Also I did some shadowstroke practise to understand how I come doing this closed to open racket angle. I am still inexperienced when it comes to changing technique but I think it will help me understand better to do the right one if I make myself clear why this old one is bad and what happens...

I know what you mean but I played against a few 1680s already. And I am confident in what I am talking about. My rating is still not true to my level according to my opponents who faced me so far. They say I should be way higher. Even yesterday I lost to a 1700 and he said I should be atleast...

Yesterday I played my 2nd tournament 1st Round: Alexander Härle 1678 8-11 / 6-11 / 8-11 Very tough opponent to start it off. Lightning was bad in this hall too dim. Also my first good opponent who has a deceiving afterstroke in his serves. I got mindfucked during the game questioned my eyes...

I also agree it feels like I am so so so close of unlocking the next stage with the topspin but I gatekeep myself. I miss just a few puzzle piece. Like so much is building in me up that I know once I overcome this (also mentally) I know I will make 300TTR jump atleast. Not that I care about...

Well I wasn't really going hard on analyzing before 4-5months ago. And this was the outcome terrible technique late hitting going hard from closed to open arm pulling back on backswing etc.. And now I overthink after the game yes but I need this. I learned the theory a lot it just that the...

you mean for the fh at 6:11? Also on the bh FZD is squatting down but not using any legs upwards. Anyway on the bh I can lift the ball easily. Fh looks more problematic because I just go horizontally up only. I would like to learn to loop forwards aswell. I just don't see the right timing. I...

When I miss my loop against sidespin I feel like I haven't gather any information. I still don't know how much backspin or topspin or if it was puresidespin. I also immediately forget how far I looped upwards. and if the opponent can vary the amount of spin aswell it's gg for me. This is why I...

that last paragraph is also huge. Because I don't have umph in my shots I defaulted to slowy spinny shots in the past and this is my habit now. Even yesterday I hit some shots parallel to their fh some were too slow even though it would have been ok if it was faster and maybe even spinnier. So...

I posted my match videos from yesterday in the other thread. Should I take the same approach as the girl in the 2nd video?

1st Match vs Robert: He served very well. I guess the fact he serves in a way where I can't properly read the amount of back/topspin makes me question my stroke and I default to not looping them in the beginning. But why? just try out use first set as a playing ground.. At 5:37 I did a serve...

Oh ok interesting I had that info in my mind that I should never start backswinging before I dont know where the ball is going. That's why I had the blade in front. But whar you do makes sense and I am pretty sure I do it aswell when I train with a human partner actually I will try to film...

Yeah I agree I prob just defaulted to the topsheet part since I could generate a lot of spin atleast but could not penetrate the rubber enough to get good consistent faster loops. So my strokes all look more upwards. Anyway about going back idk. As a tall player and watching other tall players...

Its a combination of having slow recovery after a shot, being able to watch the ball longer and deciding for the right swingpath, and I am mostly further back and get a shorter ball instead and in matches slow anticipation. In trainingsmatches I do remember hitting earlier timings not always...

Yes good point. I think I need to do this with a roboter. Right now my arm controls the swingpath racket angle and swing speed too much. Its made up by me/ upper body. Legs are mainly there to make my hips rotate thats it. I see WCQ and even these chinese players drawing a natural circle when...

noone can be 100% sure about this but it looks like it helps with your mentality at least. So no reason to stop doing it.

I do think it feels more comfortable but the trainer back then said it's more inconsistent if you wanna put more umph in my shots. Then peak timing is most consistent. But if I just want to hit a "slower spinnier ball" then yeah I can go later timing. I am working on my backswing. Right now my...

Would have been nice to timestamp the video from FZD so I can rewatch it. But I know that video anyway. so this is against backspin I assume. I don't know it looks like if I would loop more in the front my ball would land more in the net. I am also very conflicted about this. I will have to...

I still stick to my point. As I have seen now there are multiple ways unlike what you said how dima loops is the only way. Hell I just learned how the elbow acts at different timings. Again technique is just a framework. I am happy if I can produce a good shot with my technique and if its...

How on earth is FH TS from FH corner then looping again from Middle a bad drill? Or you mean it's too slow? I am practising opening my racket angle and not changing my racket angle. If I go any faster I will default to my old technique. I also didn't understand what else you were trying to...

BH Topspin against backspin: I just realized comparing my stroke online (just compared my bh topspins against BS side by side) that I loop as if I would flick it over the table. Basically I lift my elbow up and also my elbow is ahead of the racket. They loop with elbow behind. I have to try...
