Hey Rob

Again, thanks for promoting the wheelchair game.
(1) Tell they guy to keep his feet on the footrest. It is illegal for a wc player's feet to touch the floor.
(2) get him to take that backpack off his chair - it is messing with his balance. Too much stuff in there and he'll be flat on his back in no time!

C'ya!

Sounds like some great tips.  He did tip over a couple times and injured his hands and legs which caught his fall under the table.

I've played in a Wheelchair and was surprised at how easily they tip over backwards.

A few of the full clinic videos are now available at:

Good job Rob. The better wheelchairs have an adjustable center of gravity. If he tips over too easily then I'd suggest he adjusts his big wheels backwards to lessen the lever effect.

to those that do play in wheelchairs, please do not take offence to this.

I would actually like to try and play in a wheelchair, just so i could get some idea of how different it is to the normal game, and what shots work and what shots dont.

Respect++ to the wheelchair guys and girls.
