    So in addition to adopting the Mizutani elbow positioning in order to make my stroke more tightly tied to my body rotation, I am trying to do some physical work to improve my overall strength with a focus on glutes more than anything else. Will be interesting to see how well it works if at all.

    I think he has been cleared and is going to play but you might have heard something else.

    The first serve I could get serious deception on vs good players was the backspin vs no spin combination and as my backspin serve improved, the deception improved tremendously. In general, I find that amount of spin is easier to deceive people with than the decision between top/back. I used...

    Maybe it is a mechanism for preventing a team from keeping mercenaries on the roster during the regular season without using or paying them and then unleashing them during the playoffs.
  11. Craig Bryant's equipment?

    I have a friend who received serves from him recently in the US. He said he struggled with Craig's pendulum serve more than his legendary punch serve and that Craig had a way of serving the pendulum that led you to underestimate how much spin was on the ball because the ball lacked forward...
