Thank you kind Toilet always appreciate your kind words

Haha, yea Saucy loves that racket. Taking a trip back in time for sure. I could get a doubles match with 4 one handers and two lefties if you want. 🤣

Definitely! Effortless out there!

Yea, been working on getting more rotation. Sluggish moves in the feet. Thanks!

That's hilarious! He would be honored. We have another buddy in the crew that's also modeling his game after Fed. We'll have to get him on the channel soon. Thanks for the comment!

Yea he kicks our ass like Fed would too

Thanks for the comment, Rusty! I'm sure Mike would appreciate that. I aspire to have that technique. Maybe someday haha

The BAWS indeed.

@@christophersheldon7088 I believe she was coming back from having not played in a while. Thanks for the comment!

It had to be said 😂

@@syren760 I appreciate the words! Been trying to analyze these clips of my playing and figure out where I’m falling short. Definitely been seeing a laziness in the footwork. Thanks 🙏

@@Macheeeeto thanks Matthew! Really appreciate that coming from you, man. Hoping to just keep training and get that level up!

​@@kingsclubtennis Racquet Preparation is sometimes late and should be early with the ball.. Make sure you keep your body OUT of the pathway of the incoming ball when receiving back the returns. Sometimes you just stand all flatfooted on the court with your body all parked in the way of the incoming ball. You cannot hit the ball clean or finish high if your own body is blocking the pathway of the ball with the racquet then you cannot extend fully into the ball. The result is a being late with cramped finish, bent elbow and balls down into the net or losing power and hitting weak and short sitting up in the court.. On Slice Serves you can bring the arm down to carve the ball to slice it, but on flat serves there should be no arm dragging when hitting the ball...

@@germanslice You're absolutely right. I've been noticing more and more of that cramped finish and it's not good. Been focusing a lot more on light feet and trying to find my timing and spacing. Thanks so much for the comment. My serve is a whole other issue. Constantly battling with DFs there. Auf Wiedersehen!

​@@kingsclubtennis Its like my video game I've been making on my computer. You always gonna get ambushed sooner or later.... But first you have to stop sabotaging yourself on the court with bad timing with the ball.. Your timing is terribly late with the ball sometimes . Because you and your friend hit the ball all flat and you're using late timing on these fast flat balls so you are crunching each other all up in your swings on the court when you should be starting off your swings more earlier with the ball the moment the ball is still crossing over the netcord instead of just waiting for the ball to first arrive to you why start the swing more earlier? So that you don't get all squashed up in your swings when hitting around the ball at 100 mph.. SERVING: I saw a couple of doubles faults in this set. For this video didn't show the whole match so I can't tell how many doubles were done. but If you want to improve the ball toss practice doing the one leg serve drill. This drill will show you where the bad tosses are because if the toss is bad you will feel off balance when hitting the ball off one leg. Do not make the mistake of hitting every single ball toss. that is how people develop poor serves. if the toss feels poor or off let it drop to the ground and retoss the ball back up again.

@@burnpittsburgh7036 agreed. rip

I appreciate the information! I've definitely noticed those things since watching this back. In particular I want to find the ball contact cleanly and I'm wondering if I need to scoot back a bit from the base line. I tend to push the line there which gives me less time. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Cheers!

There's the normal slice backhand which uses the high down to low or all across the body for its motion and floats and hovers the ball which is slow, can fall weak and short if you dont' get enough net clerance hight so around 3-10 high over the net Dosen't really thin the ball all out and sometimes it puts hits thick ugly slow spin which takes forever to get down the court because of all the slow hangtime in the air. So you can get some flat bite but if you try to rip with it, ball will pop up in the air. Contact Point is usually the middle. So this version is more a control slice. But the one I like to use is located more higher up on the racquet at the bottom edge which is the Low to High Motion Version which drives the slice like a big flat penetrating groundstroke drive using pronation of the edge of the racquet instead of brushing the ball manually from the middle so I get more pace, more depth, more penetration and much more flatter deeper lengths through the court. And there's no float on the ball. So the ball dosen't hang or float in the air but just zips all down through the court.

I like that idea! I've seen some other channels incorporate that before. I'll start trying to do some testing in the next videos! Thanks for watching and leaving the comment!

Haha, bro you are too kind! I really appreciate that. Just gotta keep grinding!

Thank you so much!!

Stay in school, kids.

Churning em out!

Hey! I'm pretty close to the bay, would love to hit! I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit my videos. Thanks for watching!

@@kingsclubtennis Let me know when can we play! :) I am mostly open weekday evenings except Fridays. Also, can play on weekend evenings and afternoons.

Good one buddy!

Thank you, kind sir. I will gladly continue documenting this royal journey and will remain righteous in my pursuit of recreational development!

Sorry about the confusion, the 7.5 NTRP is in reference to a combined rating of 3.5 + 4.0. I updated the title accordingly. Thanks for the comment! Maybe eventually tournament prize winnings will be our major source of income but surely not for a while. haha

Thank you, Swirly. Been trying to maintain the drive through my shots but gotta stay level headed. Too easy to get caught up in the hits and a tendency to over hit.

Haha, I love to run after a tough shot. Gotta stay in it no matter the cost!

I think what I've found to be as the most considerable difference is how long a 4.0/4.5 can keep a good or bad ball in the court. I as a 3.5 might be able to keep up with their pace and depth for about 4/5 hits on average but then tend to hit an UE and usually would lose the point. I have a tendency to play with a bit of hesitation as not to hit beyond my average margins, which could lead to a poorly placed ball that my opponent could take advantage of easily. Overall I just think I need more hitting practice... after taking a ~10 year break I'm just trying to catch up at this point. I'm at a point now where if I can start to trust my body and hits, things should start to get better. Thanks for the comment!

Good point. I've been really considering it recently!

Thanks for the comment, Van! I’ll let the guys know your thoughts!

I will do my best, thanks for the tip :)

Thanks BB! I'm sure the guys appreciate it!

It was crazy when it all started hazing up the place. You could feel the air. So thicccc.

Absolutely! Always needing reminders. Thanks!

Thanks Kevin! Haha, I just need to find some more consistency. Feels like it's still getting launched a bit long. Might need to work on some better follow through!

National Tennis Rating Program! It goes hand in hand with the USTA pointing system. Maybe I should I make a little video about it! Thanks for the question!

Ok Thank you@@kingsclubtennis

Thanks Auntie! Love you!
