Hi,
i know you guys love to watch people making themselves the clown and showing the amateur footage with fails, so here is my gift to you. I know it feels good if one sees somebody struggling more than oneself does
I have reviewed a game that i played in training today and overall i am kind of satisfied with my forehand topspin ratio with 21 Topspins made, 13 went onto the table, 10 points scored directly, 3 went wide, 5 of them caught the net. I lost that set 17:19 (and tbh i have made at least 3 serve mistakes so could have easily won if i was more focussed).
I am only concerned right now with the ones that went into the net and wonder if there is something they have in common. To me it looks like i dont catch the ball properly and even though the racket goes nearly vertically upwards, the ball does not follow that trajectory and drops into the net on these occasions.
I usually take these balls quite late, too late, but that does not seem to be the reason, because it does work more often than not.
Originally i wanted to edit the video so that we see a few successful ones from the positions where it fails most often and then display the failed attempts, but unfortunately i am too stupid to use DaVinci Resolve and it was not that easy to move the clips around, so you have a few working loops sprinkled in with the 5 occasions where it did not work.
Perhaps i am operating at the lower threshold of the rubbers sponge and fail to activate it sometimes, so that the ball does not catch properly. Equipment is Nittaku Acoustic with Loki Arthur China.
One thought is that i dont recover to neutral stance after serve properly. This is fact, but is this the reason ? Should i recover into a position a step farer away from the table to be able to hit the ball in front of me and properly go into the ball?
Opponent does not loop or block at all and is a safe pusher and smasher (with Korbel SK7 as blade and T05 Hard and Dignics 05 i think). Let's not talk about how this setup it totally unwise for him, but at least at times he gets quite good backspin into some pushes with it.
