Semi-Western Forehand Point of Contact and Semi-Open Stance
(C)2005 Jeff Cooper licensed to About.com, Inc.
The ideal point of contact for a Semi-Western forehand is more forward and higher than the ideal Eastern point of contact. The semi-open stance shown here works well with the Semi-Western grip, but more square or open stances can also work.
