instinctive automatic full speed ability to change directions and depth/angle, spin, speed of your ability to master your forehand.
The whole purpose of dynamically extending your non dom arm out to the side fence: coil the upper left shoulder towards the net, and the frame shoulder back towards the rear right side fence post.
The whole purpose of the atp male snap back forehand, is to create automatically felt snap back into the frame bevels, so your frame hand becomes heavy and totally predictable in its ability to snap forwards, and aim at a small part of the ball no matter how good the incoming shot is, so that the atp snap back is so fast, it can overcome very good shots and serves.
Those who learn to coil and snap back are every male pro player with the atp III snap back fh. Those guys like the German guy, Florian Meyer, or Chardy, or the other French guy, who hit wta flatter fhs, with large stiff take backs ala wta players, are few and far between. Ie, the female ***** squat shot, that so many wta players hit, and so few atp guys do.
The feeling of the snap back going all the way back, and very fluid and fast, so that the bevels become very heavily felt and pronounced on the frame hand, is the common key to every top atp snap back fh. A very fully backwards snap back is common. The wrist just explodes backwards, all the way it can go, and the explosion forwards becomes guaranteed. That heavy acceleration backwards drives the frame into the hand, so the hand feels the bevels on the frame. When you memorized the right angle and can create heavy acceleration and weight into the bevel, you have made the jump.
The extension of the frame hand, arm, into the shot, depends upon planting sideways, driving off the plant, and snapping back into it. And pulling the non dom arm back, so that the left hip opens up first, and all else lags/snap backs into the opening left hip. The longer extended contact with the shot, more outwards and forwards, makes the shot have more of everything: spin, depth, pace.
