Good catch Bucket! Also, of particular importance is the "doggie" hand position of the left hand - check it out at the 1:02 mark.

I'm a tennis player before a golfer and if only I'd discovered earlier about the similarities I'd have improved quicker. I always maintained a right forearm flying wedge in my fore-hand but didn't realize I did it. Now I know that I do it naturally and wish I'd employed it in my golf from the start. With my back-hand I also maintain a flat right wrist (akin to the flat left wrist in golf).
Another thing that I learned from TGM that applied to tennis was why I was giving myself a shoulder problem with my serving (one of the reasons I turned to golf). With TGM knowledge I realized that my right elbow was spent at the moment of impact with the ball - all power had gone and it was causing a jolt on my shoulder. Now I'm working on saving some elbow for the moment of impact which is increasing the power and saving my shoulder.
There are so many similarities between tennis and golf. You also have hingeing in the tennis stroke.

Homer's sports were pool and tennis I believe. Linear force and the RFFW come to mind.

I was going to take up tennis too. Then I found out they don't allow carts, and don't drink beer. I stuck with golf.

As a point of order, I'd like to point out that Nico is using the vulcan variant of the doggy. This is extremely advanced stuff folks, will definitely prevent downswing blackout though.

Whats all the "Racket" ?
I prefer the bunny rabbit to the doggie with my Right Forearm Angle of Approach. But then again, I am not as "high strung" as a few of you.
