Accelerate the racket or the ball? I accelerate the ball more on 1st serve, but tend to accelerate the racket more on the 2nd serve.

sorry, but this guy butchers the topic... the OP clear issue isn't addressed in this video either.... the OP has horrible "slot entry" just like the guy in this video has bad slot entry.... you can't run a good slot to contact with bad slot entry!

a vestige or artifact, left over from the old "Big C" days..

Easy... Your slot runs downhill instead of up to contact...

Let it bounce up near your shoulders and use a level WW type swing for a Fade type top spin.

Not sure what you mean, but best coaching is almost inverse from best players... so who got a set on who doesn't matter much. Novak is my Favorite player and I picked him to be the GOAT well before 2010. That said, he isn't a great coach based on what I've seen him try to do... same with Serena...

I'm just saying that we see a lot of mistakes with those guys and the idea is not to say stuff that is wrong... Sort of the Do no Harm principle...

Really? Look at this and tell me this is good on this most basic stroke?

Imo the above are s ome of the worst... clearly the best is RacquetFlex They don't have the high resolution that we offer at Advanced Tennis, but they are nearly always right on the right track with good general advice.

contact point and follow thru are solid if you are looking for lifting topspin shot... follow thru is high for a Drive shot though...

Thank you!... We realized that page 2 got repeated and fixed the mistake thanks to your comment.

Actually his point was that efficiency is different based on what you are measuring,... much like what you are trying to say.

Is it efficiency or Effectiveness that drives a good game? An excellent article by a top Pro instructor. https://www.congruenttennis.com/post/what-is-efficiency-and-why-it-matters

Just to be clear, I have a lot of respect for your work and experience. I've been watching you for many years. I just wanted to make that clear since I take issue with most of your comments in this thread, including the one above. I'm glad we don't live in a fascist Nation with official...

Not sure if it is your point or not, but the fastest way to get a shotty job and pay twice as much is to go to the licensed dealer for service. I always seek out a private operator or small local business for auto repairs. There are always unqualified people whether or not a certification is...

I think you accurately describe the certifying agents, but find it remarkably corrupt that you can't legally be a barber, go fishing or be a dog groomer in the US without a license. I see no problem with offering a license for those customers who need or want the gov't to hold their hand on...

The above would have been a fantastic point if it were true, but no... your OP went much further, even to the point of ridicule with comments like, "The overly scientific talk just flies over the heads and frustrating players while making the coach feel good about themselves with all the...

Excuse me for saying, but it seems you are confusing lessons with forum discussion. It is your option to treat them the same, but they are very, very different animals with a bit of overlap in purpose. In a lesson or training, you are looking to improve a player's ability and performance. On a...

Yes, and you were hitting a pretty good ball out there.... especially for the conditions!

I really like this Jolly ... Imo a bit more to the right is better.

It is the combo of both speed and acceleration and the combo of the linear and circular that Chas mentions, that work together to generate big power. By using a cam effect created by 1st moving towards the contact, then shifting your body mass laterally to some greater or lesser extent... this...

One handed shots are mostly about managing the momentum of the racket Rh by G-ing it up via acceleration. The accel speeds up the Rh as well as multiplies the effect of the mass of the RH as well. It is a bit like pulling a spark plug with a wire. The wire is firm, but if you try to push it...

not so much once you learn how to drag the Rh instead of push it.... it then becomes pretty easy and maybe the easiest of the strokes.

drag the RH thru contact instead of flipping or pushing it thru...

The key to hitting a Drive is understand that the strongest, least effort and most consistent Drives are hit with a Fade technique. Most every player you see hitting the big consistent Drives are using some variation of the Fade Drive. Even Sinner, who hits quite a strong consistent Draw for...

thanks

yes, but the squash shot has solid fundamentals and I expect you got into the best position you could to hit it...

Yes, but how many know why? It starts at the ground because that is how the K-chain works by definition with science.... but not how the forces work. The forces begin in the lower core and hip and emanate up and down at the same time, helping things to react twice as fast! The hip hinge presses...

Dual Objectives... 1 position well to receive the ball, loaded & on balance, and 2. take a quality swing with good fundamentals thru contact.

lol, of course there is. He seems to think that if you don't hit the slot in the way he does, then you are doing it wrong and his way is not knowing to hit the slot, but just hitting it by doing other things right ( I guess those right things do exist) and even pretending the slot isn't there...
