Best Inside Out Forehands

[SStrikerR]

I would link to some videos, but I'm a little too busy at the moment. Federer's inside out forehand at the us open 2010 was probably the best and cleanest shot I've ever seen. However, djokovic just now hit one that was pretty incredible as well, and followed up with another well struck one soon after. So it got me wondering if there were any other gems out there that maybe people haven't seen much of.

Fed's is great. Early Roddick and of course, Nadal also had/have great inside out forehands.
(Courier's was pretty good too-also the name of his company.Lol)

Fed and Nadal are definitely the best, and I think this is one forehand category where Nadal edges Fed slightly. That inside out crosscourt is legendary.

Courier by a long shot

Rafa Nadal.

I meant specific shots, not the players in general. We already know who hits them the best. But who knows, maybe 5 years ago gilles simon hit an amazing inside out forehand in an obscure tournament, and most of us have never seen it? Who knows?

Courier by a long shot

+1

think about what his shot would have been with a modern stick and poly.

Courier was hitting that shot with an PS 85". i think he used synthetic gut, not sure.

Federer without a doubt.

Prime Courier with a Pure Drive and full bed RPM would be sick

No. Just no. Fed at his prime could run around the BH and crush the ball like no other, hitting winners with ease. These days he misses tons of them, so only no Nadal's is better. Fed also has the best Inside In.

The shot the OP was referring to.

Nadal has a couple of inside-out FH winners with incredibly fast footwork to get around his BH side as well, that one with JMDP in W2011 as well as this one from the MC2013 final as well, not particularly a great shot, but brilliant footwork nonetheless.
