I honestly don’t know how to position with a transferred forehand topspin during someone blocking my topspin forehand to forehand.You just bend and put the weight on the right then twist and pull up on the left.My coach says you do the weight shift fine but he is certainly wrong.Going to record my multiball session of forehand topspin.

 

[janovewaldnerstwin]

I don’t know I just put my weight on the right and I twist and I don’t feel it on the left.Honestly i have a habit and I won’t improve if I don’t start learning the weight shift.Im going to try and go foward more on the weight transfer.

It is amazing how this person never directly responds or acknowledges any of the comments made by other members, It is almost as if we are in parallel universes. We are talking to said someone, but that someone is engaged in a monologue.

Said person asks a question; some members respond. Said person moves on to a separate topic, and asks a new question. Again some members respond. Again said person moves on to an entirely new subject and asks another question.

I have yet to see a single example of a back-and-forth on a single topic. I have also yet to see said person do anything that members have advised or requested. They might as well be talking to a wall.

It is entirely possible this is a test of our knowledge and the questions are merely being asked to see how much we actually know and if there are any posers among us who say they are interested in the game but are merely here to kill time.

It is also possible that said person is a talent scout and the member who gives the best reply will be chosen for a one-year session of free coaching in China by Liu Guoliang (considering he has a lot of free time now and is surely looking for the next Ma Long).

The last thing I can think of is that said person is an agent of Adham Sharara and he is looking for a PR person. Naturally it would take an individual with a cool head and also a person who will have to show tremendous patience because he will often feel like he is working for someone who does not know anything about the game.

Nah, they're smarter than that. Neural networks at their worst have a tendency to produce nonsensical sentences with perfect grammar and structure (given a correct training set). This is something entirely different. I agree with Ranger-man on this. I have never seen him interact with anyone unless threatened with a ban. I really think that this young man's parents need to talk with him about this. This is not a healthy behavior for a 13? year old.

15 year old I think.

I actually just think we have an ADHD kid who doesn't have the patience to read or write and simply is just posting whatever pops into his head. Has he read any of the responses that would help him? I am not sure. [emoji4]

I do know I sent him 8 different PMs before he seems to have figured out how to respond to me. [emoji4]

It could be a troll messing with us. But I think it is just an ADHD kid who is used to things like instant gratification but does not know how to listen. [emoji4] Until proved otherwise, I will try to help him even if the kid is totally ridiculous.

TwinGhost: nobody can answer your questions without seeing what you are doing.

But I am thinking that the real answer to your question is practice.

One more idea related to practice:

Ever tried to play tennis? Even if you were hitting a tennis ball against a wall, it might force you to use the weight transfer you are talking about. Because in Tennis you cannot hit without power from your body. I know many tennis players who transition to good TT strokes because of prior training in tennis.

Also, boxing, punching a heavy bag would help your body learn the same weight transfer. Tennis would probably be better for you though.

But most of what you are asking is stuff that will just come with quality practice. And your head seems to have what you should be trying to do a little wrong.

And, again, we would need to see footage of you to know what you are actually doing.

Without footage, no amount of talking will help.

I know for god sake and I don’t have adhd here’s the video https://streamable.com/pnk0d I know the elbow is going past but I’m warmed up rn.Its just my weight shift

 

[janovewaldnerstwin]

any advice? There’s the video

 

[Ranger-man]

Ok now I am convinced that you are not an alien from Mars. Look, a lot of us are old enough to have kids older than you so I think we are entitled to a bit of ribbing.

Anyway, I think that is a pretty darn good video. And you are not half bad, not at all. You do seem to be tensing up just a tiny bit. So it would be good if you can mentally train yourself to stay relaxed. Your left arm is also tense and you almost flex your wrist at one stage.

You are taking the ball at pretty much the right time too, very close to the top of the bounce. Nice footwork too. Your thighs are a bit skinny but I think they will fill out. (told you, some ribbing)

Personally I would move the waist a bit more and the hips a bit less. This will put less strain on your knees. But I guess at your age that is not a problem. It certainly is for me haha.

I think you have a very good coach, so work with him. He seems to know what he is doing. And yeah, I think you don't have adhd, but hey, that comment got you to reply to us, so it worked! Yay!

Meantime, the girl practicing behind you is not having any fun at all.

TwinGhost: [emoji4] The video is good. Don't worry about this. Practice will help you get the right thing. If you didn't do anything and just kept practicing, it would sort itself out.

In this video you are doing a lot more right than in your shadow videos.

What you are actually doing here is that you are trying a bit too hard and consequently the arm swing is a bit too big for what you are doing and that is causing your hips to tighten and they end up timed late. The hip movement is not quite enough. But better than in your shadow videos. But your hip isn't moving till after the ball has left your racket.

The tennis FH thing, hitting a ball against a wall with a tennis racket and a tennis ball would actually help your TT stroke. Because the main thing actually is the timing of the hips and the hips being a tiny bit more but not much. Definitely not exaggerated like in your shadow videos.

so shorten arm length and twist my hips and body a bit more for a well POWERFUL forehand topspin shot.Also check match pls and I’m 13 Carl not 15

 

[janovewaldnerstwin]

https://streamable.com/01l1q match play.The obvious thing I do is that I make the same serve I need variation.Pls feedback on other thingssssssss!

 

[janovewaldnerstwin]

I’m gonna show serves too

Sorry. 13 makes more sense with how you behave.

Just keep practicing. It will happen on its own. You just need a lot more reps. Or try to do a tennis forehand with a tennis racket against a wall for an hour one day. That will force you to learn how to do it.

You are decent enough. You just need to keep training and playing matches.

You could also practice receiving serve. Serve receive needs practice. But it seems like you are developing fine to me.

 

[janovewaldnerstwin]

how about my loops

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

how about my loops

When you pass a ball to an old man, you need to take your time and have the ball get to him.

Your smash on the high ball has the body in it.

Your loops are fine. Stroke may be a little too big because your reset is a bit slow. When a rally goes more than a shot or two, you are not ready because of the slow reset.

But your form is fine. And all of what I see says that you just need time practicing. Lots of multiball like what you are doing in the footage with your coach. And the more match play you do, the more things like serve and receive will improve.

I don't think you need to make a video of you serving. We can see the serves in the match video. But definitely practice serves any change you get.

Serving is one aspect of the game that you don't need a practice partner to improve.

 

[janovewaldnerstwin]

I’m gonna post shadow looping so u can tell if I’m making my loop shorter

Practice it. Watch yourself in the mirror when you practice. Don't worry about showing footage of shadow strokes here. No need. So far your strokes in training and match play are better than your strokes in shadow. Which simply means practicing shadow looping with the footwork will help you improve your strokes.
