    What do you think about Inertial Tennis

    It’s not necessarily the physics that is the issue with these physicists. It is often their lack of expertise when it comes to physiology / biomechanics and other aspects of tennis. @toly is another physicist who posted here for quite a while. To his credit, he did provide good insight with some...

    What do you think about Inertial Tennis

    The “forearm” is a part of the body. I believe you mean “forehand” here. The problem with an excessive use of the open stance Fh is that it is extremely punishing on the dominant hip (right hip for righties) — especially for amateur players. In the 90s and 00s, it ended or shortened the career...

    Korean athletes. And perhaps some other Asian athletes.

    Hit in knee by tennis ball

    Smaller bone on the side? Huh? What bone would that be? Not aware of any in that area. Edit: Ok, just noticed this was already addressed in post #4

    What do you think about Inertial Tennis

    Sounds like you are responding to a different post rather than #11. Do you recall ever seeing a dedicated “inertial tennis” thread from @jch that he said he would post?

    What do you think about Inertial Tennis

    His strokes might appear to be at something around a 5.0 ntrp level. “Arming his strokes” is rather an ironic statement since, according to his TT posts back in 2018, this is the opposite of what his inertial tennis was attempting to achieve.

    What do you think about Inertial Tennis

    He had promised to generate his own thread on inertial tennis concepts back in 2018. Do you recall ever seeing such a thread? If it did exist, it was removed by the mods long ago. But there are still some amusing exchanges between him and @Gregory Diamond, another Polish "physicist".

    What do you think about Inertial Tennis

    Are you yet another physicist from Poland? Do you know Jarek Chrostowski, who posted as @jch here for a few months back in 2018? Are you @jch? Jarek C was supposedly a journalist & scientific editor from Poland according to several sources. He is identified as a physicist only on the inertial...

    Foreign languages interesting

    Sounds Chauvinistic. Supremacist? Doesn't sound at all stupid to moi. Filling Station attendant is another often name. For something more playful, they anre often referred to as a Gas Pump Jockey or, simply, Gas Jockey. In Germany, I believe one of the terms used is Tankstellenbediener

    Does anyone else practice this regularly?

    Practiced my OH smash by playing a lot of badminton. A college team tennis coach witnessed me hitting a badminton smash (~30 yrs ago). He told me that I needed to hit my tennis OH pretty much the same way ~~ (nearly) the exact same mechanics with the very same degree of relaxation & authority...
