The changes were annoying yes, but I think there have been two benefits to the changes that some people have pointed out but others have underestimated. The first is that because the influence of spin is slightly reduced, though it might also be a result of internet spreading of proper...

He was complaining that he had a good match against a chopper and lost to someone who mostly pushed. In fact, if I had to guess, the match against the chopper wasn't that special, what probably excited him was that he managed to loop chop and get into loop vs chop rallies. But my point is that...

Not sure I agree with this. MX-S is very spinny and had a high throw on loop drives. Amazing for looping backspin. It also has a soft top sheet on a hard sponge. Yes it's blocking is good and controlled, but it is definitely heavily spin oriented. Karis is more all round. You don't get a...

Do it like this guy - jumping off the bounce backhand counter loop Zhang JIke style. http://i.imgur.com/j24D0S6.gif

Losing tends to bring about these feelings, but it is unreasonable to complain when you lose to a style you do not have experience playing. I think Der Echte wrote somewhere that there is silly idea that when someone is pushing, and not playing a modern looping game, you are supposed to be able...

The one where the racket finishes on the same side of his body as where it started, closer to his forehead. Usually, Legout finishes across his body.

I used to think French lefties like Legout, Gatien and Lebesson just did their own thing and never used to salute. But if you look carefully, even if they are good at their own style, they have the salute shot. Like look at the second forehand that Legout plays here. IF you watch the match...

It used to be like that for me, but working with Brett, I learned over time when I review the video to identify the swings I am taking at the ball, so I can tell when my swings are salute/spin and when my swings are drives/shallow finish so when I am missing, I switch from shallow/drive to...

Your forehand technique is partly at fault as well, I would suggest you look at your shot selection and see whether you are always swinging the way you think you should have swung at the ball, regardless of footwork. You seem to have at least two strokes and you are overusing the one that is...

I don't think I have laughed as hard at anything posted on this site in a while now. THanks for this.

How do you know? There is plenty of tight good technique out there that checks the boxes.

People keep on overestimating the issues with XX. He is still top 3 in CNT.

The serve is a good start but it makes a lot of errors common in reverse serves and it will be virtually impossible to add high level deception to it as is.

As was Samsonov.

Yesterday, I went to the club to do my usual coaching. I am trying to get my main student to slow down so to set the tone I had to slow down my pace and loop to him with mostly control. We are going to slow down and get the form right. I have no problem slowing things down because I sped up...

To me it has definitely been shaved.

I know it was dubious - I like it when bad pictures start rumors :p.

Looks like a ST handle viscaria too...

So does my old coach. Like I said, Archo is a pretty advanced player.

Whenever I read Archo describe his play, why do I get this funny feeling that I am a way lower level player than he is or am mostly playing scrubs?
