What you're doing theoretically doesn't really affect quality because you do have good weight transfer and body movement as others have noted, so the power is there. The issue is that the extra arm movement does not add any power but instead increase your stroke length (in terms of time). So...

Here is a picture of your FH loop (9:49 in your latest vid), which is pretty typical of your FH loops. The idea here is that the arm shouldn't go past the body during a standard backswing. If you draw a line between your shoulder and the elbow, and then draw another between the shoulder and your...

First point sounds wrong, unless what he means is don't bend your waist, but FH loops usually requires loading the right leg, particularly against backspins, which results in the right shoulder dipping a bit lower. Second point is correct in a sense. ML and FZD all have the elbow beside their...

Whenever I play against Zyre, I always find the ball coming back to me have a surprising amount of spin, often causing me to raise my elbow when relooping when it jumps at me.

Yeah I figured that too, so I'm actually gonna stick with my current setup for a while longer. Adding equipment changes will just make things more confusing. Speaking of equipment, my primary coach tried out my FZD/D09/D05 setup and he said a lot of the issue with my trouble hitting through...

I had a regular coaching session on Monday, worked a lot on the BH loop, but something still felt off. Another coach watched me and had me come help him train a newbie. After that he said he notices some issues with my form and thinks he can help me fix them. I then scheduled a 2 hour session...

Everyone can beat those ranked below him and lose to those ranked above, that's what rankings are for, so you're really just describing someone who's stagnant. To breakthrough you need to identify and address your weaknesses. What one's weaknesses are and how to address them will vary wildly...

Just finished a 4 hour training session with 2 practice partners back-to-back, main goal was to thoroughly test the two new setups, Q968 with H3/DNA P-M, and FZD with D09c/D05. The basic training portion went similar to my previous impressions, I was pretty set on the Q968 combo, and then the...

Did a local tournament this weekend, had some ups and downs, overall did much better than a couple years ago. Last time we got eliminated in the group stage, this time we got 2nd! The venue was kinda crap, the tables were missing adjustable feet so they had to put books, stands etc. below the...

Yea I don't like it. You don't get the hold and release feel, the ball just pops right out. Feels like a suped up D05. I think FZD's swing is a bit too big for it, on both sides, but it's perfect for someone like Tomo.

On both sides, hence the 0:3 x2!

Sure, if it's really fast you'll just have to react with the arm, but you're not facing that type of speed yet you're still late. You're missing half of the point here. It's not just backswing with your hip, it's also to minimize backswing with the arm. Maybe a different way to explain this...

It lasts 1 month tops, doesn't seem to depend too much on whether you play with it or not. The more you loop into the racket the more you feel the difference. The blade affects your feel as well. I've found that I don't notice as much of a difference between boosted and off boost H3s on my...

You're late on FH during games because your FH form remains the same, too much of an arm-based motion. Specifically, too much of an arm-based backswing. You're kicking forward with your hip just fine during the forward swing, but for backswing you need to just relax your arm and let the hip...

It's not so much the speed that I'm against, it's just the feel or lack thereof with D05 that puts me off. BTW, how did you like the T19 compared to the various Dignics? During my hiatus I completely missed the T19 and T05H era, which seemed like they were pretty popular before the Dignics era.
