He sure does. I love how compact and efficient his strokes are.
Yes that's exactly what impressed me too!
My first coach (Chinese) wouldn't be impressed.
After watching a lot of videos of the compact-style Paul shows in those clips, I determined that style would work better for me and I had to change coaches to get it. I'm too old and my joints to fragile to handle the free-wheeling all-out whipsaw the Chinese teach and I have tennis elbow to show for it.
My new coach thinks I'm coming along well, but just the other night I wound up talking to my old coach and he said he had been watching me and was disappointed that I had "lost" my stroke. I'll never hit it like Paul Drinkhall, but I have moved up 300 rating points since I switched coaches.
Now if only I had Paul's footwork maybe I could reach those fast loops to the corners...
