College Vs. Professionals

[The Baseline]

Whats the biggest difference between the top satellite players and the top college players. Ive never seen the pros play live but watching these videos, how do you seperate a guy like alex clayton and a dustin brown. How do these players get seperated. To me most of the top college players hit just as hard as the top pros on the ATP Tour. It also looks like the top players in college use too much energy and when you watch a pro match the players look very smooth in movement like federer on the court.

The pros have a lot more weapons...serves create winners more often, winners are hit, and less UE's.

And it also looks like you answered your own question. The smoother the motion, the more energy you can save and the more weapons you have.

Like the difference between college, minors and pro baseball players.
