ok...sam.!!i get it now!

There is also a problem in his upper body I think: it stays still during your anim, but you have to make it rotate. But wait for Neeky he can give you goid advices too

EDIT: glad you get it its a very difficult work and I support you I am sure you will improve

Yes I saw your video his feets also need to change position with the rotation of the body
Edit: yes he has different forehands but you have to make the one he does on a normal situation not the one where he hits the ball from a difficult area of the court!

ok sam...thanks for your coments!!! the upper body i look at it and maybe stay still in the rotation...i notest that..when the racket arm cross the body, the upper body stay still for a moment...that is not a full rotation...the face of the racket i will closed it...and try to get the feet more fluid with the body..but all of that make it later..

another vid ....close racket face...add a little fix to the feet.the left feet lift a little above the ground.and the right foot rotate on himself...i do it that way cause in the vid im based on.he is helping the forehand with a jump,and my animation is not...and move that way his foots..upper body...doesnt change...

well...ill wait for the coments again!!! everything to get the best animation!!!!

Huge improvement since the first videos...What IMO you have to improve is the left arm...in the real video, stop at 0:07 and see how the left arm is positioned; you have to bend it a little bit more and also to turn around the palm of the hand (yours is wide open like it tries to receive something from somebody)...after the stroke, you have unbend the arm more quickly (let it go down)

One more thing; try to improve also the head movement; right before the stroke, Murray is looking basically at the ball..yours do that but is too fast and not well executed

You made really a good improvement but one more important thing in addition to Lucian's good suggestions: In your anim, Murray is using a continental grip! (the one you normally use for the serve!) like this


But this isn't good! You need to give him a Semi western grip I think ( I am not quite 100% sure on Murray's grip)


EDIT: I made some researches and yes I was right he uses Semi Western

He uses semi. It looks weird because of the way manutoo has made the players hold the racket.

Few other corrections that are big mistakes (with feet position, racket finishing, body rotation, shoulders) hope you understand: look at the pictures on the left:

@lucian86
ok lucian..i fixed the hand...on the pics from sam can see that IS too open...like waiting for some money..jaja...and the head too..thanks...

@SamModder
thanks man...those pics really helps...bout the racket grip...as nole lucky said....is the way that the anim have made...if i try to get a semi western grip,the position of the racket have to be moved...and(i dont know why) the holding racket hand looks weird...no sostendria la raqueta y la mano quedaria abierta.understand me? but...well...everything can be tested..so...im goin to get on work one more time!!
thanks everybody!!

Go on megagyem, I think you're close to a really good result
