A New Teaching System: The "Imaginary" Modern Forehand

There is no need to discuss. This article says it all. As a teacher, I find some of the ideas John discusses are so pervasive and counterproductive ( I want to say stupid...) You can't lead a horse to water or an avid internet zealot to great technique but the fact that this site this resource exists helps me have faith in the possible.

I was very happy to hear you tack on that key little phrase, (approx) "if you don't already have it, it is worth taking that wrist/racquet back position." It drives me wild to hear a player complain that the racquet doesn't seem to automatically go into that desirable "lag" position "the way it's supposed to."
If the racquet is taken back with an extreme eastern or a semi-western grip, and if the racquet is initially taken back quite vertical, then the wrist will naturally already be quite fully bent back. As initial torso rotation begins the racquet arm therefore only needs to be externally rotated at the shoulder in order to achieve a "fully laid back" position, As players groove these bits they seem to happen "just from inertia."
It's impossible to learn something until you almost know it already.
I agree. With just the basics done right many pieces fall naturally into place.
