Key Forehand Position

This player is a 4.5 player with an outstanding forehand due to a pro level motion into contact, and through the ball. But his forehand could be so much better if he approached the ball in line with its flight path. Here we see this player tilting his racket and wrist to the ground to an extreme degree. This prevents him from driving through the ball, and instead results in way too vertical of a racket path. It is remarkable he hits the ball as hard and well as he does with this extreme path into the ball. But he does everything else so well, it masks this technical flaw.
