Howdy all,
I posted a training update from Taiwan last week. In Taiwan there wasn't a ton of nitpicking form, the mindset there was multiball and train for so many hours and it comes naturally.
Out of curiosity I posted a video of my forehand form to reddit to get input on what to improve. Reddit left me with more questions than answers as every point of feedback people would argue with each other about. Some of the things argued was my stance being more parallel instead of right left back, wrist being loose versus fixing it. Another common feedback point was a tight shoulder.
I haven't had a ton of playing time back in the states yet but from the one day I did get to go before getting sick I would say I didn't feel like I was losing any points due to form issues, if anything I was extremely confident and hitting way better spinnier and consistent than I was earlier this year.
So I guess my questions are
Anything being done well?
While the nature of getting feedback is to improve, nitpick and optimize. I think negative feedback loops can get a bit draining. Any praise or things that are done well that should continue? It can be good for others learning to point out things that are being done well.

If the links do not work I will update the post later today when I am home from work.

So I guess my questions are
- Are there major fundamental issues in my current forehand form that must be fixed before I continue to play and drill like this and reinforce bad habbits?
- Are there any minor optimizations that can be made?
- What actually matters to change versus what is nitpicking and constantly adjusting form instead of focusing on playing.
