Accelerating is more stable as bmg indicated, also its not just impact speed that leads to ball speed in a collision between bat and ball but separation speed. I've got the physics working somewhere in some golf book.

To quote Bob rotella (golf) Conservative strategy, cocky swing

Yes basically Boring baseline bashers on modern slow courts with slow balls going to win points playing boring. Nd's style was high tariff though which is why it took him longer to break through than rn. Taking the ball that early on defence is a skill, got rewarded once he did though on...

Yes it's a pressure point and same as in golf there's a gap there.

I doubt the wta will persecute swiatek as they may or may not be doing to rybakina.

Bbc is a disgrace and worse we in the uk have to pay for the privilege of been propagandised.

The fade bh is really, it's basic physics. It's basically no different from the fade fh Ball above the net hit more across and less up, the tilted axis of spin causing the fade. All you do is hit is hit the ball slightly more out in front or slightly nearer to your body depending on how you...

Apologies if it's been posted

I agree, I believe it's more than that though: This is the best tennis example I've seen of tilting the axis on tennis, its talked about differently though and is an example of a touch drop shot vs a hard shot. To execute you have to tilt the axis of spin. gigi says coming round the outside of...

I agree tennis is negligible for spin compared to table tennis. With late or peak contacts a sold shot is fine. If u take it early you don't counter the spin so much as make your own spin on a different axis. There's a reason people struggled to take nadals balls on the rise. Federers...

Try playing table tennis and you'll start to understand the effects of going directly against the force of incoming spin and the problems in overcoming it. It's easier to counter though. U can take it late and wait the forces to reduce. Or if u know how and want to play delicate you can or...

2 turns and a swish I try not to describe it to myself in detail except for an intellectual interest in it which I do have. However, that whole idea screams declarative knowledge. If I'm playing I'm not interested in the complexities. Most sub motions observed are results or effects not...

Complex issue that leads to others Adults think way too much, gets in the way of learning. If u buy into the v a r k learning theory u have visual, audio, read write, kinaesthetic. Usually a combo if all 4 in differing amounts I'd go feel as more important to me as a learner. I'm looking...

@sureshs if that's you in the video chas posted I don't see you struggling with 3.5 level lefties hitting to your bh unless someone's telling u that's nadals level. Anyway for timing footwork, swing more horizontal with your shoulder plane they'll be fade back hands naturally with a decent...

Looked like he got it as it bounced I'd say it was a double bounce. Good post, not seen that. There the hard ones though and the spin thoughts he says would be interesting as it should apply. Not very close to the iga situation though. Bouncing about 3 inches before, the ball weight going up...

Serena reportedly played a few major matches under TUE's wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here.

Federer might disagree There's a clip of him explaining to the umpire how the arc of the ball and spin is completely different off the racket when getting the ball clean or after a 2nd bounce. Here you go

Dtl and transition in not an option for you?

Really a tennis player called Emma putting a dampier sideways like an M is interesting? Edit Or like an E depending on your point if view

Dumbed down squash or Dumbed down tennis? Let me see, neither thank you very much.

It's about 20% iitc from zero to pronation isr whatever you want to call it.

One of the funniest things I saw was azarenka moaning to the umpire about putinsova doing just that to her. All I could I think was yeah pot kettle, because that's exactly what you'd do and indeed did do in a major final. No time for her either, but she is one of the best returners on the wta...

I'm going with gigi on this wide or body (outside ground strokes for me). Other serves are gambles which I might occasionally be willing to take but generally wide or body. If you absolutely bomb your serves its less of a risk, but still gotta be prepared to get burned. If I don't like their...

Changing rackets mid return game, dont forget that one. Charging players who have an easy smash with potential of putting a racket clash and injury in their mind. It's a long list Was a fan, sadly her on court behaviour is abysmal.

Situational Inside the court put away ball on offence will generally be lower over the net (lift it too much and its out) Higher heavy ball from neutral or defence is pretty standard. Certain players or courts may suit 1 type of play. Your strengths opponents weaknesses. E.g. on clay vs a...

Dont try that psychobabble on me ;) The most correct answer to that question is its half empty, it's got nothing to do with optimism or pessimism. Edit hey what happened to my emoji

When I watched the video and I watched it all the way through, that's kind of what I heard him saying.

Put it in 90s tennis conditions I like Pete and agassis chances, nadal would still dominate clay, Roger would find a way to challenge with his game on all surfaces. Novak who have to become more aggressive and front foot. He's essentially a less proactive agassi and it suits post 2000 slow...

Looked at omad (one meal a day) and fasting in the past. Cricketers and other sportspeople tend to use a no carbs for 12 hours fast when coming back from an off period of indulgence. I think u have to burn through the carbs to get to the reserves and at that point lower intensity exercise...

So did the drug authorities just test the supplements etc she gave them or did they they test a whole batch of melatonin from where she or her team purchased hers? If its the former its not a very good process as it would allow players to contaminate their own supplements after they tested...
