Lower your contact point by 2 inches. That is all you need to do!!! Forget about the advice to pronate, or change your ball toss positioning or shoulder alignment, you seriously do everything well. Topspin 101: Brush low to high! You cant brush low to high if you have a high contact point...

I'm not sure which video you are referring to but I don't see a solid forehand loading phase in any of your shots in any of your videos. I'm a super tough critic though. Prove me wrong and string together a FH rally with a nice early prep, good knee bend and explosive weight transfer through the...

Of course not, you're just following the advice given at 0:55 below. Just the "tennis of the future" right?...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYYc-bn5vz4&feature=plcp&context=C34e3344UDOEgsToPDskKCmA82RN3U_qjqtIzo4ibJ

I highly recommend this drill for developing good rhythm as it requires solid technique, specifically transitioning smoothly through the trophy pose: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVh7tsa2R6I

In response to the original post, out of curiosity why have you decided to teach her to hit with two hands from both sides? I'm not putting you down in anyway? It's clear she is coordinated but what made you decide to teach her to hit a 2 handed FH and do you plan to progress to 1 handed FH...

I found that a full extension of the arm (that explosive snap movement) caused the most pain and although I avoided serving when possible I was able to do 70% intensity serving with a lower ball toss.

When you play on hard courts I always feel I need to focus on my footwork more as I can't slide into every shot and hit a comfortable open stance ground stroke. I recommend learning the power step: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLbx8piNgM&feature=related and the mogul move...

Make sure you practice your victory celebration as well. Can't have one without the other!!

OK thanks Armsty I must have missed that footage. Pioneer: There are more easterns out there than just 2. Delpo is using it now I'm sure and Fed gravitates between E and SW.

During his match against Ferrer, Andy sent his racquet off to get restrung after the first set (I think) and Jim Courier (who was commentating) said that Murray requested it to be pre-stretched and strung at 57 lbs. And on the TW ATP gear page (...

Love the style and results especially. However, this vid seems to made exactly for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6hqLXc-8Lo&feature=related I don't agree with everything this guy says but the tip in this video was spot on and may help you as well.

I would include some core rotation exercises such as: bicycle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqoD0Bdggto or russian twists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6hCPkVWIl0 Tennis involves lots of core rotation so it can only help if you train those muscles. Also don't neglect the lower back...

Maybe you could analyse her game yourself, go out and have a hit with her, and then make some suggestions to her coach. For example, see the longest rally you can have with her hitting FHs only then BHs only from the service line, then a full court rally from the baseline (or as far back as...

Banana an energetic food?...... My suggestion would be to up your carb intake (breads and cereals especially) as this is our bodies preferred energy source, plan your schedule/workout, set goals (long and short term) and workout with a friend to add some competitiveness. Also make sure you...

If I blend protein with milk then I make it before the workout and store it in the fridge and by the time I'm done it has settled down. Can't stand that frothy, air like texture of a fresh shake. I usually throw a handful of oats and some honey in with vanilla whey protein and low fat milk...

Delpo won the US open after he cut his hair.... so each to his own I guess. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Juan_Martin_Del_Potro_2007_Australian_Open_R2.jpg/399px-Juan_Martin_Del_Potro_2007_Australian_Open_R2.jpg 0 slams...

Put some pressure on yourself during practice. This can range from doing a push up for every error (forced or unforced) to playing points where you start with with the score 15-30 in your opponents favour. Another way I train my students is to simply feed them relatively easy balls and they...

A good friend of mine just completed his masters on supplements a few months ago and this was one of his findings. It's also not listed in the ingredients. Plastic can be made from cellulose after being chemically treated. He's also not the first person to tell me this. Sorry but no source on...

I personally stick with whey protein isolate, aside from the higher % of pure protein, many WPConcentrates contain cellulose (crushed plastic), obviously its not harmful but the thought of it sets my stomach off more than anything else.

Here are a few to really get you blood pumping: FHs only- no attacking shots allowed so the aim is to hit neutral rallying balls that move your opponent side to side or wrong foot them. Same rallying intensity as above but you must hit alternating groundies. So if you hit a FH then your...

Looks like it to me: PHT/gut, rubber band and tourna overgrip that wraps above the handle.

A drill I use a lot is to get the student to stand on the baseline with their feet pointing forward, about shoulder width apart. I feed them forehands and they aren't allowed to move their feet at all. Before I give feedback or tell them the point of the drill I observe a few shots to see if...

I find it funny where you look at the best situation the volleyer found himself in was just after he hit his first volley down the line (the last rally they had). Why didnt he just approach DTL from the start??? Not a great tip for rec players, not a great tip for advanced level either.

I'm still not sure what you claim is the advantage to hitting it off centre? More power? More control? More spin? Obviously the string bed will pocket the ball less and the trampoline effect wont be as effective in creating power or spin. Not only that but hitting closer to the frame causes...

You didnt but Oscar did!!

I may not be a pro but I have played at about the highest level below pro and believe me when I say YOU CANNOT INTENTIONALLY HIT BELOW THE SWEET SPOT CONSISTENTLY. There are several other posters on this board who have posted videos and demonstrated that they play at a reasonably high...

Yeah I'm pretty lucky that i stepped in a pot hole twice on a terrible rugby pitch. Mate I had my 2nd reco just after yours (I read your postings) and I've been ahead of you every step of the way. I'm 3 months 1 week in and currently free squatting 130kg, running normally over 15km without...

I am a lucky recipient of 2 separate ACL reconstructions within the last 18 months. Both times i returned to competitive training after 3 weeks. I was able to sprint at about 70% by then and I had no problems with agility. There are probably a few out there who doubt my honesty (or common...

Contrary to the view above, I believe the second option will benefit you more. During the abbreviated motion you appear to hold too much tension in your right shoulder, although I doubt it will ever cause you pain. Staying relaxed and loose will allow for a smoother motion using gravity to...
