Video Analysis: Forehand

Quick notes:

• Split step: my base of support is one shoulder width, his twice that.
• His back foot is further out to the side, so he's more balanced, I'm leaning at 45 degrees to the baseline.
• On the take-back, his shoulders are turned completely sideways.
  
• His left arm is way out to the side, straight, at shoulder height (this is for a high ball, for a lower ball it's still straight, but pointing slightly down). My arm is already bent, elbow at chest height.
• Mid-way through the forward movement, his torso is straight. Mine is bent at the waist, leaning forward. His head is above the line between two feet, mine a foot forward. He's balanced.
• At the point of contact, his shoulders and chest are almost square to the point of contact. Both arms aligned symmetrically around the imaginary line coming out of the chest. My shoulders are turned way out, 45 degrees toward the other side fence.
• The first moment after the hit, his shoulders are square to the net, head still turned towards the point of contact. Elbow in front of the chest. The left hand catches the racquet in front of the left shoulder.
• Only after this the shoulders rotate and end up sideways to the net, while his face is towards the net.
• Summary: lower and wider base, arm straight and pointing to the side fence, then moving out bending at the elbow, matching the racquet arm at the contact point.
