the service line to the singles line. Because I have typically used an open stance and hit a WW forehand. But what I noticed Novak doing is using a topspin forehand when he is in the open stance, is this what I should do, or is it okay to use a WW forehand in the open stance?
looks like hes using a top spin grip with a windshield wiper forehand. am i right?

Yes he does on many forehands. Grips by themselves don't create topspin. What they do is affect how you swing at the tennis ball -- extreme grips generally result in a more vertical swing plane and more "brush" against the back of the ball. That's why extreme grips are said to produce more topspin than conservative grips.
Aside -- lets not get personal folks. Keep the discussion mature.
