Forehand Drive Technique Help? Hi guys, I started to play when I was 13, which I played for fun and got better with my own habits. Now that I am 15 and joined some training sessions recently I found out my habit was really bad for the original technique so I tried to correct myself, and...

After much ado, the WTTC and Ishikawa bashing, I got around to subbing this tutorial upon a member request. This tutorial is really long and it took a lot of time and effort. If you find it helpful, I'd appreciate it if you will consider chipping in for a new piece of H3. Thank you.

Hi again! As a beginner penholder, I'm wondering if there are any differences, big or small, between forehand strokes of penholders and forehand strokes of shakehanders. Is there a certain micro-adjustment that advanced penholders use to make their forehand more powerful/consistent? Does the...

For the forehand topspin as a beginner, should I have my elbow bent at a 90-degree angle throughout the entire stroke, or should I start with my arm nearly straight?

After practicing his reverse sidespin forehand punch against Simon Gauzy (~6:24 of this video)... ...Timo now has the confidence to use it against Dan (~7:36 of this video):

A nice reminder of the basics of FH loop.

Are there any tacky rubbers that would be good unboosted? Some recommendations I've seen are Hurricane 8, Hurricane 3-50, Skyline 3-60, and Hurricane 3 NEO Provincial. Has anyone tried any tacky chinese rubber that they find is good without boosting? What would you recommend to use for an...
