    Forehand landing a little short (consider changing grip?)

    Hey! I've been playing for around 9 months or so (hitting 5-6 times per week), and I've been trying to improve as fast as I can; however, an issue came up in the last month or two and I have no idea how it 'started.' When I first started, I had a modified eastern and was taught to hit...

    Critique my serve

    Below is a link to a Youtube I uploaded of myself earlier today hitting some serves. I apologize for the lone camera angle, if people think i should take a different angle for better critiquing, please let me know and I will. I'm happy to have your help.

    Move from 16x19 to 18x20 racquet?

The thing that gets me the most is he hits, HEAAAVVVYYY balls, right at the baseline, they're...

    A year later, my serve still sucks.

    Trying to break down my serve and rebuild it this past year after 10 years of bad habits. It's proving tougher than I'd like to admit; I'm getting close but I still feel so far. I decided to get my friend to film me because in my head I feel like I'm doing things that I'm not and I'm glad that I...

    Can't hit flat serve

    Hello, some time lurker here. I decided to ask help here, because my serve is not progressing. My serve has always been rather weak. I never had a real flat serve. Its basically always some kind of dink inside. However, I can hit this crazy slow sidespin serve. Demonstrated in the...
