i suggest you people stop arguing with Gregory, he is either heavily trolling or senile.
But I win almost all tournaments.
They are not mutually exclusive. I win tournaments, troll, and am senile.

It is really a great pleasure to be on that forum. Now I know that I dont split step(and I should) so I am late to many balls, I am a pusher(and I shouldnt be), my wrist is not loose( and should be), I have a shortened reach on backhand and forehand ( it is another obstacle), I dont play with open or semi-open stance(and I should), I use elbow to rotate the balls(and I shouldnt), I dont accelerate the head of the racket to great speed(and I should). We should add that my right wrist is injured and....and I win everything. If it is all true then it would mean that I do something what gives me a great advantage. Something nobody does. What is it ?Aspergers by the sounds of it

If I knew this rule I wouldnt be here.You know the first rule of tennis.

I should lose but I win.
Split step is unnatural so it cant develop naturally. This jumping like goat is a senseless waste of energy.The really interesting part is that Greg is actively and consciencely trying to satotage he's own game but subconsciously splitting with good timing and hitting open stance. It sure doesn't look like he's had formal training that's bleeding through, so is he just a specimen athelete? Can a split step really develop naturally?

If you dont want to win like me then you may jump like a goat all the time.Give it up GD. Nobody here is buying your nonsense.
So Becky beat Cindy because she didn't split step? Got it.Cindy got beat by Becky because she didn't split step
They still can be mutually exclusive. If you're senile, how can you be so sure you have won tournaments?They are not mutually exclusive. I win tournaments, troll, and am senile.

I am really happy that we all established that split step is a sensless waste of energy. I dont split step and I win almost all matches. It is your choice. If you want to win you should stop this ridiculous jumping like a goat.
I am still waiting for a wild card from US Open organizers. I think that they dont like players using two handed forehand and they like players who jump like a goat.@Gregory Diamond winning all the tournaments? Great i will cheer for u when you win the aus open next year

You can see goats jumping here.Greg, can you post a video demonstrating what you consider useless goat jumping, preferably someone from the pro tour.

Are you talking about those coaches and players who cant play two handed forehand ? They know everything about old tennis which was taught 15 years ago. They know nothing about modern technique.Oh yeah, now we see your point. The SS is totally pointless and obviously a waste of energy. Professional players, competitive junior and collegiate players, and top coaches are so clueless. Why bother learning from them when GD has all the wisdom to impart that we'll ever need.

Like @JohnYandell said earlier in the thread, you would adjust your split step based on your age and level and GD's split step is probably about right for him. He's absolutely wrong in saying that a split step is unnecessary for everyone and he also does a pretty good split step that he re-branded as his own method for moving his feet.

Yeah, but how many Polish ITF tournaments has Federer won lately, huh? That's right: zero! So GD must be correct in all he says.

In central Poland nobody beat me for over 2 years. Federer and Nadal know that here they cant win so they choose Roland Garros and Wimbledon where there are a lot of jumping goats.Yeah, but how many Polish ITF tournaments has Federer won lately, huh?

I've found that just bouncing gets you set well for the next shot, without the need to jump.
Try it, keep bouncing until it's time to move.
If each player is jumping like a goat then this error is not important. But if I dont jump and my opponents jump then I win all matches without doing anything. I dont understand why they like to lose. This stupid jumping is justified only if we cant foresee where the ball is going but in most cases it is quite easy. To jump for 2 hours to get to 2-3 additional balls is not wise.I came across a very good coach a couple of years ago who hit with an excellent 2-handed forehand (but did not teach it to very many of his students). This guy had played at a very high level for a Division I college in this area a few years back. But.... he was a goat jumper. Oh well, nobody is perfect.
I’ve also had some students who hit 2-handed FHs... but they eventually all outgrew it after a couple of months. And they learned how to goat jump as well. I guess we have brainwashed them. They may never do well in Poland but maybe they’ll have a shot at RG or Wimbledon.
