Bill,
Check out the couple of frames around contact in this Federer video. Some beautiful footage!:

Good one! I am telling you, even though I am getting old, and my eyes arent what they used to be, it is there. The wrist release exists and is in full bloom in modern tennis.

The hand slightly accelerating or pushing forward is what I am seeing. For different pros, it doesn't happen all the time, but it is there whether it moves a half and inch to the obvious.

Thanks for the post! That was excellent.

Don't thank me, thank...

Your welcome Bill! But don't thank me. I'm just using the great footage that John and his team have assembled to point out that you were correct with your earlier observations about the loose wrist/wrist release in the modern forehand. Really not much to thank me for. You, John, and the team at tennisplayer.net did all the work!!!
