That's the one! Apart from a few 2 man leagues (which are far more popular in Summer, and generally not considered to be as important), all of the leagues I know are 3 man teams with 9 singles and a doubles. Some leagues have different scoring systems, but most simply count the number of...

In some ways, I'd rather be at 39% as you can see the improvement year on year. For me, the only real positive result would be 90%+ Anything else just feels like a solid season (with the potential for it to be a bad season!) I'm at a level where I won't improve unless I really step it up and...

We had our penultimate match in one of the leagues I play in last night. 21 matches in the season (8 teams in the division and you play each other 3 times). We have just clinched the Premier Division title with 1 match to go! CHOOOOOOOOO!! It’s probably the toughest league I play in, and...

I know this is predominantly an "equipment forum", and the responses are always going to try and justify 1 percent here and 1 percent there...... But really..... Are you in a strong enough position to utilize the different strengths and weaknesses of each blade (considering how similar they...

Agreed, I much prefer the printed look on UA type t shirts. We are getting it embroidered on the jacket to match the embroidered UA logo (and the jacket is a thicker material).

Do you have a pic of what the shirt looks like? I'm 90% sure we'll go down the printing route as the shirt is very lightweight.

Hey TTD family! We are getting new shirts (and jackets) for next season, and have the option of our logo being printed, or embroidered. The upside to printing is comfort. That’s it. The downside to printing is how long it’ll last before the logo starts to peel off, and the fact that the...

Nope - For some reason they've geo locked it!

Hey Matt, What sort of level do you play at? Do you have any practice video of you playing?

I managed to get a bit of practice in yesterday. Although I'm terrible at practicing drills and we usually hit for about 15 mins before doing some match practice! Here are some of the points from my first partner. He has short pips on his red side. It was the first time I'd ever played him...

There is one big reason stopping those shots from being a classic 3rd ball attack...... And that is the fact it's the 5th ball 😂 The 2nd video would have been hard to attack as it hit the net on the serve return. But the first video was there to attack if you had a confident backhand loop...

Don’t neglect those legs! 😂 Getting low is a weakness of mine (especially in matchplay). When I really focus on staying low, my shot % improves dramatically. I’m 6ft 4, so it’s a long way to go! 😂

In an extremely rare turn of events, I actually had a little practice tonight rather than a league match. I think the last time I practiced was before Covid, as I'm usually playing one or two league matches per week, and don't get other time to play! Anyway, I just wanted to put a little video...

There is a lot more to unpack here than how it appears on the face of it. The biggest question has to be..... Is the rating relevant? Are you overlooking the style of the opponent? I can beat some very high ranked players, and then lose to lower ranked players (who can't beat the high ranked...

I'll reiterate a little of what I said to Gozo in a DM. It all comes down to your strengths. From memory, Gozo was quite backhand dominant a few months ago, so Der's advice would have been spot on. However, from recent videos, Gozo is much stronger at initiating the attack when it's on his...

The ability to really hit good loops against backspin is to start low, and explode through the ball at the point of contact. But that's a very advanced technique really, and not one that many people can do successfully. I still think you should continue to focus on spin and not raw power. As...

Excellent! Personally, I find watching that so much more valuable than seeing you hit balls at a million miles per hour! A couple of pointers from me. If you want to improve, you need to hit shots. There were a huge amount of your serves that he couldn't get back (usually pushing them in the...

Yo yo Gozo..... You learn more from your losses than you do from your wins. As a player looking to improve, it's a great position to be able to look back and analyze where you can improve. However, I think it's very easy to highlight numerous issues, and then the advice just becomes...

Do you have any video of your matches? I know this will divide opinion, but I really feel people underestimate match technique, in favor of "perfecting" the little things when practicing (with humans or robots). There are a lot of players who would look amazing on camera - Fantastic forehands...

This entirely depends on your height. The taller you are, the wider your stance should be to give you a balanced footing when getting low. Generally speaking, the lower you are, the better (within reason!) But if you struggle to recover from a low position, I would find the lowest position...
