[VIDEOS] All of GWB's Tennis Game [VIDEOS]

[Gee Willikers Batman!]

My new 2h'er is pretty solid. It just doesn't feel natural to me.


That 2h bh video i posted last night is about 3 months old. BEFORE I switched to 1H.

[Gee Willikers Batman!]

So do you guys think my 2h'er back THEN is solid enough to switch from my 1h NOW?

The video link is here for anyone who hasn't seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1bdNFgcsHg

That first backhand was very nice, the rest were just OK.

He said he played for 6 hours. If you play for 6 hours even a WEEK, for 56 weeks, then you'd prolly be that good.

Nah, he's been playing for longer. GWB isn't the only guy that does this. Most of the people who post here talk about how they were tired, hadn't touched a racket in 20 years, or was getting used to their new artificial heart or something when they post, so in that regard, he's no worse than most people (although he's going for the double excuse of 6 hours of practice and less than one year of playing). But this is GWB's first post:

Serve : I disagree with boojay, 90-105 mph? What's with everyone on these forums over exxagerating the mph? Alot of the Juniors on this forum (13-16 mostly) think they are hitting these hard 100-110 first serves and 90 mph second kick serves. Your just going to hurt them in the long run if you don't tell them how fast it REALLY is. (I understand your just guessing Boojay)
Don't believe everything you hear on this forum Crazy, some people can give you all the wrong critiques and such.

BY THE WAY: No, I am not yelling at you Boojay, I just wanted to point out, 90 mph is rarely ever found in a junior tennis bracket. (low ages)

Forehand: Nice looking - but don't jump unless your being forced.
Backhand: Don't arm it, meaning, power doesnt come from just your arm. Power comes from the technique, rotation of the shoulders, hips, etc.

Pretty opinionated for somebody who only first touched a racket a couple of months previous.

I'd say he's been playing with this family since he was a kid. But rationalizes the one year comment by telling himself he's only taken it "seriously", like told himself he wants to play in college, for about a year.

Anyway, everything looks fine except for maybe the backhand. It's looking shaky, and against stronger hitters, it looks like it could easily break down. Create a more stable base. And like most juniors, your footwork looks a bit sloppy, so really work hard on the footwork because unless you hit a growth spurt, your game, especially in college (and you should be able to make most non-top 25 D-3 teams even if you see no action for the first year or two) is going to have to be predicated on consistency and speed.

Your two hander looks more stable and less likely to break down than your one-hander. Obviously, you'll need to work on it to make it perform well in a real match against a decent opponent, so it's a matter of if you're willing to take some nasty losses in order to be better in a year or so.

just had to watch your old strokes again. like it how your serves are linked to "the gayest tennis serve"

[njjohan]

Don't bother posting here anymore. The guy ran off cause he couldn't handle the people here.

Cool we're both lefties. But yeah, your serve and volleys are very simple, at least your serve is which is good. I also notice you like to kick your foot up after you do your split-step to get to a ball and that you like to flip your raquet a lot when you bring your raquet back which I think will just make things more complicated because if someone hits the ball deep, by the time you start swinging you push the ball back by flipping your wrist since you'll be hitting late. These are only minor things, please don't change your strokes because of this.
