Of course you are an amazing coach Tony, been following your posts for some time. Was there anything you learned from these coaches and players you don't mind sharing with us?

Hi there TTHopeful
Thank you for your compliments

Yes, every time I visit a different team/base, I always tend to pick up new things.
They forever work on new techniques, different forehand execution, back hand execution, service return etc

From the naked eye, it doesn't mean much, but on that level, every 0.1% change could make a big difference.

Difficult to really explain in word, and I didn't want to take videos (would look like spying, as I was good friends with the coaches and went into strictly "closed door" training)
It is pretty much using angles and touches to spin the ball differently.

I also saw this with the choppers there
