Looked at the clip about 8 times, smooth of both sides, might be ambidextrous. All comes down to the hand switch; if you're quick enough, no more B-Hands!! Used to play inline-street hockey over at Central Park/72 St, and guys would always give me sh#t about switching, ... until they finally...

Decent clip, a bit too much muscle in his swings. As for the Rafa FH demo, not really, aside from the over-the-head FT only marginally resembles the original ...

While percentage varies between individual players, both male and female pros use all stances, period. Should have been asking for an example of a player who doesn't, ... Now, there is a challenge;)

Only watched the first clip. Interesting concept, throwing square and semi-open/open stance into the same hat;)

While you're at it, please draw in Player D, based on C's ball trajectory, but both more ball speed and TS ...

Don't really get your point, unless you're asserting that, if you are hitting with a SW FH grip for example, you should be using a strong eastern BH grip. Since FH and BH stroke mechanics are different and even vary from player to player(talking/comparing pros strokes) it wouldn't make sense to...

Your interpretation re time line is correct. The pic in #66 shows face angle at max impact( check ball deformation, string bed deflection), and represents the actual face angle of 8 deg, pic 1 shows face angle immediatly after the ball has left the string bed, so green line in pic #1 equals 1rst...

My picks, ... Graf and Roddick ... Think about it;)

First red line likely marks mid point/max impact during the contact phase. Ball is hit slightly below center, resulting in face angle change during contact, otherwise FA would have remained the same from green to 2nd, maybe even 3rd red line.

You mean, jump like a Goat??;) But seriously, there is no specific point in time but rather a time frame, spanning from right before to shortly after ball contact, depending on what kind of average ball you dealing with, how well you're able to read the opponents ball, and also your set-up...

Eliminate the stop/hold at the end of the drop, that's where your wrist tightens up.

Just curious, ... do you pay these guys off to hit down the middle?;)

Let me see ..... Just for fun ....;)

Jumping like a goat, throwing the damn racquet at the ball, ... he sucks, ain't goin' nowhere!!;)

No actually, most likely at himself after messing up a shot ...

Would you like to cut down on all those keep-the-ball-in-play stretched out one-handers? Splitstep, and you'll find yourself in position to hit about half of them with your beloved THFH. On a side note, splitstepping doesn't destabilize you, and definitely is not a waste of energy. It actually...

Not familiar with the 'dipper', are you?

Both B and C.

So, Seles and Bartoly not strong enough?? Enough already ...

On a side note, Jimmy Connors at some point used to switch, same frame, tighter string tension for return games.

Funny ...;)

You're correct, dwell time(countless studies on that) is about 4-5 milliseconds, period. RS doesn't change dwell time, it changes the distance of ball/racquet traveling together during the contact phase. Just as an example, let's say RS of 10m/s that distance is 3", at 20m/s you'd get 6"...

Apparently, my initial assessment was correct.

Umm, ... you're out of your mind ... And please, stop projecting your 'epiphany' onto the rest of the tennis universe;)

Sorry, but NO on all three.

Pine Brook ...

If you're talking about PB, sad to hear ... Any cracking going on?

Now you've done it ... for minutes, I found myself mesmerized, staring at a man's left butt cheek;)

After-contact balance is dependent upon setup balance, going into your swing. You're setting your front foot toe-first on a number of shots, which causes a straightening reflex, pushing you backwards. Stepping heel-first, just like a fencer's forward lunge, will 'roll' your body momentum into...

Doesn't matter, ... feels right, and most importantly, works ... the end;)
