    Emma Navarro is really good.

    Didn't know if I was cheering for her or against CE. She is so far up cocos ass that I can't cheer for coco anymore. If she were only a mom like serina all boxes would be checked.

    Working with multiple coaches?

    I've split coaches before, liking one for their movement teaching and other for their ball striking. I didn't want to have two people teach me a forehand, it's like golf when e-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y gives you advice on your drive. It's too much input. When I have settled on a coach, I go to the point...

    The difference between my best and my worst is huge and it's driving me nuts.

    Well, you do a great job at defining your lows, but is your high also superlatively good? You describe getting bageled and then going back to your regular level. No description of playing lights out- "dominating*1" the other player. (*1 - If I can figure out how to footnote, I'll give credit to...

    Returner going to the back fence and delaying after I caught the toss

    You guys sure play with a lot of Dousche Bags. You can see some of the douschiness on his forum but to do so without the anonymity of the internet is actually funny-sad. Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk

    Playing for money, does it make you improve faster?

    It can close the gap for the difference in practice and match play. It puts skin in the game on your practice and can simulate stress of a ‘real’ match. I don’t think playing for money itself makes one better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Losing To "Worse" Players

    There is the theory of too much too soon. The lower level players do serve up opportunities and the better players talk themselves into trying to take everyone to the fences. Slower moving, or higher bouncing balls are a different breed that that dreamed of Rafa ts FH or the Stan OHBH can be...

    Returning

    What’s a good way to convert from chipping blocking serves back to driving them? I’ve been practicing against harder servers and I almost always default to the block/ slice even when my intent is to drive. It’s programmed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    How many points to focus

    I’m waiting to get better. Most of the cue coaching is bad because the focus is something uncontrollable In practice, I feel progressions are the better way to go. Body specific cues. It doesn’t matter what happens to the ball if you keep your head stable other than you kept your head stable...

    Kenin is Coming

    I’m digging on Kenin’s style. Fiery, hyper, etc. I hope she does well. It’s nice to have another tank on the world stage that plays hard, with emotion, and looks like a professional athlete. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    First Shot After Serve Help!

    I like it. It may not be a 100% drill. But it should force one to have to advance quickly and under control. I’ll have to be honest with myself to ensure that i learn. Also keep it a return drill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Return of the return

    Starting to get more served in. Technique is still not pro level so many come back. I'm struggling with the returns of returns. In a rally I think I have a more developed feelmfor the ball, returns feel like I a, flat footed and I struggle to get my weight moving in the direction I want it to...

    On the Drop versus On the Rise and Contact Point

    Play your court just published a video on this. Ultimately the chicken is correct. Balls on the rise attack flat, balls in the descent, shape with a topper spin swing. I don’t think that fast but do agree that I have to “cover” the on the rise hit I have many rallies of which you describe...

    New drills with an old coach

    The coach also offers that since I’m tall and prefer balls between knees and hips that I’m bending a lot at the back. As part of me lifting the ball im also standing up, changing the axis of rotation. This may feed into my other blog topic about not being able to feed balls well. The swing...

    Open stance forehand weight transfer

    Most open stance guidance that I’ve seen and read discusses stability on the strong side. I think as long as you keep your axis of rotation stabile aka not pull off the **** in moving your left leg, you’re fine. As soon as an instructor has an apparel contract, many will say you can’t hit in...

    Lost a weird doubles match -- tips for next time?

    I'd say your job is to hit off the side of the court and follow the poach. Not back. Or your partner hits a lot of slice so you can pick off the upwards hit. I think that as a one up one back your focus is on angles, not down the middle and drop shot. As a team, you should be able to win out. If...

    Drop Feeds

    thanks but it;s not about the drop feed per sey, lots of people advocate drop feeding a practice for ground strokes. I cant hit the buggers. I wonder if I practiced drops would that really payoff in ground strokes? Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk
