Great post!

This. I was struggling with a death grip but the last 2-3 weeks, I have begun much more relaxed. Two things are working for me: 1. I had a FH grip with only my index finger on the rubber and my thumb on the handle. Because of this, I had to stabilize by holding the handle. During matches, this...

Just me but I would love to watch all matches from this angle! You really get to appreciate the speed of these athletes.

I do have a BH vs underspin that is forward-oriented so that's good to hear. Can you say more about the throw and its sensitivity to spin (for serves esp.)

I am currently playing on a commercial HL5 with AK47 blue and H3 Neo 39 OS on the FH. I feel pretty comfortable with the setup overall though I feel I am missing a little something on the BH (it could be my own technical deficiencies). The AK is also just disintegrating and I would like to...

Yeah I just sanded it a little bit; feels more comfortable now but next training will tell me more. Have to still keep practicing to have a more relaxed grip

Currently working on a looser grip, hopefully that either leads to a natural lowering or at least stops the pressure. Otherwise, might have to put a lower grip on the already long list of fundamentals to practice lol. Well try with the band-aid first, thanks

Thanks! I figured sanding might be an option. Have you heard of any non-sanding options?

Hello everyone! Currently using a FL commercial HL5 and been really enjoying it. I have also been trying to fix a very tight hand grip and have seen some really good results by (a) adjusting the grip (b) taking racket off between points. It's a slow process but it seems to be working. One...

Does anyone have experience buying from prott.vip? Want to get a few things and not sure what the tariff situation is currently?

Yeah I am trying to train so I can react more. The only part where I am training to allow thinking on either technique (for practice) or tactics (for serious games), is either before receive or serve. It's good to know, not to fear the instinct!

This is very useful., thank you. Yes, I do drop my hands during the rally AND stop breathing lol!

I have a weird question. Whenever, I train single shot sequences (third-balls, multi ball pushes into loops, etc.), I am generally intentional to the point I do feel like I am thinking very briefly during my shots. The other day I trained some patterns, especially FH 3rd ball open up - opp...

I might be mistaken but I think Larry Hodges once explained this was how Waldner kept the height of his short serves so low

Hello everyone! I came across this video and was a little confused by what Fang Bo means by inner and outer arc. What I am getting is that in the outer arc, you have to: (a) extend the shot - I understand this as hitting more in front so the red side of the more visible (b) Angle of the...

I guess the fault was allowing my partner to hit full rein; I have become decent enough to do backspin open-up drills (where opponent pushes FH or BH) and so thought I could do topspin serves the same way. Big mistake! So what I am getting from all these helpful responses, maybe it is still...

This kind of question is right up my wheelhouse because I really get into my head thinking about the opponents, I might be playing. A few things help me (I definitely do 1 and 3 all the time): 1. Larry Hodges has always talked about finding the balance between Strategic vs Tactical development...

Usually, whenever I train third ball attack (or open-up), I do backspin balls. Since I serve fast topspin occasionally, I decided, I wanted to practice a third ball attack but with a long topspin serve. After a few sessions of it, I am not sure if this topspin serve 3rd ball variant is even...

A fun point at the end of the FZA Yan An match. Great to see FZD back and smiling during a point

This is a pretty intermediate-player feedback so obviously, take it with a large pinch of salt. There is body rotation and for someone who hasn't played in a while, the foundations are all there. I'll reiterate @job59 's comment. Even though the body rotation is there, it just feels like the...
