U can go lick the bootlaces of that farmers league or see how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop. haha.

Waiting for Tony to say 2 or 23 things.

FCB Barcelona fans can kiss off, there is only ONE FCB. FC Bayern - THE Deutsche Meister. 10 consecutive times and leading the charge for the 11th.

How to control grip pressure before and during impact has been something I have been talking to LDM7 about a lot throughout our time training over the months. The grip can absorb energy (spin and/or pace) and can rebound energy... a FIRMING at impact can add to the transfer/delivery of energy...

For the public record, I can handle anyone getting torqued off if there is a reasonable reason and the person is sincere and being real. This was a professional disagreement. One item I did not spend much time was LDM7's footwork and movement. He showed a much better level of seeing/moving. He...

LDM7 today showed a lot of improvement in multiple areas. He furthered his execution of setting the strike zone and taking the ball in the portion of the strike zone he needed to make to ball go to the placement he wanted more consistently than before. It made a world of difference to him when...

Hi IB66, On LOW power shots, like say serve receive or a FH flip over the table, this is excellent and effective technique. You have leverage and deception. Those who can do this with the right timing and step in are simply evil. Timing is not terrible difficult and the control is not...

Hi Wrighty, I gotta agree with brs on your FH topspin. You are moving the lower and upper arm together like it is in full inter-axel lock 4x4 mode. At low power impacts, this isn't terrible, but when you are trying to do a FH topspin explosively like that, you are adding big time strain to your...

Hi Wrighty, Without even looking at any vid, you get hook spin (combo of corkscrew and side with top) by getting the ball a little inside your strike zone and impacting the ball a little to the side and coming across the ball. When you see a short vid of someone doing a straight loop, the tip...

Then again, you could be exactly like the Russian Pastor I have been trying to train the last year plus... he been a ball slapper over 40 years and those habits die damn hard. He IS however, a dog that can learn new tricks, but as a coach, the results are too damn slow to bear sometimes. having...

U outta try 3.0 to 3.5 TENNIS 2-3x a week to help ur FH elbow painz. If this is too short a message, damn the word censor to hella.

Ironic as FUK that I sometimes use old school soft (think 35 on esn scale or less) Nittaku Hammond on BH and boss at the endline with a high emphasis on SPIN. some prominent 2500+ female coach inTX used Hamond since the ice age and she had GREAT results counter punch and counter topspin off the...

We have a Church elder who is likely 1300 TTR trying to do exactly that - LN - LP on BH trying to touch block with pips and crush the rest of the world with hiz FH. He is highly interested, it saves some foot work and energy. He did NOT have and easy first week last Friday trying that out.

Dominik... while that (C-Pen with LN - LP in English) is POSSIBLE, it is NOT very easy to learn. Requires a really good wrist and control of angles and time. YES, I have seen sum REALLY old geezers with C-Pen and LP on BH have the most amazing touch on BH and be 1700-1800 TTR just blocking off...

Prolly be at Meiklejohn Seniors and LA Open 2023.

Your friend is a prime candidate for a not so dynamic hard sponged ESN rubber. I mean HARD sponged like 51+ on ESN scale of hardness. Calibra LT and Plus used to dominate that space, I do not know if they make them any more, but a rubber like them is right up his alley.

There is a LARGE crowd that does not advocate to serve with heavy underspin to a long pips player, lest it get punched into topspin. I laugh like woody woodpecker on that one to disagree. Modern LPs have friction and the player still has to read the spin. Sure, more forgiving to get it on the...

Some stuff will be patterns you can get opponent into to play right into what you do well and what you practice. Another aspect is we have one kind of mind frame and thinking in the training hall, but an entirely different one in competition.

No wonder I felt you think like an umpire... like me.
