I would appreciate your opinion on something:
I have a talented 11-year-old I am coaching. He uses a two-hander and has the racket head stuck up close to vertical during the backswing phase (think Zverev, Bruguera). It's natural to him and I have let him continue with until this point. The problem is he has timing issues at the contact point and often gets caught late even on relatively slow balls. I am contemplating converting him to an Agassi style take back as he may find the timing easier. He's young enough and things aren't too baked in yet.
What are your thoughts on the vertical take back and would you encourage change even though the mechanics look pretty good...but timing is a persistent problem?
