What level.have you played or coached at? Is this how your coach taught it to you? Just curious.

Yes. It costs less than an hour of cheap coaching.

This is what unless taught as well. Unfortunately it seems to me that some of us like to dispense advice without ever discussing our qualifications so that advice can be placed in context.

Again people forget when Dima was complaining about this system because it would have ranked Boll 44 in the world or something. Timo played enough to get ranked #3. Dima is not complaining about that anymore. Now we have Ma Long fans complaining because their man cannot remain #1 playing once...

Timo Boll would have been world ranked 47 or something had this system been implemented in January. He is now world ranked #3. He played more this year than he ever has. Why isn't anyone discussing that? Why are we all focused on Ma Long who played less this year than he could have, low...

That's not how professional tours are built, that is how rating systems for performance measurement are built and the goals are different. Anyone can track player strength by putting results into Ratings central. But what we don't want to see on a tour are how strong the players are - what...

Why tackle short serves first since you are hardly going to see them in a match at the level most of us play at?

T2APAC helped him a lot.

If someone serves to the short forehand from the backhand corner, the serve is usually short and high or long and loopable. I just wait for the ball to come long or ttry to flick it at first. It is when they prove that they can get it short with quality that I then start trying to push. Or...

This is not true. All Wimbledon does, and they publicised it later, was take the last three years of playing at Wimbledon or in grass and use it to adjust the current ranking and they have actually toyed with not doing it anymore as grass has now played more similarly to other surfaces. In any...

I thought about this and get many of your points but think you are underestimating the importance of the racket angle regardless. It is a fade shot as well.

Share some photo.

Merry New Year.

Thanks for this. He is basically teaching a high level deceptive forehand fade shot.

Bump.

Tibhar Inca blade - it's a fairly light but fast Hinoki ALC blade Evolution MX-S 1.9-2.0mm both sides - hard sponge, soft topsheet heavy spin rubber. Some say it plays like a Chinese rubber. I know what they mean but it really plays closer to a hard sponge Tenergy 05. I have other blades and...

It's just more accurate. Gives you another tool for promoting and denoting players etc. Or balancing our league teams the way ratings are used to seed players here.

Unless they are reporting measurements from a calibrated scale, it is all subjective.

FZD has more difficulties against lefties throughout his career but that is neither here nor there as he beats them with preparation. The Shang Kun match was clearly an anomaly as he played in the doubles slot. But he has never lost to Boll or Mizutani for example. As for fairness, of course...

What I find interesting is that all people talk about is how LGY chokes but they will never discuss that he was down 4-6 to FZD and came back to win 8-6...
