Tennis Lesson: Forehand Step 3 - Swing to Contact

http://www.fuzzyyellowballs.com/improve-your-forehand-in-45-minutes/

The third step of the forehand is the forward swing to contact. When learning how to hit a forehand, it's very important to keep things simple and that's what we've tried to do in this video. From the completion of your preparation, the tennis racket drops down and swings forward. At the same time, push off your back foot and rotate your body back toward the net.

Will, how important is it to bend at the knees and at point of contact be in the process of straightening your legs up ?? I thought that this would contribute to the low to high brushing motion and impart additional topspin.

Highly dependent on the situation. For low balls you'll bend down more. On high balls your legs will be pretty straight. Generally speaking, you don't want to rely on your legs to supply the low-to-high motion of the racket. Swing path does that.

With a semi-western grip, do you still hit the forehand with your elbow straight?
