Don't expect too much, but here is 4 mins of wobbly footage of the Chinese Men on their last Day of training before leaving for the London oympics. 20/07/12

In answer to a few questions. -It is Leeds Uni. -I don't think it was Kong, but I wasn't really taking that much notice. -I did the filming. Here is another clip from Youtube Fred is back there from Tuesday to Friday training 10am to 5pm with some members of the regional squad. Sadly there...

He does play against backspin, and in most cases he is able to flick the ball. He got a bit of a shock recently when someone he had always beaten easily had developed a really heavy chop serve and he managed to beat Fred. We are currently looking at increasing his backswing and topspin on his...

I don't feed him multiball, but he has multiball sessions about twice a week with the regional coach.

I've posted it everywhere else so I might as well post it here too. Watch and discuss.

We are encouraging him to relax more in general when playing, so this should all help.

I would say, it is quite possible that he will be sneaking the odd game off me here and there before he is 9 in April if my current elbow injury doesn't sort itself out soon. Any sort of quick wrist movement causes me pain inside my elbow so I am severely restricted on service and on attacking...

I think most young kids have to have a certain style to be competitive. Fred has a style that he needs to have which I suspect may be similar to a young Timo though I haven't really compared the two. It is probably similar to most kids who have been successful at that age. As Timo has grown then...

I look in on most of the furums most days, but my days of answering most posts and getting up to all sorts of jolly japes are behind me. With 3 kids running around I just don't have the time any more.

He is very good at copying what he sees. There are some aspects of my game which are OK for him to copy, and others which he would be far better for him to avoid. As long as his shots and movements link together well, his recovery to a neutral position is quick and he doesn't stray away from the...

Until he gains strength, he will work more on close in reaction play rather than power looping. In general it is better to look at the womens game rather than the mans when looking for styles to copy as very young kids don't have the strength to play like men.

2012 is nearly 2 hours old, so here are a few clips from last nights play. Sorry about the missing sound on a couple sections, not too sure what Moviemaker was up to.

I try to reach my arm around, but it doesn't come out the other side. I think I must have short arms.

Fred seems to like it, and it seems to suit his game, so we are really happy with it. Personally, I like my Calibra on my T-4. My current sheets are about a year old, but I can't see the point of putting my new ones on until my arm injury gets better and I can play properly with it again.

He is using a Stiga Optimum Plus blade with 2mm Calibra LT on FH and 1.8mm Calibra LT Sound on BH.

Fred does train under some very good coaches.

To be honest, I am injured, and can't do a lot more than block at the moment. I have a bad elbow which is restricting my wrist movement and preventing my normal followthrough on both FH and BH and also restricting the spin I can get on serves. It has been almost 2 months since the problem first...

This was us last night.

I don't personally, but he usually gets one or two multiball sessions from the regional coach every week.

Me and Fred Yesterday.
