Well, no Federer isn't a liar. The ex-challenger player I mentioned is a liar. And when I figured that out, he didn't like it I knew he was wrong

Yes.... right leg only but you can shift your weight around back foreward side to side.....but on returns notice that fed is using his left leg so federer is a liar

An interesting feature to Federer's backhand was that back then, he never fell to the side with the left leg. An ex-challenger player here in San Bernardino told me it was because Fed wanted to keep the core stable and hit balanced from the hip and abs instead of flail with the legs. So he said you should be able to hit only on the right leg the whole time. What do you think of his idea, Coach V?

Ah, the carioca step.  Well, I think it's best used for slice approach shots, because it keeps the hips and shoulders level, which is important for that shot. But when he does it, his hip opens skywards and his balance falls backwards. I thought he might trip. lol Anyways, the core wobbles backwards in that one.

He's not kneeling, and holding the power along the core line.

thats a very interesting statement....i will think about it.

6 29...i told him to do that....its a bowling technique that allows you to swing at full speed without opening up... also known as the karaokie step.... its technically used for approach shots for single handed back hands, but should be used as an adjustment step so the situation will be different for every player.

Needs to stay closed longer and not pull off his front leg too early. He's gonna get in trouble when he needs power or when he's on the run. Balance is off, not into the ball enough.

6:29 He even slides his back foot behind the front foot and crosses them together. Gonna fall down that way. He's not kneeling, and holding the power along the core line.

If he's gonna go Fed route, even look at Amir Delic's backhand. I saw his at Indian Wells and was a great Fed copy backhand.
