Pro today have elbow back but racquet head is behind the elbow.
Every male pro leads with the elbow. I've posted a lot of vids in this thread. They all lead w/ the elbow. I asked you to show me a vid of even one that doesnt.
If you hold the racquet w/ 2 arms in ready position and do a unit turn w/ both hands on the racquet how is it possible to not lead w/ the elbow?

Because when the elbow is in and forward, you lead the takeback with the hand.
