Thank you 🙏

@@tipsytennis For sure dude!

Lmao, a linebacker. That's a first. Glad you enjoyed 💪

Lol, thanks Andrew! Glad you enjoyed 🙏

Appreciate it!

@@TricksterKev I wish there is a way to find more 5.0+ players near where I live, it is really hard.

@@pencilcheck Lol, I wish for the same thing too here in NYC. I know there are for sure a lot of 5.0+ players here, but most of them are most likely burnt out from tennis after playing an insane amount as juniors, which is understandable

Thank you!

Thanks man, appreciate you watching!

Idk man your 2 hander's is pretty nasty. Wouldn't wanna get into a crosscourt with you to that side lol

When’s the YT showdown Mark ⚔️

Fed's forehand requires a very loose upper body and is pretty difficult to replicate 100%. I'm fortunate to be a pretty good visual learner so I just watched a bunch of slow-mo Fed vids and then just copy it in front of a mirror. Again, copying his forehand is not something one can easily do, and I wish I spent more of my time when I was younger focusing on strategy and consistency. Most of the time people will end up wasting too much time only for the end product to look awkward and stiff. Hope this helps, best of luck

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed, yea it's definitely a challenge

Hop on a plane dude!

@@TricksterKev never been to NYC would need a guide, but that sounds good

@@TricksterKev Perhaps Jan or Feb next year, I can see if I can fly there, let's do this!

@@pencilcheck Dope man, lmk

Lmao

Nah we actually went at 8pm on a Sat lol

Yea, happy with the level though. Still got it lol

Appreciate it man!

Cảm ơn Chad 💪

Lol, I'm only covering courts that I've had enough experience playing on to share input. I've only played in Staten Island maybe twice in my life

Wow, I had no idea. I agree

Those courts will be covered in Part 2 :)

@@TricksterKev looking forward to it

Randall’s island is S+ tier that’s my home 😂

@@TricksterKev don’t forget Roosevelt Island too lol

@@elionthemove-g5s I got you bro lol

Stay tuned for part 2 ;)

Thank you, glad you enjoyed 🙏

People will always pick on the player's BH side regardless of level, athletic abilities, or whether it's a one hander or two hander. But I will say though that people are a lot quicker to assume the BH side is weaker if their opponent has a one hander than if they have a two hander.

@@TricksterKev yeah but you didn t aswer my question, in your experience do you see the same advantage to a two hander over a one hander at your level just like it is at the pros?, and if not why?, thanks a lot. take care.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@martinrosemary5654 Yes in my experience the two hander will always have the advantage over the one hander

@@TricksterKev ok, i once heard Mcenroe say that what made the two hander superior to the one hander in the end was the sliding to cover more court a la Djoko, since you don t see that much at the amateur level i thought it might be different. thanks.

Lol big apple vibes at its finest. Thanks for watching man

Lol, I guess not

i think it might be due to the typical wait times… heard people wait for hours because of their popularity

Exactly this, I've heard people wait as long as 3 hours for just 1 hour of court time. This hit was in the middle of the day. No way am I wasting 3 hours of my day waiting for a court

Thanks! This is at Stadium Tennis Center in the Bronx

How's it a woman's tank top?

Funny how?

@@TricksterKev Bad technique & mechanics! Instead worrying about playing a point correct your flaws !

​@@quentincrisp6933 What bad technique bro...also when playing matches you think about tactics, never about your technique

@@TricksterKev That's your problem! You're thinking about the point so you revert to your bad muscle memory! Practice technique & you will improve. I'm a great hitter playing in Ft. Greene, Hudson River & the 97th St. clay courts!

Lmao, nah I don't reject my two-hander friends. It's just whoever's available to play

Thanks dude! Caloric surplus, progressive overload, and consistency is the name of the game. I follow the Wendler 5/3/1 program but honestly any training program that leverages compound movements and follows a simple progression path will get you plenty jacked. In regards to stress on my joints, I actually feel the opposite. I feel the gained muscles actually help my joints. I think it's highly individual whether it's harmful for the joints however improper form and not executing exercise movements through a full range of motion will increase the likelihood of stress on the joints

100% man. The biggest shortcoming for me was my endurance. In regards to mental focus, around early March, I actually re-read Tim Gallwey's "Inner Game of Tennis" and I think that really helped me maintain consistency in my level throughout a match. However, when the match becomes a cardio-heavy battle, it was hard to keep my thoughts organized as I was more focused on catching my breath lol. Given the limited time and resources I had, I unfortunately had to prioritize my strength training over my cardio so although that helped me stay injury-free throughout the journey, it made me weak in the endurance department

Don't know if you follow Karue's "Turn Pro at 30" series, he has an video where he talked about "How Improving My Fitness Is Taking My Tennis To New Heights At 30".

@@chubun6631 Yea I follow his pro journey series, inspiring stuff. Again I'm fully aware that stamina will skyrocket my game, however given my limited time and resources in NYC, I had no choice but to solely focus on strength training (better than nothing right). Still though, at my current level, I can beat college TricksterKev any time of day and that was when my "tennis fitness" and UTR was at its peak (10 UTR)

Keep at it man. You get what you put in 💪
