yan yan . when ur nxt melaka visit ?

haha , must be act pig eat tiger de. ( ban zhu chi lao fu ). later when stroke standard macam federrer/nadal sia.
Heard from them u got a realli good and powerful forehand.
haha, wat kind of coaching ? not tennis right? 

penetration shot is good right? some players focus too much on spin the ball rather than penetration and that result their ball bounce at half court and easy to get attack.

If the ball can bounce near baseline with a good pace, opponent mostly don't have enough time to prepare for the shot unless they stand far behind the baseline. I think both penetration and spin is equally important.

Apex is the timing when we contact the ball izit?

what if i tell u i dont agree 1 single bit

anyway highest point of ball at net means u're gonna contact at net height or when u're done touching the ball its at net height ?

Apex stuff not completely wrong just depends on how high the ball bounces.

If the ball's bounce isn't so high and its apex is at your shoulder height then its a good time to rip it. So in this case Mr coach is correct.

But if the ball bounce is above your head definately you can't hit it at the apex but wait till it drops back down to shoulder height. So in this case Mr coach is wrong.

His coach is not talking about contact point or where to contact the ball. He is talking
about Yan's ball travel path.

I think his coach meant that the highest point of his ball path is above the net which
is the apex of the ball path curve. Controlling the apex means putting the highest
height of the ball at a certain location... he would put it right above the net area.
Check out my diagram.. he wants you hit like the green path & u're hitting too much
like the red path now.



When Yan hits a too penetrating shot, it might not even have a prominent apex because
the ball is hit through so hard, it goes straight & doesnt have that rainbow shape path.
I really understand what the coach is trying to convey to Yan because I've seen
Yan hit balls from the baseline before.

His coach is correct. Coaches would correct & balance out your weaknesses. In this
case he is putting control in Yan. It is always control first then comes power. Of cos
having both like Chip73 would be something that we all want dont we?

Wow . i wan be like chip73 

Why u wanna be PRChips leh!!
Be yourself kenot meh 

Yan,

I think it is pretty simple... if u hit through the ball more (doesnt matter what grip), it will
go more towards the red path. If u hit through lesser with more bottom to top sweep (topspin),
it will become more like the green path.

  Another thing is the follow through... if u close down the racket face after the contact, spin
would lessen. If you windshield wipe your follow through, spin would increase.
    Racket face on contact, contact height & takeback also play a major role... damn.. come to think of
it, its not easy also.... LOL.... so many things to take into consideration.. minus gear somemore,
LoL.... no wonder its a life long learning process eh?

    Well thats why when u go coaching they'll load up your stroke memory with repetitive
stroking everytime... they keep correcting & fine tuning & build up your consistency. But I
foresee that your stroke would become more like junebug... slightly more on the flat side but
the difference between you & him now is movement & control... junebug can move very2 well & has
great footwork prior to contact. You will know a player moves well when he execute inside out
forehands consistantly... thats one of the more difficult forehand to prepare.

    Watch more when june is hitting with chip73.... they're the better players here

Hmmm..
If u wan to play more beautiful tennis shot go for Roger Federer.
If u wan to play more Top Spin shot go for Rafael Nadal..
U decide 

One APEX discussion also "bhai me siong thoi" (put me on the altar....so to speak.....but isnt that the norm with Chinese when you are DEAD??...... ....hahahahaha  )

If u guys got gather i sure interested to join u guys for a stroke or two this sunday morning..
ishhh~~ new term ... WAT's BKT ? Bak kut teh ?
