Hi Hari,
This is a little difficult to follow.
If you follow the simple steps that we have in our lessons on the start and finish positions you won't go too far wrong.
It is easy to over complicate the game. We really encourage players to keep things as simple as they possibly can to get the best results.
Take a note of these simple steps in our lessons on the Forehand Topspin and the Forehand Smash.

Oh, I know what you mean!!!
Yeah, that's basically it, but I don't know if THAT much wind up is necessary, unless you want a Chinese FH loop. Also, some people go past the shoulder and finish at 1 o'clock-ish, like Ma Long. Some don't though. I think I do a little bit, but I never really paid much attention to it. It's still all about personal preference. See what works best for you.
