White Papers

 

 

 

 

Welcome to White Papers, individual papers offering solutions that strike at the heart of a player's improvement and that more often than not fly in the face of established teaching methodology or science evaluation.  And when possible a historical perspective is added to indicate why we're in the mess we're in and how we got there regarding the convoluted how-to of teaching.
 

 

WRIST USE

Stroke consistency: achieved by limiting the movement of the wrist or by limiting the movement of the hips and shoulders?

HAND USE

The use of the hand for contact: grip firmness at contact, voluntarily.

MODERN TENNIS NOT

Part 1: Federer's step and hit in the semi and open stance, tennis (still) made simple.

Part 2: That old canard "Turn-Step-Hit" is still being waved around to $ell "modern" tennis, but this half-measure is exposed for its laziness and its twin identity to "Load-Explode" seen (confirmed in Part 1).

Part 3: Judge for yourself: a real sport science experiment exposed, and obvious video para-nalysis of the never-ending kind.

Part 4: The real stuff is always hiding in plain sight, just don't have any preconceptions.
