In this in-depth analysis, I break down the deep forehand off the back wall by comparing the techniques of both myself and one of my students. While there are many similarities, diving deeper reveals subtle differences that can significantly impact the shot's effectiveness and consistency.

🎯 Main Takeaways from a Coaching Perspective:

🦶 Footwork Fundamentals: Proper footwork is essential. The "left-right" combination is highlighted, emphasising the importance of a stable base. Differences in footwork can affect the exit movement after the shot.

🔄 Swing Mechanics: The video introduces the "one-two-three" part of the swing. This systematic approach ensures a consistent and effective shot. The importance of the racket's angle and position during the swing is also discussed.

📐 Racket Angle: A closer look reveals differences in the racket's angle during the setup. A 45-degree angle is recommended for optimal results.

👁 Contact Point: The point of contact with the ball is crucial. Making contact slightly ahead and in line with the front foot can lead to a more effective shot, while a late contact, towards the back foot, might require a compensatory wrist movement.

🚀 Follow Through: The direction of the follow-through can dictate the ball's trajectory. An upward and straight follow-through is preferred over one that wraps under the arm.

🌟 Consistency is Key: The ultimate goal is to achieve a shot that consistently travels up and down the sidewall without clipping.

🔍 Granular Observations: The video emphasises the importance of small, granular adjustments. Even minor changes in footwork, racket angle, or swing mechanics can lead to significant improvements in shot quality.
