Fed forehand is a little weird - because no one really hits with that eastern grip.. Novak forehand is more approachable IMHO.. The basic ideas of the "Macci" forehand which is kinda sorta Fedesque is pretty approachable IMHO. Most kids growing up today learn something along these lines if they have a decent coach..
Basically outside setup - relaxed wrist - loop through PTD. To me the major difference is that the racquet goes more face down in the drop - and not on side.. as well as the outside setup..
Going back to sports analogies - again - lots of guys can kind of hit like this. Just like lots of HS QBs kinda sorta throw like Tom Brady. They aren't as accurate. They break down more. etc But the basic throwing motion is very similiar. Likewise amateur players can hit forehands this 'style'
Some quirks of this I have learned from my coach. Elevate the rear elbow (aka tilt the racquet forward some) this makes it easier to stay "outside" and not revert to "inside".
Another thing is that unlike Macci's demonstration - in the real world you simply pass through PTD - as you want to let gravity help you. It's almost like an underhand throw of sorts.. Sure you can hit some starting out with PTD - but its too segemented - you need to smooth it all out again.
A third tip I learned was that you should time your hip drive after racquet has really fallen below the ball (as part of your loop).. Too early can be bad or even worse then not enough..

. I mean, if you are actually as qualified as you claim to be why can't I seem to find any proof of it?
