John,
that article was really great. Answers a lot of questions I've had in trying to describe the differences in the classic one-hander with the shoulder turns of the Mauresmos, etc.
You need to get some overhead video that will show how little the head moves as the forward swing is made.
If your "gate" is actually swinging around the right shoulder, it should be pretty still. I think the actual fulcrum of this "lever system" is closer to the neck. By comparison, I think the axis of rotation and fulcrum for the classic square forehand is the left shoulder (and foot) whereas the open-forehand is the head of the left side of the neck. I'd love to see video of that.
See you next week at the USPTA in So Cal. I look forward to seeing your new videos.
all the best,
