4 perfect drops :-)

It's always good to have a little bit of theory, but I assure you, as you get to practise with your new Amicus Prime, all that will be forgotten and you'll have enough fun...

I also try to train this on the robot. My thoughts so far: 1. Get really low, almost that you have the feeling you're eye level with the ball. As you say, there is little bounce, it helped me to get lower. 2. As soon as you get to the level where you just get the ball on the other side, which...

I don't know, it doesn't quite feel so. For the top-spin drills, when I am at speed 17-19, there is still room upwards to 21. And regarding spin from the robot, even more so. But I am not interested that much in getting big top-spins from the robot. Thinking about it, I could imagine trying an...

The robot has - Speed setting: Less 1 3 5 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 More You can also choose e.g. 18, in such case there is light on both 17 and 19 - Spin setting: Back -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Top - also Trajectory, Placement and SideSpin settings in the similar spirit So in that particular...

Hey du J-penner, tune a fish, das ist ECHT DER hammer. --- (Weekly H3 threads like that form the TTD folklore, don't fight it! :-)

On Amicus Expert I tried 90 balls/minute in exercise with 3 balls, 1. backspin serve 2. long back-spin 3. FH block/drive. Between 2 and 3 there is change from backspin to topspin, it worked fine. But let me say that 90 balls/minute in an exercise which involves backspin is not realistic...

The Butterfly Amicus Prime can do what you want, and the Amicus Expert can't. Indeed the back-spin produced by Amicus Expert is less than some players around me can produce. In some situations I'd wish for the stronger backspin, for example the short serve to train BH flick - players make...

This is really good!

Some unidentified circular object, with a pretty big radius, operated on my rubber. That's for sure! :-)

How/where you, and especially the dominant foot, land after the cross-over move and FH hit, decides how well you can recover for the next shot. There was this video on youtube, I can't find anymore, perhaps not available anymore. It was with demonstration, and description/explanation about this...

Are you telling me, that I can "cross over"??? No Lazer, I'm telling you, when you are ready, you won't have to!

If you go that route, I'd rather recommend H3 (neo or non-neo) in hardness H37 for start, which you can buy here.

Yes, it is not cheapest. You've done more research than initially visible, that's good. I also like your decision to stay away from cheaper blades available via ALI - here you can be really lucky - or not, and I, for example, wasn't :-). Then later when you go for more major brand - perhaps not...

Coincidentaly I practise (and practised yesterday evening) the almost exact same drill on the robot. 1. short underspin serve to FH 2. very long underspin to FH, so that I am forced to jump back 3. fast block (drive) to FH or middle And the BH side variation 1. short underspin serve to BH 2...

Hi jura, I liked Donic Persson Powerplay some time ago. At the same time, I don't have much experiences with wood-only blades. As you say, there are myrriads of choices, the same is true for rubbers, and in clubs virtually everyone plays with something different, and some older players have...

In my experience, there are differences between top-sheets of H3 commercial and H3 provincial, speaking of hardnesses H39-H41. The commercial was comparatively more tacky, more glossy (reflecting light), and softer. I am not saying better. Also the durability of H3 provincial H41 was not as good...

When the ball is coming "far" from you, side-step move won't help, you need to sort of jump there. During this "jump", when performed the way it is performed, the legs "cross", the non-dominant leg is for a moment "before" the dominant leg (dominant right for right-hander). That's why the term...

Yes, 3 T-shirts and 3 towels for 1 training. Ball wet, fingers wet, blade wet, searching for a bit drier place on towel, drops on the table. This sucks. Good to hear am not alone :-)
