Fred at 9

I've posted it everywhere else so I might as well post it here too.

Watch and discuss.

He is getting really good buddy.

Can't wait to see some competition footage. Does he have some other practice partners yet? I feel as though he will need someone who can really push him as he looks as though he really knows your weak spots. I know you had injured yourself before so you can't always attack the ball, but it'll be good to get someone who does so well enough for him to learn the change of pace, but also just to grow as a player.

awesome stuff...have you thought about feeding him multiball...would strongly consider it, important to really know how to feed it though and get him some footwork drills when feeding and build up to fast feeding so that he improves his timing of when his wrist strengthens as he hits the ball

The boy is seriously good.. He doesn't have that hesitancy whenever he hits the ball. It all seems natural to him. Utterly brilliant. Schlager Academy material?? Hmmm

He never plays against underspin ... do you teach him push/flick and topspin against backspin?

I don't feed him multiball, but he has multiball sessions about twice a week with the regional coach.

He does play against backspin, and in most cases he is able to flick the ball. He got a bit of a shock recently when someone he had always beaten easily had developed a really heavy chop serve and he managed to beat Fred. We are currently looking at increasing his backswing and topspin on his opening shot against backspin though so it won't be happening again.

He plays so quick off the bounce.. Really cool

He got timing and it is always getting better and more confident with each installment JKC throws out for us to see. He compares favorably in ball striking to some of the Korean junior athletes I get to see.
