Not quite at the same level as the others on here, but figured I show off some.
Since I stopped playing as often as I did in college, I not only (obviously) am out of shape, but have been playing my shots a lot flatter then I did before. Dare I say my forehand and backhand are in the same vein as Tanasugarn's flatness.
Lastly, this video, after a really terrible thought out, and executed drop shop , I have a mini blow up in the match. I've had worse, but honestly the drop shot attempt is so bad, it's hilarious.
Here's a video of me playing -- but I must say I am better than this, haha! I had taken off for over a week because of food poisoning so this was my first day back. But I have to admit...I surprised myself!
^I wish we could see more from a different angle maybe to see the rallies.
What was your impression of yourself after seeing yourself in video?
I think once the snow melts and I can play outside again I'll be able to snag a better video. Really difficult to get decent angles in the indoor environment haha.
I really just saw how atrocious my footwork was for the most part, which has never been a strong point, but certainly really lacking in a lot of it.
That was the main bit of it. In these latest incarnation I saw a really big influence of Tanasugarn and hitting the ball very flat, which I think developed post college when I stopped playing often. By the mid point of college I added some good topspin to my forehand making it a more dependable and heavier shot.
Not exactly apparent here, in this video which was 2 years ago, but you can sort of see the spin difference in that first forehand. Pretty atrocious footwork there though also.
have this pic from 2007, my clubs singles tournament. me and my friend/hitting partner adam. we play the final against each other every year lol. that year i won 4-6, 7-5, 6-4
Ill see what i can do about getting a video recorded on Thursday, may wait till after i get my racket back from the restringer on friday. Hopefully ill be hitting with my team mates as the level compared to the other players i can hit with is much lower. Always fun hitting with different types of players though.
May be able to upload my match from saturday if anyone wants to see it. Dont know if the recording worked yet.
