Just figured since I'm locked down and will probably be making quite a few of these I would put them all in one place. Here's today's video!

PPM: Good effort to stay busy! NJ or NZ?

IMHO, you have built enough 'online equity' to start monetizing via 'online coaching'. After all, at least in NJ, this lockdown could go on for months.

Ask us to send you our videos practicing with a robot (or even of prior games) and offer coaching (stroke correction, footwork correction, game tactics, etc) for a fee about 1/4 of live coaching. There should be a market. Trust me - this is even valuable service for many adults - while they do not mind spending $60 per hour on their kids' coaching, they feel guilty spending that much on their own.

My guess is that you do not need to spend more than 15 min total on watching the video / providing useful feedback, so it shall be helpful.

Will definitely get to this once i'm out of isolation and the club opens again, I can't effectively teach these things without a robot or a training partner :P so it's mostly serve focused initially.

I'm in New Jersey at the moment, 13th day at home and i'm by myself so it's been tough to keep myself occupied. 

It's definitely something I could look into and a great suggestion. If this does go on for a while then I will certainly have plenty of spare time before I move on to my next big project, so I will be working on trying to deliver as much coaching content as I can.

Noted, I will probably put together a video on service placement and talk about depth, placement and direction. Will keep this in mind and hopefully get on to that in the next few vids!

thanks for posting the pendulum serve video that explains how to generate under vs side vs topspin.  I will work on adding that to my pendulum serve.

Damn.... but I think you could probably still talk about it and show some movements? Tips would be quite useful imo. Especially the contact movements. My practice partner has an amazing flick on both sides which he varies the type of contact, all producing quite different spins and speed which really throws me off (some even have backspin and some strange sidespin on them, yuck!) 

For me serves are the strongest part of my game by far and I can pretty much serve almost every single FH serve in existence...

Today's video on improving service deception, focuses on contacting the bottom of the ball to generate spin in different directions.

Thanks a lot for this one. My standard backspin serve always had a lot of sidespin too, and it was because I was doing it like how you mentioned to do the sidespin here. I've been focusing on changing it to a pure (or closer to pure) backspin serve, which is actually how you've mentioned it.

The new one that I enjoyed hearing about is the topspin variation. Now I know why every now and then I would intend to serve my side-underspin serve. My opponent pushes it and it just pops out or really high for me to smash for a winner. The look on my opponent's face was to be honest just as confused as me haha. Now I know I was probably tightening my racket towards my body instead.

Yes fortunately it's too late for most people to adapt to be aggressive once it bounces, has been very useful for me in matches :)

Actually I would say 80% of developing and intermediate players cannot serve a good backspin variation of it, so I usually prepare to flick or loop when I see people winding up for it.

Hah, yes it's always better when you can throw out those serve variations intentionally instead of by accident ;) hopefully this helps you be able to do that!

I actually serve a very heavy sidebackspin variant of it, and without fail people see my motion and think "sidetopspin 80% of the time" and just dump it straight into the net lol... I'm having trouble generating very heavy sidetopspin without it being too obvious tho, I think you definitely served some very heavy sidetopspin in your video and it definitely looked like it could be easily disguised with my sidebackspin movement. Your wrist movement is still up to down from the receivers point of  used. I used to serve the side topspin with a down to up wrist movement like a reverse pendulum movement, but that seems to be quite easily detected haha, I've since switched back to using the forearm pronation method of serving sidetopspin which is better with deception, I think you're also using the same method...

The weird thing is I can disguise the spin well and I know how it works, but I still eat this serve for breakfast (my training partner serves a really wicked version of it too)

Tbh I feel like the hardest part of the hook serve is actually keeping it short. It just doesn't offer the same amount of length control compared to a reverse pendulum.

Yea it's so commonly topspin that any player who has a good deceptive backspin variation usually does well. 

I find this serve relentlessly hard to keep short, I have to brush the ball quite soft which is not really ideal at all. I usually just go for broke and go half long and get as much kick as I can :D

Haha yeah you almost trade length control for deception with the hook serve... But with more spin you just win more direct points to be honest so it more than compensates...
