I understand what your saying, but the analogy isn't quite the same. Tennis power is in the use of the wrist, not to mention the bouncy ball and spring loaded racquet. They hit the ball the hardest when serving, when they are on their toes, standing vertical.....its the wrist snap, not a SnF example.
I think its cool that ULL can make their mechanics work successfully, but I don't feel this is the best way. Now if I start seeing it in MLB then I will stand corrected

One of the shots that changed tennis was the open-stance forehand. Andre Agassi was among the first that made a weapon of it. It allowed tennis players to cover more court since they don't have to cross over their feet, but what made it possible was the ability to generate power with the shot. Perhaps the new rackets helped in the regard.
Also, the open forehand is especially effective against hard serves. As powerful as rackets and the players have become, notice that it's the baseliners and service-returners who have thrived for the most part post-Sampras. I propose that the open forehand has a lot to do w/ it.
Point being, it's kinda similar to what we're talking about here.

Well, maybe I could've found some bigger pictures.
