What does -2 mean? lol
I thought singles players should be 6-3 and weigh 90 pounds lol
I was a low 4.5 but stop playing last year
Quite the opposite in terms of height...Personally. I am 6' 2" and I usually tell shorter people to pick on "someone of their own size" (on tennis courts). True those shorter people fill your weight category usually (not me alas).
My tennis game would be so aweful right now I would be laughed off the courtI see to remember that, alas...You mean you don't even rally/practice anymore? Got into other sports?

It would come back to you pretty fast. Besides who cares?

Hey all! Just wanted to know if you got any tips for me to improve my game. More specifically towards footwork/taking the ball earlier. I also feel as though I get jammed on my backhand when trying to position for it. I haven’t had a coach in years, have been learning the game myself haha. Anything would help!
btw I started off warming up. picked up the hitting after
I remember a thread where someone asked if losing weight could help them move up an entire UTR point, and I think that you'd benefit the most from that idea. Your strokes are solid and it looks like your fitness/strength/flexibility keeps you from getting lower on the ground strokes and doing more with what significant game you have already.
Otherwise, strokes are clean, clearly you are very athletic and light on your feet already. Building your body towards tennis fitness, developing the instinct to set up lower on your groundstrokes, and having the fitness to not be afraid of getting low and using the legs will do wonders for your game. Depending on your serve, I wouldn't be surprised if you were a 5.0+ player.
P.S. The one-hander's forehand is orders of magnitude better than his backhand.
Not sure if you guys get notified if I comment here again, but I guess I will find out. Here's a quick vid of me hitting again along with a side perspective. I also tried my best with adding more backhands here so I can get some criticism on it haha.
Note: This was the 3rd hour of playing so my footwork is sloppier than usual

i think that if u lose a couple pounds youll be competitive at that 4.5 level pretty quick
I can agree with you that he may need higher fitness level if he wants to reach 4.5 but I still think he's fine for his body type.

Sick and tired of seeing so many scrawny wimpy men play tennis who think it’s cool to weigh less than a women .
Whatever happened to the Becker physique when being an alpha male was what all guys wanted
Now it’s like the more skinny and girly you’re , the more of a cultured and intellectual person you’re
That's why Tsonga has also been so injury plagued and I laughed at his coach, a couple of years back, when he said that the "Tsonga weighted a healthy 100kg"!? Not on the tennis court and mind you, I weigh the same.
check out the doubles video if you have the time and let me know if you have any pointers.

Poaching almost always costs your team the point. I have kept track of this for many years. 97% of the time, the poaching team loses the point (ad court).
Are you on a 4.5 team
Nice forehand
