<p>That is correct Tim. On my site. I look forward to our next dialogue. I've gotta run now. Have a great day and enjoy this beautiful weather today!! And yea - I meant Fed's forehand (senior moment : ) I'll look forward to your thoughts on # 3. But I know already that you've got a better handle on things then most. You should probably teach more tennis. They need you out there.</p>

<p>Ah, I haven't mentioned the Fed backhand. I think there is a basic flaw to it and it has to do with swing plane angle and his low takeback.</p>

<p>I live in San Bernardino, but I come out to Los Angeles every weekend. I teach tennis every now and then, but I experiment a great deal. I have a few geometric diagrams to the Fed forehand, the 2005 version and the current version. It explains why he changed it to what it is now, for more accuracy.</p>

<p>Tim, It's nice to hear your thoughts. Keep em coming. Where do you live, teach? I do believe you will appreciate (more than most) Part 3 of this series GOOD to GREAT. I'll look forward to your thoughts on that one as well. BTW, did you get a chance to read the first installment of this series? If not I can direct you to it.</p>

<p>I am looking at your Federer Forehand Revealed section and I see how you related the sin wave with the forty five degree angle in your youtube video. I see Warren and Steven doing a demo. They are doing a double bend version, which still works, concave to convex.</p>
<p>But Federer goes a little more open to a single bend. Fed's takeback is different, less open face at the beginning and has a different followthrough. There is a reason for this as well, and this is where the figure 8 takes a…</p>

<p>But Federer goes a little more open to a single bend. Fed's takeback is different, less open face at the beginning and has a different followthrough. There is a reason for this as well, and this is where the figure 8 takes a distinctive different shape unique to Federer.

<p>Tennis has as much to do with varying geometric relationships as well as physics. I would say Laver took the traditional game to its limits, then Borg revolutionized it.</p>
<p>Well, then I've read Laver did copy Hoad's game. And we have to wonder if Borg developed his forehand on his own, although he has said he developed his backhand from hockey. In any case, there is a solid figure eight motion to both his forehand and backhand.</p>

<p>Tim, very astute!! I always say Borg was the first player with the modern game. You are right on the money! Thank you.</p>
