Wow, that JZK vid is incredible, I’ve not seen that match before. Something that struck me was that an open up vs what might be half long + heavy backspin is going to be a different shot to a counter loop vs a block or topspin - are the principles of core + circle the Same for both with just a...

Oh, I'm a junky for those vids - amazing to watch and learn from..

Makes perfect sense, thanks! I was watching Ti Longs video on just that for shovel serve a few days back where he says exactly the same

I’m excited to start that work - body and circle makes sense. I have struggled to relax enough to really swing freely in the past but feel it needs, along with dynamic footwork, to be a big focus!

Got it - I’ll work on that. Thanks 🏓👍

Thank you NL, that’s very helpful indeed and I can visualise what you mean clearly. My only question is how to “contain” this sort of larger, looser swing in terms of compact recovery?

Hi Brs, Thanks - great feedback! That makes sense re my FH as I was struggling to work out the issue aside from the “hook” shape. Serves - I’m more solid on the BH then the shovel so as you say I may not need both. Reverse pendulum wins me a lot of points when I make good contact but it’s...

Der, may I ask for more insight into your comment on my FH lack of penetration. I feel like I won most of my points in this match (vs all 3 opponents) via my FH loops and being aggressive on this wing. No doubt they have a long way to go but what were you seeing?

Thanks Der, that all makes good sense - those are all things I am working on with my coach but a completely different thing to put them into practice under the stress of a tough match! It is always very revealing to see yourself and compare it to how you think you look when playing and accept...

I am loving this thread and the way it has evolved as it is so relevant to my journey of improvement. LDM7 has asked me to post some video footage from one of my matches, which until last night I didn't have... This is from my 4th match of the season in Winchester league division 1 - we have...

Hi all I wanted to see if any forum members in Sydney can recommend somewhere to play when I visit in late November (weekend of 26th/27th) - I am staying in the Chippendale area of town. Thanks in advance! Peter

Hi LDM Thanks for asking - yes, in fact it sold last week! Cheers Peter

Rakza 7 is a great choice - I use it on my BH and love it for its balance of spin and speed. Thinking of trying it on `FH too it’s that good…

I am keen on the red pieces - I have sent you a PM.

Maybe worth looking at Rasanter C48 or even Dignics 80 or 05

Hey LDM I’m no coach but would say that service looks solid and certainly service start position. Focus area - for me I would say service return looks like a real opportunity for improvement. Keep at it 👊🏻

Hey LDM Im playing local league (division 1) and so far have won 5/6 of my matches and played well. I have some tougher ones coming up though so don’t expect to keep that %… Also having coaching once/week with a top UK player he coach, which is fantastic. Keep well mate!

These are great focus points and very similar to what I am working on too!

That’s good to hear - looking forward to hearing more as you use it Duke

I hope you like it!
