Pros and Cons

The Forehand Open To Extended Plane Swing

The Forehand Open To Extended Plane 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 swing used.

Obviously, this is not the case as this 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.

The swing allows and encourages the player to hit the ball when it is low and the player is stretching.

The player is able to play a top spin drop shot.

The backswing is extremely deceptive.

The player can either drop or lob. The lob is a natural shot to play.
