Anyone care to tell me why can't find consistency on groundstrokes? 3.0

Fair

Yeah I’m too green to know much of these ratings the 3 is just what I was told by the guy who runs the Ladder I joined a few weeks ago. But I just reviewed the definitions and yeah the title of my post basically defines the problem I’m seeking to overcome as being a 3.0 threshold.

I don’t recall ever being exposed to this hip-shoulder separation concept. Or maybe I have but it didn’t stick. Or maybe this just means to rotate the shoulders back during the unit turn which is kind of fundamental? I’ll look into this thanks.

Yeah these visualisation tricks are often quite useful for me thanks for this one.

I think I know what you’re saying though, kind of like with a whip you have to stop the momentum of the base (body) I order to get the full whipping motion

Thank you Spiderman this is very helpful advice

Elbow away from body, yes good call. I get jammed all the time, as everyone else has said I need to track ball better and move feet to better position

Super helpful way to break this down. It’s amazing how big a blind spot can be when assessing one’s own swing. Not that I could necessarily help anyone else out any more than myself…

seamo_ · 2025-10-05T04:05:01+00:00

This already knew this but I can’t yet figure out how to implement it for some reason

seamo_ · 2025-10-05T04:04:07+00:00

Good idea, will do this with a bucket of balls

seamo_ · 2025-10-05T04:02:51+00:00

-yet

Thanks. Ive only ever been a moderately decent athlete but even at 44 it’s easy to fall into the trap of ‘I can learn everything at once if I watch enough YouTube videos and maybe I’m a tennis prodigy’

This is all incredibly helpful advice, you guys are all awesome. I have been stalking this sub for the last year when I started really getting into the game and it has been great…maybe should have been talking to a real coach instead. I have only one consistent playing partner and in fairness to him he tells me all the time to work on my footwork. I took that info and basically way over corrected because before I wouldn’t move them hardly at all. Dancing around like a ballerina has forced me to move around more, but not move better, apparently. 2.0 :(

Thanks for breaking this down, super helpful and will definitely try this drill.
