Pre Season Training & Matches

since you are a tall guy i thought i'd post this video for you that was promoted to my on youtube.
here is a 2m tall guy and you might have a look at his style and his forehand stroke (which is quite short and compact). Perhaps there is something to take away from him for you

ye those are good. He def plays the FH like I am trying to learn atm. Big difference is he doesn't use his forearm at all it's almost always at 90° and he gets the entire power from hip rotation.

He also likes going back. I kind of stopped going back but want to go take that double jump stepping back and then still attack the ball. Other than that he probably has trained that shot millions of times I wonder how long I will need to implement that in my game. Hard to copy someone who goes all out kind of the opposite playstyle of mine. I block much more. Do you know what TTR this is?

Actually looks doable if I can get off atleast 2 to 3 good training sessions

Feel like as long as players get spin in the ball the technique is less important. Feel like players with more stiff arm often get a stable stroke since they need to move the body in the stroke. Think this work good with some kids, force them to have arm still then they need to learn to use the body.

Feels like the pound the shit out of the ball all the time and they play good. I do think it sometimes looks better many times than it is.
Serve, return, short short, placement and variation can get you very far and do not look as cool haha
Believe players like Waldner, Truls and samsonov are good at this. Do not think they look much better than us when they do the play in with counter, block and loop but are really good at the stuff that do not look as cool.
