All the examples where it worked was because he served too slow and not so spinny. If he really served fast long you would still have no chance with that BH backswing.

Imo it is not just the max spin to speed. Imo H3 and Dignics 09c can have similar max spin to speed ratio, but sometimes H3 spin is wildly unpredictable with a similar stroke. For eg depending on the solidness of the contact, a very similar looking brush loop with H3 can end up with either very...

With BH, placement is much more important. Usually the killer is the down the line BH switch so if you can master that (esp if you learn the non telegraphed fade version with the "opposite" sidespin), you pretty much will gain a decisive advantage which then you can use your FH and dominate them.

Yep, it is better to be conservative and spin the ball up with a short stroke against fast long serves. Even in pro matches, you seldom see them ever attempting BH powerloops on quality fast long serves because it is just way too risky and the error rates are too high. Unless the server gives...

+1 31:37 is for sure fast long sidebackspin. You dont need huge amounts of sidebackspin for fast long, just sufficient to be significantly different from the fast long sidetopspin variant. Tbh I also use this serve very often (fast long sidebackspin to deep BH), es this is a serve that will...

Even when i was literally a 'pushblocker' back in those days playing 2x H3N and literally just having a basic FH slow loop and BH block, i managed to win many times against 'pro looking' people who can do beautiful powerful topspin against block both FH and BH. Because they never trained to...

This is what everyone has been talking about in your thread. Improving FH topspin is not the lowest hanging fruit for improvement. The lowest hanging fruit is serve/receive. And these are actually the easiest to get good at by deliberate practice. For eg long serve receive training by looping...

Timing as in not how early or late you contacted the ball, but when your lower body activates vs the upper body and then the arm. The correct activation sequence/timing is lower body first, then shortly after the upper body activates, then the arm, then the wrist+fingers. Not together or...

It seems you're outputting a lot of energy from the body (which is correct) but something got lost in the transmission. I think it looks like your grip is way too tight during the backswing... it should be a lot looser, and figure out how to activate the wrist and fingers at the point of...

Great serves and FH loop, but the BH is a liability and will place a serious hard ceiling on progress later on. There are too many ways to punish bad BHs these days. Major areas on BH that require fixing: use of fingers to generate huge topspin - understanding of hip+body usage in BH, BH...

You have to use your hips to initiate all the time, even against block or in bad positions. Even if it is a super small movement it is required - and yes it should even be used in countering or blocking. Those fast FZD counters all use his hips to initiate the movement. I can see you use your...

Sorry bro, it is way too long, you need to analyze it yourself...

Slow setups are overrated... sometimes you just want big power from small strokes, because small strokes just have better recovery and better control than big ass strokes where you just lose if the other player counters your loop. A lot of all wood players claim they can produce a lot of power -...

The reason why it is slow is because you are not initiating the backswing with your hips and legs first, and also not initiating the forward swing with hips and legs first. One good way to get faster is to practice that hip rotation and weight shift on itself (without arm movement) and make it...

With his backhand serve, he is serving sidebackspin by having the wrist chopping downwards hard and then pulling the bat to the side (the true contact is the downwards chopping movement by the wrist). The sidetopspin variant is when he pulls the bat to the side to create the sidetopspin (the...

By the way, open angle can also mean heavy sidetopspin if the force is upwards. Closed angle (or more perpendicular to the ball contact) can be heavy backspin if the force is directed downwards. Ppl need to get over such stereotypes of 'open racket angle = backspin, closed racket angle = topspin'.

These fast long serves to the BH and elbow are also my bread and butter point winner serves - i serve them with the hook serve movement which imo is even worse to read than the guy's BH serve. That guy's BH long serve is good, it is fast, long, deep, and with plenty of spin and placement...

I would be the 3rd person to agree with that - it actually looks pro-like with that video.

Usually, the problem lies in the quality of your previous shot, if it was high then they will be taking an awful lot of risk trying to land the straight line shot. For eg if your prev shot was a long push, maybe consider placing it better? For eg half long push or super wide angle to the FH with...

1. Short balls require special technique to attack, not your normal FH or BH topspin technique. Most commonly with FH you 'attack' via flicks or sideswipes. On BH chiquita or the standard flick depending on your preference. Pushing is nothing to sneeze at especially if you have great disguise...
