Not wrist lag! Check that out in the myths in advanced tennis. Grip strength? As relaxed as possible without losing control of the handle. Visualize the actual path of the forward swing and especially the checkpoints for the extension--either with or without the wiper.

Hey, John, since you're written here about the emergence of the swinging volley on the ATP, highlighting Fed's, I thought I'd ask what your thoughts are about backhand, swinging volleys -- even from one-handers ! Here, if I can figure out the new embed stuff, are links to short videos of Grigor Dimitrov at the ATP World Cup executing one from deep, and a frame cap from that video. To my amateur eye Grigor's one-handed backhand, swinging volley looks unlike what I've seen. Hmm, embed codes don't seem to work the way they used to, I'll have to figure that out later, so meanwhile here are some links that I hope will work, and perhaps the content will be of interest to your readers.

Jim,
Great find! The swing looks like a backhand groundstroke--the racket doesn't know if the ball bounced...

Great stuff, Jim. And yes it is of interest to forum readers. The shot is highly unusual. Very, very rarely will a player do that from so far back off his backhand wing. He struck the ball at just the right height and hit it exquisitely with his weight moving forward. I am not a fan of the swing volley but in that circumstance it was ideal. He seized the moment, a conventional volley would never have delivered that kind of penetration, it has to be a swing volley. Dimitrov hit it to perfection. The kid's talented.Stotty

On the tennis serve, do you feel that the internal rotation of the shoulder is a "natural" or "learned" movement? Some "experts" feel it will occur naturally if the kinetic chain is done properly leading up to the shoulder movement. If it's a natural movement, why do so many of the top pro's do it incorrectly? Your thoughts, please.

Truly strange. Anyone else? Having Manish look into it. Kyle and I can both get in on all three browsers...Last edited by johnyandell; 02-26-2018, 09:52 AM.
