Yeah he looks like the same FZD to me. People are getting used to LSD's massive BH counter now, he needs to play better placement to reach the top.

Had a better day on Sunday at the Alameda club after a fairly rough first day back at the club on Saturday. Played some of my best matches against a pretty high level player. I carried that energy over today for a great practice. On the FH side I'm trying to combine the new passive body...

That's very true, and it's the same against backspin. I actually had more issues against low spin ones, again probably because I usually practice against higher spin ones. I had some practice specifically against low spin balls near the end of my club session today. With my recent injury and a...

So I practiced the new form against the robot today, then went to the club for the first time in a month today. Man it's different playing against different people lol. I practiced my new form some against a lower level player, played some doubles, then played against a higher level player...

Yeah I think we're probably referring to the same thing. When the elbow is closer to my body it's much easier for it to lead the racket. When I have it jutting out I can't bend my elbow enough to have the racket behind the elbow. Also, like @blahness says it's easier to use body power that...

Maybe it's a situational thing, but you see how when Liam uses power he actually brings his elbow closer to the body? That's a shot I don't have right now. I think overall it should be a fairly small change. I was debating whether to incorporate it, but I think the coach is pretty good so if...

Actually I feel like I simply can't bend my arm into my body anymore without forcefully contracting my biceps, which I don't really think should be happening at the end of the backswing anyway. When I have my elbow lower, however, I can rotate my shoulder to get the racket closer to my body...

Yeah, part of the reason I hadn't gotten around to changing that is because I see that FZD juts out his elbow quite a bit. But the coach told me that I should have my elbow at most 2 fists width from my body. I'm not traveling again until the end of the month so I want to attend some more...

Had a short practice session yesterday. The focus was on loading my right leg more and tightening grip at contact. Both improved, and overall consistency improved including in 2-pt drills. Next up is FH loop from BH corner. I noticed that the pros only have their left foot a little bit forward...

The main way to change form is more training, and less playing, especially playing right after training. To expand on this, you first need to train in as realistic of a setting as you can with the singular focus on what you need to change. It sounds like you're trying to fix just one thing so...

Had a practice yesterday, first in 3 weeks with a real person. The new FH form is coming along nicely! The extra waist rotation is almost completely gone, and the activation sequence has been nicely integrated. With the elimination of wasted motion, the power increased as well. Even my...

Nope. I was really hoping their robots would have more advanced software features, but it's actually pretty rudimentary, even more so than Butterfly's. They do update their software more often, but so far the new features have been fairly useless. The physical capabilities of the robot are...

Pretty busy with work since returning from my trip, but got another training session in yesterday. The new form is getting pretty settled in now, no longer requiring much thought. It felt natural to loop with my leg and not using waist rotation. This allowed me to focus on fine tuning other...

What's the YG serve?

Just musing a bit. After practicing the new form and thinking about it a lot, I've come up with a bit of a new approach to my "complete" BH and FH forms. On the FH side, I think the general feeling should be finding the ball with my right leg and then hitting the ball with my leg. It seems...

Hurricanes these days oxidize quickly. If you don't use protection sheets they'll lose their tack within a week. Use protection sheet though it'll keep the tack for the duration I use them for, which is ~3 months since I boost and that's about the time it's been reboosted enough that it's no...

I clean it at least once each session at the end, and use protection sheet consistently. The tack remains stable, but the grip is significantly less after 2-3 months. I play/train about 8-10 hrs a week. Grip and tack are simply two completely different things.

Just came back from a long trip, had a short training session vs the robot. The new FH form is looking good, so working on cementing it now. I was only able to get medium power single position shots with good consistency, so a lot of work still needs to be done. I'll be doing 2 positions next...

Yea I seal all my DHS blades, including multiple 968s, and some Butterfly blades as well. I also use fairly well boosted H3. I've had issues with DHS #15 sticking. Also zero splinters.

Watch Loki join those ranks :LOL:
