Fish is in the Top 10 and his forehand is suspect though it has improved quite a bit over the years. Isner's ground game certainly leaves something to be desired.
Also important to keep in mind that Spadea has always had a super sized ego which, given his achievements on the tour, isn't entirely earned.

Hoosier the forehands of the 3 players you mention were far from weak or terrible. While they were not devastating weapons, they served their purpose, allowing each player to achieve excellent success. I actually like Fish's forehand, looks solid to me, though it can go off sometimes.
