The Tomic inside out off forehand appreciation thread

Love it! Going to practice it tonight

I've never seen anyone play it to this level, it's almost like a drop shotwith the angle he gets.

Check out some clips of Jim Courier, this shot otherwise known as the "off-forehand" was his money maker.

What's an inside out off forehand? Isn't an inside-out forehand and an off-forehand the same thing?

Yeah you got me there with the double negative.

Anyway it's a great shot. Needless to say I tried it tonight and dumped jut about everyone of them in the net.

The difference between his shot and the standard off forehand is that he doesn't hit it with a lot of pace.

It's a nice shot. Being a left-hander I don't have a lot of use for it.... would usually rather hit a backhand down the line.

There's one guy in our comp who constantly hits shitty little off-forehand slice drop shots. Drives me nuts because it's a rubbish stroke that absolutely kills you if you drop one short on him.

Thankfully he's kind of a fatass so if you anticipate it and get to the net you can usually make a drop volley that leaves him stranded.
