I am thinking maybe semi western with left hand and eastern with his right. When my students have their forehand in semi and left close or in semi nobody looks quite comfortable.

John, how about an article on how to combat the muscle memory resulting from executing a stroke in a particular fashion? Sometimes making a change to a particular stroke can be very difficult. You think you have changed something, then look at the video you took and you made very little change. Or did you do one and have I missed it?

Bobby,
Yeah the other hand... I agree looks easternish 3/3 but with the fingers bunched. Make sense he would want that hand just set in the right grip. Obviously it's just gonna drop off if he goes forehand side.
See any movement or adjustment to the left hand in the motion?Last edited by johnyandell; 04-27-2016, 08:22 PM.

pretty damn athletic. looks good! definitely a wta style backswing. The main thing I take from it is basic technique is solid and she looks like she is loving the game--and playing on grass! Now Rick Macci and Brian Gordon would be all over you about that backswing.

bowt,
great question. since I am not a developmental coach and haven't seen hundreds of kids I am not absolutely sure. I have seen dozens of kids at Macci's who have some version of that backswing at early ages. Brian Gordon feels strongly it is the way to go... other coaches say yeah but the kids lose velocity...
It doesn't hurt to experiment. I have had good luck going back to some of my old girls' high school team players and compacting backswings... check out the current and the previous articles in my forehand series--or revisit Brian and Rick...
