Brushing the ball upwards when you hit it to create topspin.

A lot of vision broadening information here. In just half an hour, i have realized many things that i couldn't before.

That is the awesome thing about this forum!

I just realized that I have to load my left leg more (I'm a lefty) to generate spin and net clearance. Does anyone know why this works so well in adding a higher trajectory ball?

Practice and you'll find out what is best for you. Some hit topspin shots very deep and heavy to the baseline, others hit topspin just over the net to the line at no mans land, you need to learn it all, and that is only accomplished through right practice.

i love the POV. Shows you how far ahead of his body he hits the ball during his forehand.

Doesn't the rhs on the verdasco vid look slow in the pov view? Especially on the fh. Maybe it's just me. I thought it should appear faster than that.

[Relinquis]

i'm not sure if the frame rate of the camera settings or the fisheye lens distorts that, but the balls he hits sure are going fast!

look at the forehand "winners" he hits later in the video clip, not just the balls he feeds to start the rally; both from his POV and then from the courtside POV.

where is my post I made here regarding wegner? (I wrote a very constructive and civil post about what I like and don't like about his Videos)

I don't understand the mods here. sometimes they delete something for no reason and on the other Hand they allow harsh insults in the current Scene Forum. really no consistency here I think they Need to hire me:.

I really don't appreciate when I write a thoughtfull post here and the effort gets deleted for no reason. I think I can Claim that I write Quality Content and Analysis here so I don't want to waste my time with Posts that get deleted.

I admit that I sometimes do spam the current Scene Forum just because the People there are so fanatic and clueless but I really care for biomechanics and like to create toughtfull Analysis about this Topic.

rant over.
