Not LeeD, but I cannot see a thing, apart from the vague outline of your hitting partner's "unorthodox" form. You need a much better camera setup and try not to film when there is a shadow across half of the court. It looks like you filmed this from half a mile away during an eclipse or something haha.

Consistent, not much power, short late prep and stroke, your 2hbh is more fundamentally sound than your jumping forehand, serve a work in progress, as is all our serves, need to find a better hitting partner, good for 3rd year player.

I'll post some clearer footage to appeal a second look from you. I thought my fh is better than my 2hbh lol.

Your forehand is hit harder than your 2hbh.
But you jump and lift on your forehand, a bad sign, and something I also do.
On 2hbh, you stay down and hit through the ball. It will be your more solid and dependable side.

I uploaded another video, can you take a look? many people have said i jumped on my fh so you nailed it. I changed my 2hbh from bent bent to straight bent since this September and it feels much better now.

Good you found a better opponent, it shows your true level of play.
Darn good backhand, solid, stable, great height control, reliable.
Didn't see your serves, as I got a call mid vid.
Your forehand looking better, you're staying down and hitting through the ball with good WW finish. Possibly a little loopy, not penetrating enough, but you keep it in.
Keep playing, don't think so much, you got the tools to progress.

Thanks, I'd like to hear your criticism more both you and topspin shot mentioned my late forehand so it must be true. can you guys elaborate a bit so i can reconstruct it?

It's more late prep and body moving backwards, together, that makes the forehand look awkward at times.
While we all move back for deep shots, we need to move back, SET, then hit the ball, rather than move back and hit in the same motion.
On your 2hbh, you set, stay down, backswing and hit the ball all stable and good posture. You do a little bit of flailing on your forehands.
The forehand could use some SET, fully turned, then hit, more than anything else, even if the ball lands deep in your court.
