High Speed From Above

[John Yandell]

Love to know what you guys think of our new top view high speed footage!

What do pro forehands look like from above in high speed video?

They look like the perimeter of a tennis racket as Tomaz Mencinger has advised for rec players.

Love it! You can really see the rotational forces at play. I appreciate the difficulty in getting the player in field of view. I tried to do the same thing with a boom setup years back, but it got too tedious and I didn’t have a remote monitor setup. Looking forward to viewing the serve from that angle because you can really get a better feel for swing planes and toss locations in relation to the body on different types of serves.

I love this view. The best forehands also seem as though the non-dominant hand releases when it gets to directly above the back leg. Interesting.

Ryan Shane’s full racket flip and laid back wrist is clearly revealed in the overhead view.
