    Thank you for feedback! I watch the vids of myself and on the serves I am consciously trying the short pendulum motion (right elbow up, almost no backswing at all, as if the broom stick was there a la Brett Clark) I still have some of that backswing and trying to stop short after contact instead...

    KEEP AT IT! Not sure if this will help you, but I jump rope and visualize myself as a boxer jumping rope. Although I'm old, slow and heavy, jumping rope helped my footwork from being anchored to at least be a bit more mobile in my game.

    Last night Saw K playing Mark Berg (NL has posted a one of his matches vs MB before) when i got to the club, immediatedly i called next and went to change. Came back and a little surprised MB lost. He seems to have a tougher time with mostly defensive players like K and another member, T. Have...

    Oh yeah, you play at SPIN. So yeah, it is strange those 2 got to you. I neglected to mention in addition to a weight room at my club, there's an Olympic Lifting area. The O-lifters after their lift generally just let the weight drop... LOTS OF NOISE! Ah ok, that makes sense. Yes, we have 1...

    Looking good Sir! Your motion reminds me of what 42andbackpains showed me. For now, my rocket serves are not like your/42&bp's motion... i close my racket ... something i will work on, but this will be sometime way later, working on too many things now LOL Thank you as always for your videos.

    I'm sure you know of my club, LBH, not sure if you ever played there. Coming from the relatively quiet Wang Chen club, it was a total shock for me when i joined LBH in April. People walking to and fro to the weight rooms. People waiting to play next on some tables will literally be within 3 feet...

    so much easier to quote one post and reply and move on ... i did that a few days ago and Archo called me out for quintuple posts, so lately, i have been trying to post one reply and multi-quoting ... hit send too fast and then edited in the other reply bad joke on my part ... neglected to add...

    Sir, what is 'YG' ... i've been away from the game for 30+yrs and not up on the current terminology. Domo arigato gozaimashita Sir. In that spirit i say go for it only because you mentioned it. But generally i would say don't do it until you get halfway decent with the new setup More power...
