Thanks to corona virus, fed is still the GOAT. Altho its unfortunate that they cancelled wimbledon yet french open will be played in the fall for nadal to equal him. US open suddenly becomes very crucial this year. By witnessing what’s happening in NYC at the moment, chance is very slim for the open to happen this year sadly. But again, its still few months away..... our world has turned upside down.

Study the hands tracking the ball. Moving with the ball - body mirroring & tracking - note contact is out front - the vertical racket on the unit turn - the loose arm and the WIP generated at the radius as the kinetic chain unleashes its damage on the ball from the ground up channeled through the entire body to a precise geographical location on the ball! - The GOATS eyes are still looking at the spot where the ball was touched thus surgically directing the ball from the court that is mapped out on the ball - FEDxPress feels and see’s where the ball is going In His Minds Eye! The only Eye (I) that matters!

I tried copying Federer's strokes for almost 8 months now and my coach said my form looks perfect. I was happy and every time I hit the ball it looked so relaxed and it looked as if I was hitting the ball with ease but in reality, I've actually started feeling some pain around my elbow. Its not tennis elbow though which is surprising. I've also been using the RF97 which is might be the problem. Could there be something wrong with my technique it might be because I am still only 15.

See if yours is also same racket then weight will be an issue until you are strong enough. Still it didn’t effect my game but I do prefer a good lighter racket in future becoz swing and pace really matters.

Hey wireddragon I’m a former college player and a current Kinesiology lecturer. I personally think that the RF 97 is way too heavy for a player of your age. My college coach always stressed that we have to be able to play with the racket when we are fatigued, deep into our matches. In college we played 2 matches a day. First singles, then doubles. Sometime 5+ hours of playing a day. I doubt you would be able to maintain your technique deep into matches with a 340 gram racket. If you want to play tournaments or in college keep that in mind. You say that you’re feeling pain and tingling after 40 mins? That’s already enough of sign that you need to change rackets. Good technique can’t overcome an unforgiving racket setup. When I was your age I really cared about playing with players’ rackets, pro staffs/POGs etc. Eventually I started losing deep into matches, I was too stubborn. So after getting humbled I went to a lighter more forgiving racket and the wins started coming back. I hope my experience helps you out. I suggest buying a used racket or trading your racket via rent/sell trade forums. That’s what I did when I was stressed for $.

Why does his racket flatten out (hitting side of the racket faces down) so much after he hits the ball but before his right arm completely wraps around his body? I guess his racket is slightly tilted down at impact.

@darrensurrey 3 жыл бұрын

Because that's the way a racket naturally moves when you hit the ball and you're relaxed. Low to high is a myth - it's low to high to low if you lag the racket and whip the ball (lag and snap). Note the racket ends up most of the time around his left hip area, not at shoulder height like coaches teach you as a beginner.
