Great stuff! Since you were lakeside I’d have taken the opportunity to skim some stones across the water there. Surely a very close analogy to the modern 🐐 swing?
Yes, it's an underhand throw, but a high one, where the racquet head is moving 25-35 degrees vertical through contact. Skipping-a-stone throw is a lower throwing action, skimming the stone down along the water's surface.
That was excellent. Do you agree with me in the following: the whip motion can/should be achieved through the intent of a final result in time not from the purposeful effort of performing certain movements to achieve that final result. The body must figure this movement out by you giving it a goal. The intent is very similar to slapping a face - the intent is a quick pop of the hand, a whip. This motion is very similar to the forehand except that the racket slap is not head-on but is upward and over the ball slightly. By focusing on slapping the ball upward and over, the whip comes naturally as a slap comes naturally. All other instruction should be held back until one can develop the correct slap.

How can I access Part 4 of the Federer forehand paradigm
