A gorgeous morning. It feels right from the get-go
However, my serve is entirely a different story.
Can’t get rid of waiter tray!
My forehand and backhand need to hit early, which is to hit on the rise.
My habit, however, is hitting when the ball is going down, which needs to be changed.
- one serve motion that looks right – birds in the sky
- the warm-up
- I hit my phone
- forehand
A comment to the following backhand video:
Correct: your grip and backswing is ok and you stepped into the ball ok (although the double hander can be played open stance with good hip rotation).
Could be better: with the time you had I would rather see you come another step forward and hit the ball on the rise or the top of the bounce. You lose a lot of power and spin by letting the ball drop.
You’re a touch slow to meet the ball and with an open face. You are giving away power with that swing. Most players with two handed backhands hit a lot of flat balls but just close the face a touch, hit a little earlier and you’ll find more power and more topspin to keep it in.
Otherwise, it’s a good backhand and I like your footwork.
