My latest fascination on the tennis court has been formulating a method of coaching high level footwork.
And, in so doing, I spent a lot of time on court, hitting a lot of shots. And working on new-style shots to go along with footwork.
Specifically hitting Spanish-style forehands. Think Nadal. Only with the Right Hand!
Since I have been playing for a long(quite long!) time my strokes are generally described by our players as archaic. I much prefer "old-school"!
The forehand wrist snaps are quite different from "old-school" to Rafael Nadal. Let's just say that my elbow couldn't handle the strain. As a matter of fact, it appears that over the next few days I will get to practice my ambidexterity. My right elbow doesn't seem to be bending at the moment, and is quite swollen!
When I get back on the court, you can expect to see me back hitting my old, archaic shots!
What's the old saying, you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
