Please tuck your pockets into your shorts...

lol...I second that request.

Nice vids. Your forehand looks good. I really like the net clearance you're getting. On the backhand: your backhand looks a bit awkward. Its a combination of improper footwork and not enough body turn. You have an open stance on most of your backhand shots. To help you set up the correct stance it may help to get the racquet back early, just as you do on your forehand.

Nice forehand, I dig the topspin and net clearance. When you play a match try some inside out forehands. Your opposition is going to get pretty annoyed having to hit such high backhands :D

Both forehand and backhand, you should pull the racket butt toward the ball, then you thrust the ball off the string. What you are doing is hitting the ball, so your trunk can't naturally rotate~

Danny,

I'm glad that you have improved thru the advices given from tt forum, but I'd like to give you one golden advice if you want to play tennis for a long time.

Clear the ball off the court!

One video shows that you're actually come up to the net when clearly there are balls on the service line. That's a nasty accident waiting to happen.

I agree! I don't know why Asians look so funny playing tennis. Asians need to play more sports instead of hitting the books all the time!!

I second that... however, this kid does not look awkward playing tennis, there are plenty of white people that looks a lot worse than him. But I have seen some asian kids that looks ridiculously... gumpy... when playing tennis and it looks like tennis is the only life away from books and computers. but there are always exceptions. danny looks okay to me.

azns do rock! but you always have these people that make all azns look like book smart nerds. there are these twins in my freshmen class taking honors pre-cal, latin 2, and they talk funny, act funny, are on the debate team, the math team, and were going to join the chess team.

man im a cool asian

You are cool. Great vids danny. Your ground strokes look very good. Who cares what you look like. I am sure all these people saying you look "goofy", can't play worth a sh1t. Interesting that the people who criticize and "analyze" videos on this forum are the only ones who don't post their vids.

Thanks for posting them. Keep up the work, and don't pay attention to these momos.

Your strokes are not goofy, they are solid. And taking into account the short amount of time you have played I am very impressed. As I said, don't pay attention to these momos.

Lol, I don't know what it means in prince of tennis, I'll check it out when I have time.

"Moonball" is a shot that is too high, loopy and lacks pace. It happens when you don't hit through the ball but try to hit topspin by "sweeping up".

Anyway, I like your videos in general. You're doing fine.

I think that your body pops up as you hit your forehand, you want to keep low thru the whole shot.

Nah popping up channels your body power into your shot and also adds topspin. Love your forehand, but you gotta follow through your backhand! Don't just block the ball.

Asians kick ass dude.
