Looks like high ranked open level players to me.

Chris is a 5.0, I am not. He's pretty steady while I can have my ups and downs. Hopefully I'll have more ups during that tournament! We're competitors...we'll see how it goes.

Thanks for posting the videos! Even though I'm a junior, I'll try these drills when I hit with my friends this weekend.

In an unrelated question, what's the song playing in the background?

Good luck and thanks for the vids. That alley-to-alley volley drill is harder than it seems. Amazing how easy the Bryan Bros make it look! Just shows how good those guys really are.

Great stuff!

Chris, around 4:00: I think you swing too much (you lose power) and you hit late (contact point is approximately in line with your right ear). Try to hit in front of you with short-to-no swing. I am sure you know this all much better than I but I am just trying to give constructive comments

Spencer: try not to drop the wrist when you hit volleys. When you hit overhead, extend your right arm a bit more, snap your wrist casually and do not muscle the ball in

Go TW go!

BobFL,
You are spot on. We are both swinging too much on the FH side.

We are totally open to constructive criticism, partly why we are doing this segment before the tournament.

Still plenty to work on before we are ready.

Chris, TW
