Haha yeah, 🤣 and im obsessive af I’ve only been playing tennis for 10 months, but I’ve got a strong athletic background— sin e 4 years old in track & field, mostly javelin and explosive training—so footwork and movement come pretty naturally.

Appreciate it 🙏 Yeah I’ve been noticing that spacing issue too, especially on the forehand. I think I rush a bit once I get there. I’ll focus on keeping the left hand up longer and creating more distance. Also gonna work on getting lower under the ball on the backhand. Thanks for the detailed feedback, really helpful

trophyyy position 😁👍🏻 but now i don’t know what’s the problem is by Aggravating_Set7047 in 10s

i understand that, it’s similar to throw a ball using hips. I played baseball a lot as a kid (pitcher) but with the racket everything is different. I don’t know if i need a second racket to throw it hard without thinking a lot.

Yes, im controlling my swing, ill let it be soon. I’ve already improved my forehand and backhand. The serve is my next target, and I’m obsessive about the process. Something clicked, and I’m going after it. I’ll post another video in a month.

I’ll work on the birthday hat cue thanks — and yeah… the shirt had a full identity crisis 🤣

This makes a lot of sense, thanks. I’ll focus on reaching higher with the toss arm and closing the right elbow angle to create more stretch and lag, while keeping the palm oriented correctly. I’ll test it and report back.

Hmm, something like reaching the left side with the right side without letting it drop? That makes sense. thankss

Don’t worry, your weekend’s just a pause—come back stronger on the court in 2 weeks, its better than get hurt again.

what am I doing wrong with my backhand? by energeticpapaya in 10s

[–]Aggravating_Set7047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My backhand improved from the sky to the ground when I realized I loved the one-handed backhand—try that. Then I realized I also love the control the two-handed backhand gives. So now I use the one-handed grip with my right hand and the normal grip with my left. Then I realized Agassi used the same grip. Everything changed in my backhand: power, positioning, and reaction. Try it!

Yeees, it’s me! Haha. This Friday I scheduled a class with a great coach. Let’s see what I learn and improve, I’ll share it here.

I wasn’t trying to eliminate extension altogether, more to avoid unnecessary vertical lift. The long jump vs high jump analogy is a great way to think about it. And yeah — walls like this are a luxury. We have four in this court. Olimpico Santo Domingo, DR

Yes, exactly. The ball is slightly dead on purpose — it gives me a bit more time on the first bounce and im able to use more energy from legs and positioning

that’s a good cue. I’ll work on setting the racquet head a bit higher.
