But he's so muscle bound that he doesn't have any flexibility!:twisted:

I'm built like a tennis player and I'm not nearly that flexible.

I'm not a youtube expert, but I believe they now have tools that allow you to rotate your own videos.

Here's what I found. Good luck.

It definitely helps to have long arms if you want to generate pace. However, with good technique, an athletic player can still hit 100mph without too much difficulty. I've seen 5'4" women hit over...

For the average rec player the 1hbh probably causes more injuries than the 2hbh. I say this because I think that tennis elbow is more common among 1hbh rec players than 2hbh players.

I think the top hand should be eastern to semi-western and the bottom hand continental, as that allows easier access to slice and drop shots.

This is exactly what I was thinking. It is probably easy to get a skin tight white short-sleeve shirt if you just buy UA or Nike compression gear. I'd guess they even make slightly less tight ones.
