Playing Style & Technique
Jordan Thompson plays an attacking baseline game built on consistent power and depth. Their forehand is the primary offensive weapon — struck with a semi-western grip and heavy topspin to generate pace while keeping the ball deep in the court.
Their two-handed backhand is reliable and can be used both to redirect pace and to hit outright winners. Jordan tends to dictate play from behind the baseline, looking for short balls to step in and finish the point.
How their equipment supports their style: The Pure Drive suits an aggressive baseliner's need for a balance of power and control. Babolat VS Touch and RPM Blast (hybrid) provides the spin and durability required for consistent heavy-ball hitting from the baseline.
🤔 Should you copy Jordan Thompson's setup?
Jordan Thompson's setup is a solid starting point for club players who hit with topspin and like to attack. The Pure Drive is accessible at multiple playing levels. If you use Babolat VS Touch and RPM Blast (hybrid) or a similar string, aim for 22–25 kg (48–55 lbs) for a good balance of control and feel.
