Another video here focusing on the semi-western grip, we see the power effect the forearm can generate. In fact, it is said that the twisting effect of the forearm is naturally strong. Players using this grip are rewarded with higher than usual topspin that can help build confidence with every stroke in a game. One of the disadvantage of this grip is returning a ball that is too high may complicate the shot. In this slow mo clip the ball is at the optimum height which is near and around the hip area. Returning a ball at shoulder height may be a little uncomforatable. In Hewitt's case, you may see him try to gain height by jumping into the ball to bring the ball height lower for him to return comfortably. So, how do you ensure good returns from a player who hits deep and with high topspin? Try hitting the ball on the rise.
