Tennis pro from Kosovo here. Your input has made such an impact on my understanding of this game that I have been practicing for about 40 years. I am able to play mistake-free tennis for the first time in my life.
I find your videos interesting and ideas worth trying. This video says, for FH speed, pull the right hip from behind to the target. And for the FH, pushing refers to resistance in front. Then you add: "If I think of resistance in front of me, it's going to be slow." Two weeks ago, the video " The power supply of the Forehand and how to use it" says *push* back the left hip and the right hip will come through. "Don't think about the right hip coming through. It's a by-product." Pushing is slow forward but fast backward? I should focus on pulling the right hip or pushing the left hip? Also, I don't really understand "pulling from behind." Actually, I find focusing on any hip results in over-rotation and a spinny ball, but that's probably a different issue . . .
Maybe this will help. You have two options for rotating the hips. Option one is you think about the left hip like you mention above but that does not work for me. Option 2, pretend someone is reaching into your right pocket to steal your wallet and you quickly pull the hip away (pretend the thief is on tennis court as you are about to hit a ball and you have to pull your hip to create a further distance from your pocket to the thief). If the thief idea is confusing then just pretend someone is grabbing the back fabric of your right shorts and you want to pull the right hip forward. Hope one of these ideas gives you the answer.

Nice. "Pull the hip. Throw the racquet."
Excellent video
Great! Thanks a lot. What about the slice BH? Is the hip also conducive?

In order to begin the stroke properly u must LOAD the right leg and the wrist (racket head)pointing down behind you-this will not work otherwise..
