Thank you for the offer Dan, but I'm afraid that I will have to turn it down. Although I am very interested in improving my skills, I won't post anything with my image on it online. For this same reason, you won't be able to find my picture online (even if I gave you my name). That's also the reason that my username is the equivalent of anonymous. Again, I feel bad about turning down your offer to help me, but Some Dude's (that is, my own) rules of internet privacy and engagement (which say that thou shall not post thyself freely on the internet) are forcing me to override this great opportunity. As a lacking substitute, you can send me some videos (they could be of anyone) doing an open-up against under spin. I realize that it will not be the same, but it beats not having anything. Thank you very much. By the way, your review of the Tenergy 80-FX is sort of what pushed me towards that rubber when I was initially considering it.
Totally valid to want to keep your image off the internet. Nothing wrong with that.
There is no need to film that. A good coach could help that improve very easily. But you can also just work on it. Your old man (I assume that means father) has a TB ALC. I will make the assumption that that means he knows how to play. He could help you with that. Do a simple drill with him:
--you serve short backspin
--he pushes long to a spot
--you try to open
--then the rally is open.
You can have him push to the same spot over and over. Examples would be: middle of the table, deep forehand, backhand side. When you are solid with opening, he can change the spot at random. When you are solid at looping with FH from a long push to all those spots, it is time to start trying to loop with the backhand.
Learning to loop medium or heavier backspin will help your FH and BH improve in other ways as well.
