Thank you Tomas for the additional case studies. I think they serve to fine tune and emphasize the content of the technique modules. I’ll have to go back to my two serve courses to check on additional content. Is there any way to alert members to new course content? I purchased your two serve courses, the forehand and the backhand many years ago.
Thanks
The only “alert” possible with this current software is the “latest posts” sidebar section on the homepage of each course where you may see my comment whenever I post something new.
I am actually testing a different membership software that I may transition to in the next year and that one might even have email notifications whenever there is a new post…
Hi Tomas. This was an excellent case study for me on weight transfer. The idea of remaining calm – not jumping into the ball but accurately assessing how it will come to you and preparing to make contact in a stable stance was helpful. I do often feel as if I am supposed to take balls early instead of being calm and making contact, knowing the ball will come to me. I also appreciated knowing that it is good to have a calm left foot that remains flush to the ground and that one can still get good rotation from the shoulder without pivoting the foot. Thank you.

October 29, 2022Added a new video analysis about a common weight transfer misconception. Here are a few video articles that can help expand on this topic: https://www.feeltennis.net/fundamental-rally-conditions/ and https://www.feeltennis.net/open-before-neutral-forehand/

It’s great that you are adding these occasional case studies to the course website.
They are a great complement to the main modules, thank you!

Yes, this weight transfer misconception comes up often in my lessons so I wanted to make sure it’s included.
Here’s a nice video of Djokovic practicing and you can observe the front foot when he steps into neutral stance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iqzhhMe1l4
