This guy is textbook. I love the extreme laid back wrist at the slot position followed by his whipping of the racket head just prior to striking the ball.
what are your thoughts about the idea that the racket should be facing away from the net at the backswing (like Thiem and Wawrinka) vs more parallel to the ground like Dimitrov and Federer?
The more you twist your wrist the more spin you get. Federer twists his wrist parallel to the ground, Thiem twists it more; your racquet will determine which technique is more optimized
Don't worry about it. Everybody has small differences on their strokes. Just make sure your strings are slightly closed as you attack the ball and make sure your elbow is getting through the court and out to the net, and at least shoulder height on the finish. Dimitrov is textbook on this and it's why it looks so effortless. If you want more spin, just get a bit more height on your elbow as you follow through, but keep the stroke simple and easily repeatable
Every player you mentioned uses the same fundamentals: early preparation, long follow-through, etc. It\s just that Dimitrov and Fed use more old-school eastern grips, compared to thiem and wawrinka who have semi-western and western grips. The grip difference is what creates the slightly different look. The Western grip of wawrinka closes the racket face on the back-swing more than an eastern grip would.
Lol I wish u all actually had 20/20 or better yet had a good understanding of anything past basic technical shit. Grigor will hit anything from a full western to continental . Also takes his racket back with it facing the side, down, or even the back curtain depending on height and acceleration speed. I don’t mean to come off as rude but it just bothers me when I see people arguing and neither has proper understanding of the topic.
@@commondirtbagz7130 his forehand is beautifully struck, studied by almost all, and he doesn't improve much on the backhand to compliment his forehand.
Luke Killemall what? Why did you switch to a different account. Also, his forehand being better than his backhand isn’t being a victim of his forehand. If anything it’s being victim to your backhand. Use YOUR brain. Notice how I didn’t say “use brain” like a simpleton.
Its not that good his wrist is m9v8ng too much because of his bad grip but you cant change that now ir should have been taught the right way from the begining.
@@danieljohnson7746 well you can see that his wrist is making an almost 360 degrees before it hits the ball. Compare it to a Nadal for example his wrist certainely stays at the same angle with his arm and its the arm that moves.
And interestingly enough its actually the reverse of the backhand simlly because in the forehand when preparing the raquet goes up and forms a 90 degrees angle with the ground.
Does Dimitrov have one of the best forehands on tour?
I would say one of the prettiest, not one of the best, beauty not always matches with quality and effectiveness
Nope, Federer is at the top
His forehand is p much Federer copy paste
Around top
you think?

I think that his forehand is the most beautiful forehand in the world
how about fed?
@@BullyGarfield. feds of course ..its more natural and fluid ...dimitrovs is very similar though
This is _The Federer-Dimitrov forehand_ in scientific world
Dayday and Daytri from RacquetFlex at 2:05!
His swing path is surprisingly similar to Federer’s
textbook forehand👍

Different grips. Stan and Dom use semiwestern

Shameful ad settings.
Dimitrof studied and copied Federer exact forehand . Smart move . It’s like how Kobe copied all of Jordan’s moves
didnt help him win any slams tho
Pretty sure Gregor uses a semi Western forehand
Are you blind? I'm pretty sure that's an extreme western grip.
He uses an eastern forehand grip for sure
@@PolKsio lmao

It’s a northern grip. He clearly puts his pinky knuckle on bevel 17
identico a federer
Baby Fed
no, the preparation is different
clemlive that’s the only difference
It’s not like Rogers forehand
Jose Antonio Fernández it is, except less clean
He's a victim of his own forehand.
Qie War what do you mean?
@@commondirtbagz7130 his forehand is beautifully struck, studied by almost all, and he doesn't improve much on the backhand to compliment his forehand.
Qie War I understand but how does that make him a victim of his forehand
uranfaggit ok, but what about his forehand specifically brought him down?

Victoria Films how is he moving his wrist 2 much?

@padard its not onky its also a waste of time and at that level even fractions of seconds count.

And it all comes back to his shitty grip.
