Since you have a coach, no point commenting but you need to focus more on topspin vs block or topspin. Your stroke is backspin oriented and you often try to drive the topspin Ball or swipe it. Learn to start by trusting your spin. It gives you options.

They are all in the same class but using the same rubber on both sides has done advantages as you will understand your stroke and contact depth on both sides easily so I would recommend that.

Yes. You are also 100% correct that a coach will teach a beginner to use it well, and in general, it will support certain good habits but it will always make it harder to get spin and speed but the control compensates. Many coaches just teach students how they were taught, BTW. The most...

Nah - DerEchte one-liners are more suitable.

It would be interesting to see his blocking technique then. Or even his serves. But you may be right - maybe it is more the manipulation than the generation.

This happens a lot, but there are ways to make it change. One of them, and probably the most important, is to not do the same thing when you become really good. It's one of the reasons I will hit with anybody at any rating level at any time as long as I am not preparing for a tournament match...

I was very lucky that a player told me this when I was 1200. It helped me get opportunities to hit with many better players over and over throughout my playing time - I was a 1200 player hitting with 2000 players just because I could return their strokes over and over. I actually wrote an...

Yes, sure, learning to read and play better players is part of it, but the fastest and easiest way to get better with the least amount of playing time is to increase your ability to read, generate and manipulate spin. Even penholders with short pips are spinning the ball - spinning is as much...

Now if you could actually hit with him for 15 minutes instead of playing with him, you would learn so much more with so little stress. But I guess the handicap keeps it interesting for both of you.

Nah - there are two types of people in the world. You are THE ONE!

Boogar, every thing looks good. But you have to work on increasing the friction between your bat and your rubber and taking that to the promised land. You need to trust your spin level. You don't yet.

Make your videos public - publish them ;).

But the problem is that you don't really appreciate how bad you are - these guys are beginners as well. That's why people laugh when you post certain things. And yes, it includes free insurance. Since that doesn't exist.

Getting spin is not that easy, grasshopper. I know 1800 level players who play with minimal spin. They are just very used to working off their opponent's (top)spin. They are usually kids though. You still need another 4 years of hanging out on the webboard before you can get your online...

I know, Burkina Faso is your real country and Kukamonga is your real name, kowabunga. I'm sorry. You have a Chinese forehand. That says it all...

Kowabunga, can you just chill out? You need to be like your fake blades - fake being happy about being on this forum sometimes.

OP can use H3 Neo effectively. I can use H3 Neo effectively. 1200 Rated Knife (his nickname) has commented on how much he likes H3 Neo. And H3 Neo is not traditional Hurricane either. Using it effectively is not the same thing as saying that it is what you should be using or it is optimal...

Kowabunga, It's okay to answer a question without being snarky once in a while you know. Try it sometime. You just might have a good attitude wash over you for once.

What are you saying here? Are you confused? I thought you had just proven that this is all about the Chinese forehand....:confused:

Man, all this time, I had it all wrong - ttmonster just opened my eyes! Serena has a Chinese forehand! That solves everything!
