Been working a lot this past week, but was able to squeeze in some FH practices at home. I've developed a new way of incorporating FH changes, something more systematic, and I THINK I've got it, to the point where I cna just focus on consistency now.
Basically what I realized is that for any adjustment I do to my form, I need to start with my feet, then go up step by step through the legs, hip, and such until the part that I'm adjusting. This is because most adjustments will change the timing, and timing of everything needs to change at the same time in order for the new form to work. For example, if I'm trying to flare out my wrist a bit more, the racket would be a bit behind where it normally would during a swing, then I would need to delay the timing of every other part of my body, or else the whole weight transfer process breaks down.
If I don't do that, my brain will subconsciously realize that the shot won't work, and then adjust some random part of my activation sequence to make the shot land. I then try to fix that during the next shot, only to mess up a different part, and within a few shots everything's messed up and I miss the shot.
On the BH side I've been using a very up the down kind of stroke for loops instead of just looping up and forward. That was a pretty easy adjustment, it's just so much easier to fix anything on the BH side given how much of a blank slate I started with. Turns on I needed to wait slightly longer and try to hit the ball at the falling phase instead of trying to catch it at the peak.
