It wasn't. USually, the way the body is designed, it is easier to get spin and variation with forehand serves than backhand serves, but the gap is not an absolute for each person given technique. That said, after facing his own backhand serve in the TTEdge app, Brett made a comment that he...

Since you are new, you get a pass, but seriously, whip mechanics should be part of the language of this thread by now if people actually watched the videos I posted.

Nah - I am just lucky to have EJed so much this past year that I have rubbers very close to yours in stock.

Okay, fine. Since you won the competition, you get a forehand rubber and a backhand rubber. I think I can replicate but mildly outdo Baracuda.

:mad: This video is at least 2 months old and is a backspin not a pendulum - are you trying to drive me up the wall?

What kind of blade do you prefer? All wood? There is also a rubber coming and I am not against regifting so sure, feel free to pass on the blades but I am sure I have something fairly new you will like. Just need to know what you like. And you don't have to use it.

How do you think I did this? Magic?

:mad:Now I know how often people watch my videos. I have posted this video at least 3 times on this thread...

Stop rambling! If my posts make you ramble, you need to watch more ESPN.:cool:

According to my master, all strokes in TT are whip patterns, you just have figure out how to control them. Most people looking for control settle on crappy whip patterns, it is the people who start when young and full of creativity and risk taking who master the whip patterns without much...

But that's the thing - it's just a whip. If you crack a whip, this is the pattern you make. I have a better idea why you are calling it double but you don't crack a whip on the backswing.

I added it later. It was after he visited the US. I used to have a mixed bag of serves before I learned this and after I did, I developed one of the heaviest backspin serves in the state.

Did you see my or Brett's video on the whip pattern?

Yes. A balance must be struck, because being too far from the net makes it harder to get over the net and stay short. So it is easier if you serve cross court and use some sidespin. USually, though, the enemy of consistency is too little spin. If you get enough spin, the spin will often...

Common advice on service is usually of very limited value to a serious server. Most people when describing how to serve short advocate a first bounce too close to the net on your side. The most important thing a high level server told me (Brett) was to focus on aiming the ball to the other...

I have to ignore him but you don't. :p BTW, Elias Ranfeur's BH serve is a new inspiration. The main reason I bring this up was that there was a time I almost served all backhand. Brett was almost begging (threatening) me to stop serving backhand serves. Even when I thought I was serving more...

Number 6. It is the one I think that almost won the match. That shot shocked the opponent so much he lost the next point, called a time out, lost that game and the next three games, and only got lucky to win 11-9 in the 7th.

Now you know why I say memory is deceptive. But that period you pointed out was when I was on fire and I just felt I could not miss. Then it just evaporated... so I had to go back to cheap tricks and serves again ;).

Red inverted, black LP. All his strokes are played with the black side for the most part - the red side is for variation and to introduce spin if the opponent is mindless not paying attention. If he improved his serves with the inverted side, that could send his level up quite a bit - if he...
