I think so. Call the guys and ask them about a return policy. The previous version (which I never tried) had some problems and I know of one guy who got a refund.

How do my movement and backhand look?
Also, on my forehands, my coach and I have noticed that often when I am not hitting it well I am opening up a little early and getting too close to the ball.
You can see the lack of spacing and resulting lack of extension the first two forehands of this video: http://youtu.be/5i7d0f7Ss-Y
How can I improve this?
Thank you!Last edited by eaglesburg; 10-31-2015, 07:06 AM.

I dropped your backhand clip into the rowvid url and looked at the frames. A lot of the balls are too extreme to see much but on the ones you can set up for your turn is late. You want that to correspond to the bounce--full shoulder turn (not necessarily the step but the turn) at the bounce.
Re: the forehand. it looks way better and I am not sure with those blurry frames that you could nit pick forehands one and two... In general for spacing issues and contact issues the approach is exactly the same as with any other technical aspect--create the hitting arm position and the contact position as physical models. Create the corresponding image. Use the image as the blue print. Here is a good model image.
Look at the spacing of his elbow to his body and how far in front the contact is.Last edited by johnyandell; 10-31-2015, 07:59 AM.

No. Although both shots can be hit open the weight goes forward on the front foot it's very similar. This would a classic example of over analysis. Load the back leg--step forward neutral or closed. Keep the posture upright. There is no need to analyze what amount of weight is on what foot...

John,,
On my forehand, the form is getting better and more natural but I am still having issues with making clean contact and my day to day fluctuations. Today wasn't going so well, so I figured it was my head pulling, but these videos show otherwise. Yet I misjudged the ball and hit near the tip and bottom on both balls. When I hit these types of balls I can just feel the unclean contact sapping my power and depth and just dropping a spinny, low short ball.
This is even more confusing for me because even though I consider my forehand my best stroke, I don't experience these problems or fluctuations on my other strokes, except for my two hand backhand on occasion.
However, sometimes, thinking about bending my knees more and getting lower helps a little.
What advice do you have on this?
Thanks!Last edited by eaglesburg; 11-15-2015, 10:38 AM.

That your mind is somewhere else or thinking too much where it is. Or worried too much about a few errors.
Remember you cannot track the ball in focus all the way from the opponent. Soft focus off the racket. You need hard focus at about the top of the bounce--see the blur of the seams rotating.
And remember also the player with the most spectacular mishits of all time is Roger Federer.

When you say "soft focus off the racket" are you talking about off of my racket or my opponent's racket?Last edited by eaglesburg; 11-16-2015, 06:06 PM.
