Hey fellow tennis enthusiasts!
I have recently began to really browse these messageboards and have found a wealth of invaluable information...all due to people like y'all. I think, like most of u, I enjoy the threads with vids of people hitting. I'm impressed by the skill level in the vids from certain players like TonLars and J011yroger; thanx for showing me how it's supposed to be done. I'm even more impressed by those of us with more modest skills posting their own strokes to be critiqued. And finally, I appreciate all those of you who are willing to share their honest opinions about these vids; i learn something new everytime i come on and read. In fact, i'm excited to "take advantage" of all this enthusiasm. That is to say i'm gonna man-up, put my pride aside and post a few vids of my own. Unlike some others who simply post their vids up for all to enjoy, i am looking for as much criticism as i can handle! Of course the constructive variety would be more appreciated.
Im also NOT gonna give a whole bunch of excuses ahead of time as to blunt some of the harsh criticisms i may get. When these vids were filmed, i was neither injured nor out of shape. I hit how i hit and these vids are just about as good as i can hit them. I apologize for the camera angle. These vids were made for me only and i thought this angle would allow me to see more; i already know which shots i missed and which i didn't. Also, i didn't have a tripod or enough room to set the camera up behind me.
I have recorded a series of videos a couple of years back that i have saved on a few cds (some still to be found). Some of them i have handy but they are all backhands. I would like to defend my hitting partner ahead to time. He is a 5.0 player but you'll see that some of his shots land short. Well in his defense, he held back a bit just for me. Earlier, i was having trouble putting his shots back in play. Catering to me disrupted his timing a bit. Anyways, here are the links to my backhands...i will post up my forehands, serves and volleys when i find/film them.
