Here's Brian's article on different backswings.

Understanding Professional Forehands: Part 1 - TennisPlayer

https://www.tennisplayer.net/article/understanding-professional-forehands-part-1/

The pillars of the Type III ATP forehand are defined by the forward swing, independent of the backswing and followthrough. My previous article described the Four Pillars of the Type III ATP forehand. (Click Here.) These pillars are exclusively defined by attributes of the forward swing – that is, they are independent of the backswing...

To paraphrase Brian - The elbow is lifted in the backswing then drops the arm from the shoulder to get a more vertical hand path that carries speed into the forward swing.

Thanks Seano, I’ll have to look at that again. I read/watched it a while ago.
