    Note: I play the race card 5000 times since racism and drones are far more serious problems in this country than "political correctness." People really need lessons in learning where to direct their disgust.

    He's a bit deceiving in that as much as he glides around in such an efficient way, his forehand really packs a punch when he wants to step on it.

    I get the whole when to pull the trigger thing. I think players have to develop time on the ball to do it so well as your friend. Like Chris Lewitt says, get the turn in quick.

    Thanks for sharing. That's a lovely clip to show us.

    Here's a buddy of mine hitting...Played a little Davis Cup back in the day, and illustrates the point I'm trying to make. Relaxed, rhythmic in the backswing and really pours it on towards contact....Really knows how to use the tool. Nice action, effortlessly heavy ball.
