Videos of Me Hitting Around

[Tikiman53]

Hey guys. Here are some videos...of me... alone... on a Saturday night...

Har har, anyways, I felt like testing out the video camera on my new iPod Nano, and the quality was pretty good. It was just hard figuring out how to set it upright.

Please share your wisdom with me and give me some tips.

Compilation of all 3 videos with cool effects and music (haha, this videomaking stuff is pretty fun): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l8sDMbWhd0

its hard to tell from a wall. but it looks like you have good mechanics, but a lot of the balls you are hitting would be out (notice how high on the wall your hitting them)

 

[NLBwell]

Actually, you have good topspin and most of the balls are starting to dive by the time they reach the wall, so not a lot are going out (there are a few flyers). Focus on keeping your head still, it is very easy to start moving it when hitting against the wall.

nice video!really nice camera the ipod nano has, very soon i will post my video too.

back to the post. good mechanics, remember to practice the split step even if you are hitting against the wall, need to bend your knees, and dont hit hard against the wall remember you are practicing your strokes and getting the rhythm, if you just bash the wall you will start to make bad everything (in case you want to practice to reduce the time of your opponent on the wall you have to get closer to it and take the ball on the rise).

awesome backhand, looks great

and ur korean too. nice

 

[Memnoch]

lol, i like the part where you hit the ball over the wall. I hate when that happens.

Thanks for the comments guys! And yeah, the iPod Nano has a pretty sweet camera. Sound quality's pretty good too, if anyone's interested. I recorded a concert, and it turned out quite well

Jaewonnie, it's really cool how we can just look at a guy and know if he's Korean or not lol

I got a quick question. When you guys are reaching down to hit a ball below your waist, do you bend your knees with a straight back, or do you bend your back a bit to accommodate for the lower height? It looks like I'm doing a mixture of both. And it's just slightly bothering me because it looks kinda weird

nice strokes, i didnt see hardly any looking like they were going out, good topspin keeping them in.

 

[Ptrac]

sweet visual effects!

 

[spacediver]

i like the way you handle high balls - you're able to bring em back to a nice low height without moonballing them.

Man I really like that Jack Johnson song, I play it in my car all the time. I don't like the angle because I can't really see anything except your back.

Otherwise it looks pretty solid. Backhand take back looks like williams sisters lol.

You can use more leg power and rotate more pivoting off the front leg in neutral position.

 

[Tikiman53]

Man, Jack Johnson is amazing. Which one were you talking about? Rodeo Clown or Sitting, Waiting, Wishing? Both are great.

Looks like tennis players have good taste in music

 

[Dreamer]

Rodeo clown, so i was surprised to hear it. He has more songs like sitting waiting that seem to be more popular. Love Rodeo clown though.
