Thank you so much for your encouraging words and support!

Yes, actually I think you articulated this way better than I did. Appreciate that. Might have to have you help me on my next video. thanks!!

Djokovic is likely right eye dominant, which means he cannot see a forehand ball until it is further back, and Alcaraz is likely left eye dominant, so he has to hit it out in front before it gets past his left eye. Good Coaches teach this way based on eye dominance, which is why it’s important to find out which eye is dominant before trying to copy your favorite player’s strokes. They are different for a few reasons.

Thank you for watching and so glad they have been helpful!

It's adjustable depending on the shot. If you need more penetration from behind the baseline you swing is going to be more linear and if you need more topspin your swing will be more vertical causing more of that windshield wiper action after contact.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll put that on my to do list because I want to make sure it's easier to find what you looking for on my channel. Thanks for your support

The old version of coaches eye.

I personally don't think so. It's a technical preference that some players develop during the developmental stage tennis.

I totally agree with your comment on the top spin RPMs. What I was trying to articulate @twinwankel did better then I did. Novak's ability to use for hand in redirect players Power is phenomenal. He doesn't create same level of racquet speed like Alcaraz. Which means he wouldn't have a higher number of topspin RPMs but would have a steeper swing path due to bent arm and redirecting the ball. But again like I said in the video this is one many situation's players could find themselves and must adjust to for different balls to stay consistent in difference situations. Really appreciate your feedback. Big Thanks

@@TotalTennisDomination it is actually a pretty significant difference in topspin so I still think you are seeing the meaningless follow through rather than the swing path just before contact. It is the swing path into contact relative to the racquet face angle that creates the topspin. I don’t think these clips are representative as Carlos tends to “loop” his forehand more often than Djokovic even though he does flatten it out pretty spectacularly at times. In general, Djokovic hits a flatter forehand than Alcaraz and therefore tends to have a flatter swing regardless of the follow through.

First of all things for watching the channel. Second of all I don't necessarily think players have to choose a camp. The main principle is a linear swing create penetration add a porch swing create a degree of top spin. When we look at the pros at the highest level you're going to see more of a linear swing from all of them for the typical type of ball they hit which is only 3 to 5 feet over the net versus most recreational players. In my mind understanding that then there's a choice of what you're going to use to create the penetration and vertical swing. This can be done using internal and external show the rotation or simply lifting your shoulder or combination of both. To make it clear I think we both agree that there is a linear swing with slight vertical motion to create top spin. What part of your body feels comfortable doing it is for the individual player to decide. This is what makes tennis so wonderful is because there's no one exact way to hit the ball and we all choose what feels comfortable for us personally. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@TotalTennisDomination Thank you for the insightful reply. Again, I love the channel and it's thrilling to get a reply. If we are to assume that Djokovic/Alcaraz are the "ideal", would it be fair to say that they are windshield wipers? Obviously the rec level player doesn't have timing/strength/training/flexibilty to copy this. By hitting up on the ball with the face parallel to the net, is this creating sheer forces that spin the ball? Is this a "rec level cheat code" to generate the topspin without having to deal with the internal / external rotation of the windshield wiper school of thought? Many thanks.

I agree and keep that in mind for the future. Thanks

Truth. These guys adjust their swing to fit the circumstance. Although on average, due to their individual approaches to the game, the looks that were chosen for comparison can be considered to be relatively accurate. Alcarez more flat and Dj a bit more loopy.
