As others have stated, addressing problems quickly is essential. In order to do that certain skills are needed. From what I saw I think you'll need to rethink a few things. Correct me if I'm wrong but what stood out the most while observing you play was an almost complete lack of use of...

Gorst has 3 drills on his YouTube that are ridiculously hard.

Post of the year

Many posts on here about different topics are simply opinions. Lot of gray areas which can be debated. It's the one's like this which are frustrating. When someone doesn't have knowledge of a subject (laws that govern the behavior of the balls) it's virtually impossible to have any meaningful...
