Does anybody have any good videos on Youtube or something comparable of people waiting for the ball. What I mean is, sometimes, especially on my forehand, I'm late. My coach is working with me on getting the racket back, and waiting for a split second before one starts the "loop." My strokes are pretty grooved, and it's not a huge problem, but something that if improved will make me better. I'm seem to understand it much better on the backhand as opposed to the forehand. Anyway, any vids, especially slow motion? Any tips?

Yeah, I've seen that video before. Thanks, but I think I want something that shows a more "zoomed out" view so I can see the footwork etc...

Thanks, any specifically forehands? Fed is the only one you can really see, and he hits a ton of backhands.

I've seen quite a few tennis vids on Youtube, and haven't really seen what I'm looking for. I just wish there was something out there.

I guess you want something like these:

Thanks, nice videos. I always think the back swing can be slow down to "wait for the ball". I guess I am correct.
