Hi for this video, could you briefly explain to me the technical difference between what the player in orange and black was doing at the 30s and 45s mark? There is a visible difference definitely, but I would like to know more on the main technical difference in execution. Is the 30s mark a forehand drive and the 45s mark, a forehand loop? Many thanks.

They are just slightly different versions of a forehand. Β The second has a bit more topspin the first is a counterhit. Β YOu should look at the lessons on these two strokes in our free lessons.
