Keep practising, racquet head speed and pace comes from practice. Don't need to force it

lol... you are both right. The spin on the ball is dependent from which axis your reviewing the spin of the ball from...

So your not teaching anything, you just describing how it should work. I can accept MTM if your not teaching to deliberately pull across the body and only describing a swing path. I've always had issues with MTM because my impression from the videos and oscars comments is that that MTM teaches...

The need for Adjustment steps means your not travelling efficiently. Increasing efficiently by drills (to better understand how your own body moves) and fitness (to better enable your body to move) If you do drills to move forward and backwards, side to side, changing direction etc. your body...

Well done OP, trolled the lot of them.

lol... if you gave all the players in the WTA and ATP a wooden racquet they all wouldn't play as well... Seriously... WTF are you on about?

Short answer is no, typically replacing a racquet that your used to is often perilous at best. It takes time and effort for any player to adapt and to get back to same level. Long answer is yes, after they adjust; change their swing appropriately, there body and muscles adapt (muscle memory)...

I was referring to improvement... if you're already proficient and comfortable with an "small" head then good on you. But I would suggest that you would be more consistent and ultimately a better player if you found a larger head and more modern tennis racquet. You just need to find the right...

If you only want to get from point A to point B, Why would you buy a new Toyota over a 60-70s Ferrari? Because the Toyota is more efficient and reliable. This is the same of tennis strokes and instruction. Tennis instruction to me is based on 3 things. 1. Effectiveness - How effective is the...

Muscle memory requires reprogramming, Whilst you brain knows what it wants your body takes a lot longer to accommodate these changes...

Lol, when I see someone hit with a prostaff 6.0 or equivalent I cringe. Great racquet in the right hands, otherwise a waste of time and effort for anyone else, 95% of players. Its all vanity... Sure if your comfortable with a racquet of that weight and headsize and are winning matches...

Maybe because the kinetic chain and pronation causes acceleration to occur.

There are different type of whip cracking motions as he demonstrates on several of his videos as well as the one you linked. The one specifically linked is an overhead one? this is the one that uses a sharp pull back motion by bending the elbow to generate the crack? I agree that he changes...

I wouldn't bet on it...

Yep, agree its a huge debate between the swings paths (modern and linear). There is not an easy explanation that can satisfy everyone and its too difficult to write, it has to be shown. /shrug

Lol did you quote yourself for truth??? That's Lame.

Yet he achieved the same thing that Del Potro did in 2009? Its not amazing, its an accomplishment sure. But nothing to write home about, its been done. What is more amazing is he had to defeated both Nadal and Federer to capture the title. My point is... so what?

Question is, if the motion is actually a pull back or momentum. My take on on the issue is that its momentum and the limit of the limb. It is not a conscious moment. The "Whip' is in my opinion is a miss understood concept, as in most circumstance to create a whip effect and the crack that...

He doesn't roll over the ball, he pronates.

if you killing shoes within the 6 month bracket, find shoes that have warranties. Get 2 shoes for the price of 1?

Lol laugh now, but you don't know till you ask a medical professional.... hyperhidrosis Example; 6 hours on court time a few weeks back, my shoes were damp but not soaked. I did change socks once, but the socks or shoes were in no way soaked.... I don't know anyone that "soaks" their shoes...

How often are you using these shoes? Firstly sounds like she sweats a lot in her shoes if they are getting soaked. Does she have a condition that may need treatment? Otherwise try talcum or some kind of power that absorbs sweat. Secondly you are over thinking it, I specifically by shoes that...

As most people have already said... Lateral stability. But if you don't want to pay the tennis premium you could also get Basketball shoes for hard court. Most will not have the toe protection but will be durable enough on most hard courts unless your a toe drager

AirCast A60 Ankle Brace isn't bad, I have two; But I like the Mueller the One Ankle Brace; same support, more comfortable and more slimline. Braces are useful to give you confidence and also support; just need to find the right one.

Most of your have not considered the fact that without people like Sam, the ones that don't make it or struggle to make ends meets are the ones that provide the competition in tennis. Without those people like Sam, we wont see any variation or excitement in tennis. Without adequate financial...

Three things to try... 1. Pause at the top of the trophy 2. Look up pronation on the serve and practice to pronate earlier 3. In relation to 2, practice throwing and understand what the throwing motion does to a serve.

let the blisters form heal up and you will develop calluses in those areas. If you don't like that, tape the section up with sports tape so the it restricts the amount of friction. Some socks will do the same thing. If its causes by pressure to that particular area, than get different shoes.

learn to pronate on a first serve.

get replacement clamps!
