forgot to put in the op, i have a very hard time trying to emulate Fed's FH, although, i have tried to copy the Gasquet BH and it worked very well, but i want to see if there are any other good examples, anyway, my backswing is more like gonzo's w/o the skill or speed. _________________ A fan of "that French backhand dude"

Ljubicic is another with a good 1H BH. For forehands there's Safin or Ferrero. Roddick also has a good forehand, as does Blake. _________________

I don't think Roddicks forehand is the best to copy, because it isn't as technically sound as like Federer's or Safin's. But it's still a good forehand. But if you could it would be a good advantage to copy Aggasi's taking the ball of the rise. It's would more diffcult then other forehands, though _________________
For the forehand, try to copy Federer's. The backswing is short, and it's basically perfect. Andre's forehand requires a really strong core, so it's not ideal to copy his. Copy Federer's.
For the backhand, I would suggest Gasquet and Federer, because they're so fluid. If you want a really simple one, just look at Sampras's. Take a look at that 1999 WC highlights I posted... his backhand was not a weaknesses. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself

I would suggest Gasquets backhand over Federer's, there is not much special to Federer's other than it looks good, it is more a compliment to his forehand than anything else. It is not a truly deadly shot on it's own.
Sampras might also be a good choice on the forehand side. _________________
No, I think Sampras's forehand not really modern. Eastern grip, hits a bit late, follow's through over the head... totally out of date... but it worked. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself

With all do respect PSALT isn't that the whole point of this topic? I mean sure it may not be as good as Gasuet but it looks good.

no, the point of this topic is to give examples of effective strokes that one could model their game after. when it comes to tennis, looks are great but hardly the most important thing. Gasquet has BH looks just as good as Federer's, but more importantly is is a better shot all-around. this is not figure skating, looks are not the most important thing. _________________

Eastern grips and following through over the head are still fine to do, hitting it late isn't great, but is should be fine. It's a simple and effective shot, not the best looking, but strokes like that are the easiest for the normal club player to use. _________________
Yes, I do see a lot of club players doing similar stuff like that. A lot of them do many slices on the forehand too.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican Tennis Wallpapers, presented by leftys_rock and myself
forgot to make it a little more precise, i have a SW grip on my FH and an eastern BH grip _________________ A fan of "that French backhand dude"

Then, definitely Federer on the forehand... backhand would be Federer too then. Gasquet and Justine are both SW. But, remember, when you imitate a player's strokes, you don't imitate it because it's effective, but because it's technically sound.
