Toss a ball over your back then turn and run to hot it to a target. You can start from the net, toss the ball back and chase a lob and hit a lob back or a passing shot back or you can start from the baseline and chase a dropshot. You can count longer after tossing the ball befor turn back and...

It's a tough shot to hit, especially in doubles, since your opponent net person would move in and block your angle. You can drop or angle it back with loose wrist as Salman said, and then it's the wrist contest at the net. You can lob it high over the net man, preferably cross court and warn...

It may be easier to improve speed and running FH than to improve a decent BH, but speed can be going down easily with age or injury.

Sorry, it should be roughly about 70 points aded to your original SW.

You could maintain the 5 point HL if you add 19.5g of lead tape at the 3&9 positions and add 19.5g of lead tape to the handle at the same distance from the original balance point to 3&9 position. So you have to figure the distance from the balance point to your handle to add your lead...

I wouldn't buy a newest racquet model that just come out this year as I wouldn't buy a newest electronic gadgets that just come out this year since two years (or even one year) later I would get a better deal, especially on a discontinued product. Shelf life of a tennis racquet is sometimes...

Next match for Haas would be like playing himself. I hope he could play at his potential this year after all those injuries of him and accident of his parents.

Good for strategy and playing style, but the stroke section (too basic) did not help players beyond beginner.

What I said about wind up (take back) a litle longer is similar to what Kobble said. Nothing's wrong with racquet up when the ball up, but yours was a bit too soon and not completely synchronize with your weight transfer. Your motion was somewhat more like Chela, but I think you should use...

I would get into BH crosscourt rally and wait until he runs around his BH and hit FH, then I would either hit to his duece corner or crossing to his ad corner, preferably with my running FH.

You shifted your weight to your front foot a bit too soon, so you couldn't utilize your full weight behind the serve. Your front foot didn't help in forward movement, and you wasted the loaded weight in your front foot. It wuold help if you could wind up the racquet back a little longer and use...

It's easier to lob or pass off a moon ball than a slice approach plus taken the moonball before it bounces will have more angle and less to worry about depth which is negated by the rushing opponent. Moonball approach would work with those stay behind baseline, but not with those capable taking...

"Forget about the rules about patterns and go with the flow." I used to mainly approach down the line, serving second serves to backhands, passing crosscourt, etc.,especially under pressure. I'm still using these patterns, but with better mixed up on pressure points. I sometimes S&V on...

Cypo, if your partner are afraid to hit you while you are at the net, just tell her to lob and you'll stay on that side (ready to move back for possible overhead or counter-lob) and she'll have to complete the switch. It was just miscommunication or lack of in that match, and any team sport is...

Depending on your racquet size and string pattern, as well as your machine. 20' should be enough for 95-98 sqr in. with 16 mains, but probably not for 18 mains. A racquet smaller than 95 sqr in. should use less than 20' for main regardless of # of mains. Only OS racquet that definitely use less...
