Took a quick look at your vid You're actually a fairly good athlete with nice footwork. Need to straighten out your backhand side. Maybe wrong but it seems you're using your forehand grip to hit a backhand? To reach your goal I'd probably take sometime off to work on conditioning and fix the backhand. You actually decelerate on the stroke and it will not hold up under higher level competition. Lendl had a similar situation as yours and worked to develop a great flat-topspin ripper (he was my model). You're big and strong so just need to work on the grip change and develop the stroke pattern. Have your gf feed you a few thousand balls and spend some qt. Signed: 6 cents.![]()
