Feedback on my forehand: Mainly technique/Form

[Deleted member 25923]

This is a short clip of me playing. I realize that the quality is not good, so if you could point out any form/technique issues that you see, that would be great.

I hope I can get some better footage in the coming weeks.

Winter i do fail, but it's also your voice in the audio.

Cool, I really liked how you used the Pong sound effects for your video! (hehe)

I hate to say it but I just can't tell much of anything from that video. You really need to get something better, no offense meant.

Do you have any cheap cameras in mind that shoot video well? HD would be a nice feature, but I just need something that shoots video well.

This was done with my cell phone. I have a digital camera, but it's from like 2004, and the video quality isn't great. I can take it with me tomorrow for when I do serves.

I'm not sure what cheap is to you but if you've seen my videos all I have is a Canon A590IS - $109.00. Office Depot is also running their weekly ad with the camera at this price. One of the other office supply stores I believe has a sale on 8 GB and 4 GB SD cards.

I have seen the Tri-Pod I use for $20 at just about every chain dept store there is.

Wow those are some crisp videos too. I may have to save up for one.

Dude, you want us to comment on your strokes but all I see are jerky images n square balls.

Pls borrow a better camera.

Well, from what I can see, it looks like i'm slapping the forehand rather than a fluid motion.

all i can tell from the vid is that the camera man must have been one sexy beast

All i really saw is that maybe..if i'm correct..you could use more of a unit turn, you turn your body partially, when you can turn it more..try to turn it so your shoulders are perpendicular to the net.

Mansewerz, a good camera is the Casio EX-FS10, it shoots high speed, HD(I think HD), and good quality and it is $350. Thats not bad for a high speed camera. I dont know what your budget is though so....

Quality is good enough for the job...
Mans, you just gotta play more tennis for more years. Your basic strokes are about 3.0 level because you haven't played enough tennis to really get your own strokes and technique. Play more, hit more, and work on power against a wall, where you hit a few really hard and figure out what is needed to.....
Look at your own vids, then compare to any top righthanded pro player's. You need it all...from earlier and better recovery to shoulder turn, footwork, longer racketprep and consistent longer followthru, just hit more .....
