uses the traditional FH swing vs. the modern FH swing...
Traditional - you start your motion anchored on your left foot, in a
relatively closed stance, and you open up after contact, your movement is
more linear.
Modern - you start your kinetic chain anchored on your RIGHT foot, in a
relatively open stance, your movement is more circular.
My stance is pretty traditional, but that's more or less because I was
trained to do i | s****t
发帖数: 17096 | 2 close stand generates greater power and better precision for me
I feel very comfortable doing close while making FH down the line shots
but it does not work for me when I hit FH crosscourt
So I would adjust to more open as long as when I am running or making
crosscourt
and as time goes and as matches gets more intense
I think one gets less and less time to perform close stand if we are not
taught to do so
's no such thing as a modern swing...). The modern motion looks interesting
, anyone

发帖数: 1632 | 3 For me, both down the line and x-court shots I start with a closed stance.
For x-court, at the last moment I will open up a bit, but the preparation is
all the same, and I still pivot from my left foot regardless of whether i'm
going down the line or x-court. So my weight distribution is heavy on the
left foot.
For a modern FH style, the weight distribution is heavy on the right foot,
you are basically leaning INTO your swing and push with your right foot to
start the power generation. I trie

发帖数: 2433 | 4 Everybody is different and they all have unique moves. I don't think it's
helpful to discuss details of where the feet, arm, and legs are and how they
move. In fact, I think this kind of details do more misleading than help.
After all, a stroke is better demonstrated in person, or video, than in
words.
If I have to distinguish tradition Forehand (TFH) and modern Forehand (MFH),
I'd like to address it at game style level. Briefly speaking, TFH is for
the flatter, lower bounced baseline rallies wi | Y**s
发帖数: 1632 | 5 There's nothing misleading about trying to get ppl to discuss what kind of
motion they prefer to use in their game, and trying to understand their
rationale. As I grew up playing tennis when the modern motion did not even
exist, I'm just trying to understand other ppl's learning experience when
they started working on their forehand...
I do not agree at all with the assumption thou, that it is a "progression",
from the flatter yet compact traditional FH, to the spinnier and more
complex (IMO) m | Y**s
发帖数: 1632 | 6 Most pros today are still using old tennis rackets paintjobed to resemble
whatever latest model their sponsor is trying to sell to their viewers.
Federer for the longest time used the PS 6.0 85 - made famous by Sampras.
He later switched to a 90" model and eventually Wilson adopted the K90 based
on his specs -- which is about as traditional as you can get. This is
repeated with other pros. It's also very well documented that Joker's
racket is actually a *HEAD* frame with a Wilson paintjob (W | K****D
发帖数: 30533 | 7 By "ball speed" I mean the speed the ball travels in the air, or the
"106mph" etc as shown in the electronic board on the courts, or the
"180km/h" record set by Gonzales mentioned in one of your previous
post.
My point of ball is faster now can be seen by comparing the following
2 videos. 1981 ATP Masters Cup vs 2005 ATP Masters Cup.
Borg vs. Lendl
Nalbandian vs. Federer
Again, my opinion is that the popularity of modern forehand is due to
the fact that players have little time to hit the ball w
