I did not mean that you should change grip, just stated that it is easier to do with ST. Maybe you can try sanding it down in the middle?

I also forget to mention that i think it would be wise to try to find a place to train with a little bigger room/space. It must be really hard to learn to loop with the body if you are of a normal heigth and nearly impossible if you are taller than that. Close to the table it is hard to loop...

I think you can hold the flared looser, since the ends are bigger. While it is easier to change the grip with ST since it is not as hard and steady in your hand.

How much do you really need this shot? i feel that you level is not crazy high so your playing partners proably do not loop extremely hard. I think you can come really far with a good placed block, so they need to move and they will proably stand wrong and will have a hard time to loop well. And...

I think they need to be more stable and steady in general. More the side of the shoes, so the foot can not move as much. I am swollen around my toes and the upper side of foot, like on the foot.

Thanks for teaching me english and giving examples of great shoes! :) I will have to go trough your suggestion and see what i think. I think it need to be some shoes were i can test them, otherwise it will be difficult to know the size and how they fit.

I would say that it is almost better practice to play against the Basement players. They move bad so play alot of strokes. So it is more irregular practice for you. You Will beat these players when you become better. Try moving the legs more since the ball comes everywhere it is important to...

It is cool that you have your first penhold player. I would have trouble knowing how they would hold the racket, seems like you can hold penhold in some different ways. But the strokes do not differ so much do they? Do you still teach the old backhand punch with penhold players or do you only...

But maybe it is just about the sponge hardness and not short pimpe and inverted rubber. It could be that the inverted is faster and is easier to passive block with since inverted often have softer sponge compared to short pimple rubbers, or atleast those i have tried and of course there are soft...

Yes i totally agree. Played with short pimple alot so i understand What you are saying. I Do not know if you have played alot with short pimples But in my opinion short pimples is almost always slower and less bouncy compared to inverted. I find it pretty difficult to turn my racket around and...

hey! i recently got injuried after playing a tournament. I did not do anything special, but the day after my foot was swollen and hur very bad. Went to the doctor today and she said that i have inflammation in the muscles and pinned(what is it called? swedish:klämd) nerves. The reason i got...

I agree that it is slower to block with if you do not do anything, since most short pimples in my opinion is slower than inverted. But i agree that if you are blocking active like punchblocking then it is very effective and fast.

Okay cool! well done! what was the keypoints that made the different do you think? do the stroke in slowmotion? Many times i think the challenge is not to teach technique or change their strokes but more to get them to be motivated, listen well, have focus and fight hard. Atleast with...

Yes of course it always needs to be fun, but they also need to better a year later otherwise i feel that i almost have tricked them. yeah, it is not good to drill something in them, but i think it could be possible to explain stuff and do shadow training and still keep it rather fun and i think...

Maybe he uses a bag :)

I am interested that you go for consistency first then the technique. I think this is common and that we also do it in my club but i am starting to change how i see it. If we let them play like they want and do not focus very much on the strokes i think they will learn the wrong kind of strokes...

inverted is pips in and short pips is pips out. There are more grip in inverted so it is more suited for looping. Short pimple have less grip, so it is difficult to loop with and is not so spinsensitive. Because of they are less spinsensitive it is easier to return serves and smash through spin...

Yes, adult players need more help! They have not so good opportunities. What i have understood is that Larry is a very good coach with long experience so he is proably very good for the beginners. But i think that many coaches for beginners is nowhere near Larrys level But often more some...

I agree that he proably knows what he talking about and that you do not have to be a good player to be a good coach. I think alot of the coaches become good at what they do because they actually stop their own playing career early and start being a coach instead. I just thought it was...

I think it hurt more than helps if you change to much equipment. Sometimes you also need to change the technique if you change equipment. Think it sound strange that i takes a month for Timo to get used to his racket. I think he would get used faster than us humans since he is so good, but...
