:lol: :lol:

He uses a SW forehand grip but that's cool, think whatever you want.

Also, that paragraph of mine that you quoted makes no mention of Federer or his forehand grip. Don't really know why you brought it up.

Any more old and completely dead topics that you want to revive in the interest of pointless arguing??

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Honestly I don't care what guy says (besides I can't hear anything he's saying, I have no sound on Youtube, and also I've seen other videos by that guy and he's an over-analyzing nerd)...watch a slow-motion video of Federer hitting a forehand and tell me that it has anything in common with a forehand like Sampras or Ivan Lendl (both DEFINITELY Eastern-grip users). His racquet face is essentially parallel to the ground for much of his swing (until right before contact), he makes contact with the ball with a straight arm 90% of the time, he follows through OVER HIS LEFT ARM (not shoulder like Eastern grip)...bah, I actually can't believe I'm even discussing this!! I honestly don't even care that much!! :lol:
