Olefirenkova, 8, Ukraine, strokes!

And yes, I agree with you, hitting takes perfect timing (in any sport).

Hardy Brown’s father was murdered. Shot dead in a neighbor’s home in rural Kirkland, Texas, Nov. 7, 1928. Two men pumped four bullets into him. Hardy was in the room when it happened. He was four. Four months later, Brown was present again when a family friend murdered one of his father’s killers at point-blank range. He only saw or heard from his mother when he was 17, to enter the marines. Now institutionalized, dementia from head trauma. Cannot lift his right hitting shoulder. Called the dirtiest player in nfl history due to his brutal knock outs. Knocked out the entire backfield of the chicago team in one game.

He loaded the left shoulder, sideways, and then, cocked his right hitting shoulder into the hit forwards, eyes straight forwards, chest facing opponents straight on, with immense unit turning speed and forwards contact, right through the cheek bones, noses, skulls, shoulders, aiming mainly for the head of opponents. George Halas had the refs check his shoulder pads for illegal metal plates and they found: NOTHING AT ALL

The Dexter Morgan of the nfl. A serial killer born at four.

Tell her...

don_budge, I read that comment to her and she wanted me to let you know -- "I unleash my inner black panther when I play tennis."

…if I had a granddaughter like her I would teach her every shot in the book. Not only that…I would teach her how to use every single one in a variety of ways. Tactically speaking. Plus…she would have the most beautiful service motion. Ever! Give her my message…hockeymaniac. From one panther to another.

I'd leave the rest of it to you of course.

[don_budge]

Just...

Do you really think it is bio-mechanically possible for a woman to serve well? I am not sure. I could be wrong. It's going to be interesting to see how the girls game evolves in the next 10-20 years because I really believe their's a lot of room for massive growth.

…give her my message!

[don_budge]

Woman's...

don_budge ... she asked:

"Has this guy seen me serve?"

Then she asked:

"How could a woman have the best service motion ever, when they are poor in comparison to the standards of Pete Sampras and Milos Raonic?"

The best woman's service motion….ever. I don't need to see you serve…my belief is in myself as a teacher.

hockeycoach...

…give her my message!

Ben...my message was to her. Simple as that...no need for explanations.

Love her enthusiasm. Great watching her alternate foot step and bounce step jump rope rhythm. Buddy Lee is a great resource for you if you haven't seen his work. I don't understand what she is doing tactically. She moves aggressively up front foot hops but is playing her contact point at her shins or close. Feels like she needs to let ball rise more. Feels like the wrong contact move for ball relative too her body. Feels like the wrong swing path for this ball. Instead of driving she should be coming around the outside to create some arc and shape.

Have her look at this fh. INverts towards the net, coils chest to the net post, deep knee bend wt. transfer, and neck wrap a round finish.

Better body angle in the second one, where "body angle" means braced back bent toward right fence from the hips.

If she keeps getting reps like this she will be able to neutralize aggressive returns down the middle of the court. I know I am not looking at the right stuff, well because I know nothing about "setups." What do you see in her balance?

[bobbyswift]

If you contact the ball below the net band and play offense you don't understand on the rise. She needs to let ball come up to waist to lower chest. Then she doesn't have to make the ball come up and over net. Thus different swing path.

Bingo. She is eight and chaotic. Lots of work in this regard.

[lobndropshot]

Have you looked into stringing for her yourself?

Would you agree she needs to coil a little bit more?

The Proof...

is in the pudding…6' 1" tall, 180 lbs. 1976. 22 years old.

We need to see how could be added this into our mix.
