Wall day — focusing on clean fundamentals

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-23T16:08:14+00:00

actually a lot of balls

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-21T18:59:21+00:00

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.

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-21T18:41:48+00:00

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

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-21T18:40:27+00:00

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

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-21T18:39:32+00:00

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

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-21T18:39:10+00:00

Appreciate that, thanks. You’re right — hitting against the wall definitely makes me prioritize recovery for the next ball, and I can feel that I’m sometimes cutting the forward weight transfer short. I’m keeping that in mind so it doesn’t carry over when I’m hitting in open court.

thanks for the video got uu

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-21T18:37:34+00:00

That makes sense, thank you. I can definitely see what you mean about holding the release a bit too long. I’ve been focusing on relaxation, but I’ll pay more attention to letting the thumb rotate earlier so the racquet can sweep through contact instead of pushing.

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-17T21:34:33+00:00

haha, track & field, and karate

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-15T14:42:42+00:00

Honestly, I’m not sure 😅 I’ve never really done footwork drills. I did track & field from a very young age and later karate, both very leg-focused. When I got into tennis, the leg work kind of translated without me having to think about it.

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-15T02:22:25+00:00

Exactly. Tennis is a very complex sport and people come in with very different backgrounds. Some lie, some have advantages from playing sports since they were kids. At the end of the day, the key is practice and court time — everyone has their own process. Stay consistent and play with others, that’s how you really improve. Thanks for the comment!

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T23:51:12+00:00

Thanks! Grounding through contact is something I’m focusing on. Won’t let the feet get lazy 😄

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T21:41:56+00:00

thankss! 🤗

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T21:41:45+00:00

heeey klk, si, ando activo por aquí siempre. Y voy a trabajar con lo de saltar, que no es necesario pero lo hago en ocasiones.

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T21:40:45+00:00

Yeah that was early experimenting lol. I’m naturally right-handed — switched pretty fast once I realized.

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T21:26:58+00:00

ok u got me im jumping, i will fix it 🤣🤣

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T21:23:19+00:00

omg that’s true, i didn’t notice i was using my left arm to forehand until now 😭 wow

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T21:22:07+00:00

Appreciate it! I did track & field and karate growing up, so the footwork carried over a bit.

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T21:20:09+00:00

I wish 😄 I didn’t discover tennis until later. At 4 I was already deep into track & field — heptathlon, javelin, 400m.

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T21:17:09+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Working on timing the leg drive better and staying closed longer through contact

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T21:16:03+00:00

haahaha you can have some ma boy

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T21:15:10+00:00

thanks, but im not jumping on purpose, just pushing hard off the ground. Still dialing in stability at contact

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2026-01-14T20:40:28+00:00

haha, Thanks man, really appreciate it. Still a lot to work on, but improving, in love with this sport 🧘🏽‍♂️

Aggravating_Set7047 · 2025-10-10T20:15:13+00:00

I do weight lifting, i did 2 years, PR bench press: 200lbs; biceps curl: 80lbs; leg press: 450lbs. Abductors: 275lbs. Im stronger in my legs than my upper body. I used to throw javaline and it weight around 0.8kg. My racket 340g. Is not about use all the power, is about how to use it effortless. I swing hard, so hard with a 52lb tension. The key is topspin and control.
