Tim Henman

[lukman41985]

Tim Henman, in my opinion, is a great model to copy on the forehand. He's one of the few players in the stroke archieve with a classical grip structure, along with Pete, Federer, and Paradorn. However, I don't think Tim's stroke is nearly as complex as either Pete's or Federer's. In my mind, Tim's forehand basically combines the comparatively simplistic backswing of an Agassi with the classical Eastern grip. Definitely a good model for club players. What do you guys think?

That you have made a very sensible comment...

He hits with a fairly straight arm which reminds me of Federer. I guess that's a function of grip? It would make a lot of sense for higher balls hit with an Eastern grip.

I agree, I like studying simple swings.
