There were classic forehand (Edberg, Lendl, etc), then modern forehand (Agassi, Federer, Nadal, Murray, etc), the next gen (Kyrgios, Sock, etc). The take backs for them are different: classic - straight back, modern - racquet drop/tap dog, and next gen - whip/lasso. The grip are also different: classic - continental/eastern, modern - easter/semi, next gen semi/western. And then, I saw TW videos with Marcos Giron and he has sort of combination between next gen take back and modern grip; he uses eastern/semi grip but next gen take back. Current racquet manufacture is geared or suited toward modern or next gen. My modern technique felt suited to W PS 97 or Dunlop Hot Melt 200G but I still coulf not maximize my Dunlop CX 200 Tour. Seeing Giron forehand and he uses Yonex Vcore 95 which is similar to 200X Tour, I think I might try his style. The different techniques produce different result, the next gen style produce more spin with less wrist snap. See his form in below picture.
So I had 2 sessions trying to apply a new FH techniques. The 1st session with Hot Melt 200G and PS97: the new technique is pretty hard to apply with HM (too heavy) and PS97 (erratic result). On the 2nd session with CX 200 Tour: better due to fast swing racquet but need to be careful due syngut unspin-friendly string. The new technique certainly works well to generate power while the modern/classic is more consistent and flat hit.
