I am going to break this down to show where you are going wrong Archo:
@ttmonster
Your stroke looks alright to me, and it seems the person next to you is also playing with a similar stroke, so I assume you have got it drilled in by a coach. It's not exactly beautiful IMO but the execution looks good, if you know what I mean.
If you can't see the difference in level between the guy next to ttmonster and ttmonster, something is seriously wrong. The other guy takes half strokes has a different stroke each time, sometimes he punches into the ball instead of pulling through the ball. And if you watch his connecting FH to BH, he simply can't do it and on the switch he ends up doing a BH punch because he has turned way too late. To compare the two as the same shows you are missing some key issues in your analysis.
You were talking about details of the feet with my stroke. You were talking about the depth of my stroke. Do you not see anything in his stroke? Oh yeah, that is right, you only actually have noticed stuff after other people pointed things out, then you jumped on what they said and added things that often didn't make much sense.
And as far as "it's not exactly beautiful" comment, here is where you really go wrong so consistently. You need to learn how to NOT insult people. Especially when the insult means nothing and is completely besides the point of the technique he is using.
@NextLevel
Woah, calm down, Dickens.
You still don't get how many times you have been rude about stupid things that made you look like you didn't know what you were talking about. In light of how many people have told you you need to post video of yourself and how many offhand insults about other people's technique you have made, I don't think it is NextLevel who should calm down. You should open your eyes and realize how you sound and what your behavior indicates. "Woah, calm down, Dickens." "It's not exactly beautiful IMO...." People could interpret these responses as trolling based on other comments.
I read it, and I suppose I understand the point being presented. I guess I should find/force someone to just do serve -> loop drills with me and get it on camera. It didn't suddenly become easy when I said that, though, so it might take some time.
Here is how a mature human being would have answered after the first or second time you were asked to post video and the reasons WERE EXPLAINED: "Oh, okay, I get it. Thanks. It may be hard for me to find a way to get video footage. But I will do my best to work that out and post as soon as I can." Which is very different than how you just said what you said and it is only after say, 15 times that people explained in detail why YOU SHOULD PRESENT VIDEO.
I'd comment on your post, but there's quite a lot to talk about.
A backhanded insult with no content. Even if that is not how you meant it, that is how it comes across based on your stubbornness on the subject.
Do tell me more about that "CNT fanboy" coach, though, because I certainly have my own "CNT bias". Perhaps I am making some of the same mistakes he has.
Perhaps there is an admission of some mistakes that have been made hidden in here. But NextLevel was clear that in all the critiques by the coach you are calling a "CNT fanboy", he includes video footage of what he is talking about so his meaning is clear.
Sorry dude, I know you feel you are being put on the line. But you don't realize how easily you insult people as though it was okay. "It's not exactly beautiful" after, "Your stroke looks alright to me," I think you need to find a copy of this book:
How to Win Friends and Influence People
by Dale Carnegie
And see if you can figure out where you are going wrong with how you communicate with people in this written format. It will actually have real information on many places where you are going wrong over and over again. It sounds dumb. But it is actually a great book and it could actually help you in ways you would never even realize.
"Your stroke looks alright to me": you couldn't think of anything good to say so you said something vanilla "it looks alright."
"It's not exactly beautiful": but you really felt you needed to have something bad to say even if the something bad doesn't actually mean anything based on the context of the comment.
You didn't notice anything about his feet? His moving in and out? His connecting from FH to BH. The spin and arc on the ball. The snap on his forearm? His balance while moving? How relaxed he is? How about the depth of his stroke?
"Your stroke looks alright....It's not exactly beautiful". Wow. You really do have pretty perceptive skills of observation going on here. You have demonstrated them so well. Thanks.
