    How To Improve Past 5.0?

    Ya good point. I think it's situational. Against a fast opponent who is running to cover the forehand side, going at the backhand will wrong-foot them, and almost guarantee a short ball. Against a slow opponent who is still off the court when you're hitting, then the open court is probably...

    How To Improve Past 5.0?

    Hey dude, If you look at the statistics, most points on the pro tour are over in 4 shots or less. It's all about first-strike tennis. So your intuition is correct - just feeding isn't going to get you to the next level. You're basically practicing skills you'll never use in a match. Here...

    Very annoyed: Will Hamilton from FYB

    Hey man, Can you email me (will.fyb@fuzzyyellowballs.com) the page in question? Everything should be clearly labeled "2x$47" on the page (in huge text), and in the video as well, but if that wasn't your experience please point me in the right direction so I can see what's up. Thanks...

    What ever happened to Will Hamilton from FYB?

    Hey Thomas thanks for the honest feedback, appreciate it. The pre-match analysis videos are the #1 thing people always ask me about. The problem is: I go to a lot of these tournaments now, can't travel with the dry-erase board, and haven't figured out how to produce videos of equal quality...

    What ever happened to Will Hamilton from FYB?

    Re: the frequency of emails, we send a lot. No doubt... But the model works, and I figure it's worth it because it's allowed me to pay guys like Bob & Mike Bryan, Pat Rafter, Feisal Hassan, Jeff Greenwald, Craig O'Shannessy, Mark Kovacs, and many other "A-list" talents that most tennis players...

    Parents don't want me playing

    Going to have to respectfully disagree here... If his parents are "putting him down" and are generally unsupportive, they definitely DO NOT know what's best. So TaDoey, I'm sorry your parents are being tough on you but I would just try to ignore them in this instance as much as possible...

    Anyone try the FYB new video?

    Cool : ) Re: free content, I was assuming you were asking if it's a problem trying to sell something when there's some much free content out there. I get that question all the time: "Why should I buy your instruction when there's so many free alternatives?" The short answer is that...

    Anyone try the FYB new video?

    Jack is right about the broad strokes of the industry. It's email list driven. Treb: Psychologically it was difficult for me, because we had started hoping to keep everything free. But tens of millions of YouTube views later we were on the verge of going broke. So we had to switch to a paid...

    I know I miss doing the dry-erase board videos. It's tough with everything we have going on, and where we're trying to push the industry.

    Anyone try the FYB new video?

    I miss doing those. What happened is I started traveling to the majors (in 2012 I went to all of them) and I obviously can't take my big dry-erase board with me, so that prevented me from doing them regularly. Need to figure out a "travel version" of the board. Any suggestions? : )

    FYB "Match Control" -- any good ?

    Glad you don't think I'm a bum ;-] The material in Match Control has been tested and proven to work for recreational players - it's good advice and not something I'm just pulling out of a hat. I curated, tested, and sequenced everything I've learned from the Bryan Bros, Pat Rafter, and...
