I have been struggling recently with what I consider a strength; my FH open up vs underspin. I was consistently late to the ball, I would find myself leaning back. It was pretty terrible, as I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong; I always record myself but had neglected to do my reviews for the last 7-8 days.

And then today, during my 3rd ball drill, my partner gave me a few dead balls which I absolutely blasted. Actually doing that kick-started a memory of what I had been doing earlier, recovering further back from my serve and fully dropping a relaxed arm next to my right leg. These were just basics. It started clicking again for me and I felt so much in control.

I remember thinking a month ago, I had advanced my FH open up to a good level and started training other things. I guess a PSA for myself and any other amateurs out there there: keep coming back to your fundamentals; you can forget it!
