Pros and Cons

The Forehand Open Plane Restricted Swing

The Forehand Open Plane Restricted Swing is the basic swing which evolves from The Forehand Open Plane Swing.

There are both Pros and Cons for the player if this basic swing is the only basic swing used.

Obviously, this is not the case as this basic swing is one of three basic swings which evolves from The Forehand Open Plane Swing.

Because the player uses the four basic swings, there are no Cons and therefore no need to discuss the Cons but only the Pros.

The Pros

The opening of the racquet face allows the player to choose either four swings.

 If required the swing is reasonably powerful.

The backswing is extremely deceptive.

The player can lob or drop.

If the ball is hit directly at the player, the backswing encourages and allows the player to reflex.

This also allows the player to stroke the ball.
