That's because you went and changed the options since I posted.
Well, you know how untrustworthy we two-handers are.
Or, possibly, I read your post and went to make sure the video worked.

Wow, this is awesome the thread got huge. I only have access to outdoor courts right now. Haven't had time to post. We had two blizzards here and I've changed jobs. Been super busy.
I'll try to post video soon. I promise.

Is that slice a push stroke or a pull stroke?? Maybe you and Tricky can elaborate on your brilliant push vs pull stroke theories. That might just be the technical advice people are looking for on their one handed backhands. Personally on my one hander, I think about pushing my racket face cleanly through my contact zone out towards my target so I guess I hit push strokes. I'll post video of my wta push strokes soon. Until then, please talk as much crap about wta push strokes as possible. Hopefully Tricky will show up too and I can learn all about push vs pull stroke theory and revolutionize my game lol.

Been looking at the thread some nice backhands. Clearly Tennisballa's is the best. It's like watching almagro or wawrinka out there. It's looks very textbook to me. Tennisballa how do you teach the one-handed backhand?

interesting stroke, are your the guy near the camera? That's a very extreme grip you've got going on. A more conventional grip might make return and approach shots and switching to your volley grip at net easier. You might find it easier to make clean contact with an eastern grip. Even extreme topspin players like henin don't use a grip quite as extreme as yours. Just my two cent.

Which page is this video at? A combo of Almagro + Wawrinka definitely piques my interest.

I was curious. "Federer converted just four of 25 break point opportunities against Djokovic." 4/25 = 16% FWIW

Posts per page is a configurable forum option so it will be on a different "page" depending on your settings.
Unless someone deletes a post it will forever be post #59 though.

"Ummmm... what??" Is exactly what I though when I was reading the brilliant push stroke vs pull stroke theories that took over the forum for years and probably ruined a lot of peoples games that came here for advice.

Thanks for that. I'm seeing some Tommy Haas in that backhand.

If posting my video somehow offended, or upset you, I apologize. I was under the impression that you wanted people to post their videos.
I will just chill out here quietly, and wait for you to as you so eloquently worded it "put up, or shut up". Whenever you get around to doing either, no rush at all since it is your thread. I completely understand that you are in no hurry to do either.

Been over a month and the OP has yet to put up vids of his 1bh. Of course, it hasn't stopped him to giving advice to others. Now, it snowed, he moved, changed job, whatever, but if he didn't put up why didn't he shut up until after he posted?
I'm confused.
Should the title of this thread be changed to : Put up or shut up, except for me.

Glad I missed that, however I've heard about it. That's about as close to it as I wanna get. Its right up there with the physics theories on here, underspin serves and talking about polarizing your racket...whatever that means.

If you stick a barbell on the tip of the racket head you get more spin. Really.

Funny coming from you who won't do any math to prove you can do the calculations.
ignoring arche3's trolling for a minute....
the most useful 1hbh, imo, is hit with the continental grip where the middle and ring fingers are firmly under bevel 5.
a simple lift with wrist leveraging these 2 fingers can produce tremendous spinny passing shots even off the most vicious slice approach.

Yea, I'm the guy closest to the camera. I'm not sure what the traditional grip is for either fh or bh =p. I feel like i'm just trying my best imitation of what I feel most pros do, no particular one. I am glad my fh looks better than a year ago, probably more in the last couple weeks! My back hand feels a little stronger too.
I think eastern might be what I use for slice? Thats usually what I try to use on approach shots on the bh side unless I can see a weak reply back and I have the opponent stretched out wide.

Best pickup line for engineers and non-engineers alike is the same.

I like your takeback because it looks like a slice take back, from the arm constellation, very tricky sir....

All thoughts and comments on my backhand, or any part of my game, are appreciated.

Isn't that a little judgmental from someone who is admitting that there forehand has been weak and floppy (something like that) and now likely risking TE by looking to employ a tighter grip on the stroke? I doubt discussion on here has ruined anyone's high quality game, but quite a few have been helped in one way or another.

i think it looks pretty good.
take this as a compliment - you should be a 3-star at a minimum with your strokes?

I actually have more confidence going crosscourt with it, but I was trying to keep it to my hitting partner's forehand so the points could go longer with his favorite shot.

i think a good 1hbh should have alot of acceleration.
to have alot of acceleration depends solely on the forehand's acceleration.
of course all the basic of a 1hbh needs to be follow.

if the stroke works for you then there is no need to change it.
but i do recommend dropping the right hand pressing up your chest on your forehand. this limits your follow through which limit acceleration on your backhand.
it works for andy murray because he uses 2hbh but imho 1hbh needs acceleration

when can we expect your backhand video to be posted?
What do you mean you agree? That you would not use a credit card? C'mon this is getting ridiculous. arche3 has some issues we know that, and there is no reason for being obsessed or paranoid like him.

Thanks for telling me how to spend my own money.
I'd rather spend it on private lessons. does this bother you? Are you getting a cut from John's website? Probably not, so don't worry about it.
Instead, why not use your net sleuthing skills on figuring out who FFool is.
You misunderstood. I am not saying whether you should take lessons or not. I was asking why you "agree" that private credit card info is not secure with whoever arche3 mentioned. There were 2 parts to your post - I was replying to the first one.

I am not saying it is not secure for sure. I am just saying that I am pretty wary of who I give my card info to on the web, and the topics discussed in here recently don't reinforce that notion.
It's not worth the risk to me (just to me), when I can pay a top 400 player cash for private lessons.
OK, so you were not commenting on any particular business, but on cybercrime in general. Cool.

Yes. Any small red flag on an online business and I'm probably not going in.
I have seen too much ID theft lately. It is a huge PITA to deal with.
