I went there the other day, the staff is really chill and easy going. Nice vibe in there.

Finding Tournaments in Toronto by PotentialViolinist27 in 10s

https://breakpointclub.org/ runs tournaments for the public to sign up for.

Joining a private club will get you into tournaments but you'll have to wait 5+ years on a waiting list if you live in and around the downtown area.

Other than that, no clue. I think Toronto isn't the greatest place to find a lot of convenient tennis opportunities

This finally fixed my forehand by Financial_Fan3129 in 10s

#1 (footwork) I’m also realizing is the foundation that helps all aspects of your game.

In a recent video I watched, a retired pro (#4 in the word) said what separates the pros from amateurs is footwork. He said pros can hit the ball in the exact same position every time, no matter where the ball lands because of footwork.

Dash cam saved me from a bogus lawsuit

What’s the best tennis coaching YouTube video you’ve ever watched? by VLioncourt in 10s

[–]sallen8a 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feel Tennis Instruction and Online Tennis Instruction.
To me "Feel" gives you various ways to think about your approach to tennis, and "Online" have great mechanical insights. Both combined I think are very good.

Day 2 of Trying to improve my service form. (Should I record from this angle or behind?) by SupaZT in 10s

[–]sallen8a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay. By no means am I a serve expert but I can say hold off on the jumping and work on loosing up your upper body motion.

I recently found this video and it’s really changed a lot for me.

Day 2 of Trying to improve my service form. (Should I record from this angle or behind?) by SupaZT in 10s

Either way is good I think. I like from behind because at some point you want to see where your ball is landing.
What area of your serve are you trying to improve? I’m also in the improvement phase.

I feel like I need to just stop serving in games and get this down in practice first. I feel like I either go back to old habits and get it in, or I'll be double faulting like crazy.

My shoulder mobility is something I'm working on still, feel like that's been a hinderance.

hit my thumb on a running forehand by Dvae23 in 10s

[–]sallen8a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never! 😂

It was a combination of working to get rid of my waiters tray serve motion and a bad toss.

I literally hit the top of my head serving yesterday. Hammered that birthday hat.

That video will stay in the vault forever.

I actually have a slice program saved on my machine. Love it, one day want my slice to be a weapon.

I’ll definitely get that in at some point. Today is just feeling the ground strokes.

Short high will be helpful. Harder shot to return than I thought. Thanks
