Looking for some videos of 4.5-5.0 high top spin players on clay.

I am curious what a 4.5 to 5.0 level match with players who both play a loopy, spin-heavy style on clay looks like. Does anyone know of any off the top of their head?

Most of the clay videos I see usually just contain more conventional players but I think consistent height, depth and heaviness should be findable at the 4.5-5.0 level, right? Or do you need to look at higher levels in order to get that level of consistency?

I'll ask some of my players if I can video when they are back for holiday break.

Thank you!

They play with a lot of chest/shoulder/higher height groundies?

I be looking for those points where at least half of the baseline shots are higher than waist height.

Kind of like how this dude in the green shirt plays here:

I can find a handful of videos where one player is like that, but not where both players have that style.

 

[J011yroger]

Yea.

I put a recent hit up in the Modern Swing thread, high heavy is the default, both wings.

Do yoy primarily play on clay?

 

[d-quik]

Do yoy primarily play on clay

No I do not. I do have trouble with this particular player who hits every ball 6 ft high. I always struggle and want to see how that is dealt with at the higher levels. I can't practice for it because I haven't found anyone else that plays like this for 3 years to hit with.

Says I gotta be a pro member to watch

Move up and take it on the rise/ move back and hit while dropping/ fade when get caught with shoulder height and above.
What else could it be handled? Disregarding the option of high slices.

I know WHAT to do, but want to see HOW they do it.

You answered "what", but I asked "how".

You want me to describe how to move back, how to move forward and how to fade?

Neither?

 

[Curious]

Neither?

Sorry. Looking at the thread title, you want to SEE how people are doing it rather than talk, describe etc.

 

[d-quik]

you want to SEE

thats right!

too many details, stances, footwork, decision making, techniques, etc... to put into words

Me in the red hat.

Me in the red hat.

In this video, of 4.5 to 5.0 players?, the player in the white hat does not have a high level serve technique and the player in the red hat probably does have a high level serve. Frame rate is too slow, but racket-to-forearm angle does not look correct for white hat and does look right for red hat. Looked at some serves in the first 3:30 seconds of the video.

Technique for white hat on some appears to be set racket face at angle and direct it at the ball and produce a slice by passing the ball on the right side. No racket-to-forearm angle to convert ISR into racket head speed.

why only clay. honestly in the recs the surfaces don't make that much diff.
