Captain!
Good questions.
The upright posture Dan McCain discusses in his articles is key and I do plan to address it. The players sometimes go out of balance at the start of motion to the ball. Going to address that in detail.
As for the head...Contrary to what is assumed the head only get's sideways a fraction of a second before the hit--and does tend to stay that way for a slightly longer fraction after the hit--see the Fed animation in Scott's article. Plan to devote an entire segment in the series to that one...

Well, that was a solid summary. It's interesting, the way this video fits in with "Your forehand and the Modern Forehand" and "Building the Modern Forehand." This new video left me with the feeling that it would serve as a good warm-up or intro to the detail-laden articles in "Building the Modern Forehand." From experience I can say it's easy to get lost in obsession with a detail. Effective overviews are valuable.
At the moment I'm into what's happening in the very instant before contact, the transition, turning the wiper on, if you will. I'll stay tuned.

In the link, aren't those windshield wiper finishes, with the racquet head finishing pointing to the left? I was looking for the finish with the racquet more on edge that John Yandell advocates for club level players, the idea being to get better extension.

How about this for the a simple and straightforward forehand finish...a simple and straightforward shot from start to finish, actually.

Sounds good, John. Looking forward to it. I'm hoping you will have suggested models for different grips. I usually use a 3-3.
Stotty, thanks for linking the Jimmy Connors forehand. That's another forehand that would be 'good enough for me.'
Interesting how long his racquet face stays open. What do you think about that? Is it related to hitting a very flat forehand?
