My Forehands

This is my forehand. Probably my best shot. I use a normal semi-western grip (3,5 - 4) on most of my forehands that allows me to hit the ball flat and with topspin.I have a very simple unit turn with an unusual high position of my right hand and racquet on the ready position. I have a short swing, with the racquet head kept in a vertical position for a long time until it accelerates on the forward swing. I prefer to hit the balls at chest or shoulder height so I can hit it flat. I rather not let the ball drop after the bounce and if it happens then my right hand has to drop and my racquet head closes and faces the ground.
