Five Fundamentals of a Pro's Forehand

Super Slow Motion of Roger Federer's Forehand

Seeing the ball for contact from the back of the racket changes the entire dynamic.

• It buys you more time.
• It makes it easier to keep the head still.
• The reference point in space is real, it is the racket coming forward to hit the ball.  It is a fixed point itself, a visual constant, but is adjustable based on the situation.
• It is easier to see the blur because there is more of it to see, here the blur is the back of the racket face.
• The eyes look at the (larger) back side of the racket face coming through and moving in the direction with your vision instead of the smaller ball against your vision.
• Contact quality is now in your control (the back of the racket is in your hand) instead of something out of your control (the ball moving away from you).
• Mental focus takes center stage, not visual focus, since now you watch for the contact instead of trying to watch the ball come into the racket and then be struck.
