My slow-motion running reverse forehand [VIDEO]

Ive long been practicing the reserve forehand. I managed to get one on video during my hitting session a few days ago. Using the Dunlop Bio 100, not my main stick so it definitely could have been better.
I slowed down the footage for the full experience, watch in 1080p for the full effect :)

Please enjoy :)
I will upload more clips in the future:smile:

way to hustle!

I thought it looked a bit odd at first glance, then noticed you never get the racket face below the contact point. Normally on the Rev Fh, you get it well below the contact pt for a steep, low to high swing which creates the rev motion. Your version is a bit different :)

It may only be reversing there as your body lowers, coming down from your jump.

btw, you might want to work on getting the hitting arm straight earlier on the 1 handed backhand.
cheers!

thank you sir, it twas a very intense sesh. :twisted:

yes i never got it under the contact point. its jus cuz i hold the racket different than rafa, also i was already coming up in the air from my hop.
my version varies shot to shot, this one was unique & stood out to me. jus wish i had the camera at a better angle..:?

& thank for the the suggestion, ill give it a go

I cant tell much about the reverse, but the first bh looks a recipe for tennis elbow from what I can see, maybe you were just out of position a little when you hit it, and its not how you hit your regular bh
