Great win! REally nice to be under 7-3 or so, and then turn the tables and win, those are the best wins .

Yes, your FH wins you many points, but I think you got even more from serving. And you lost quite a few from flipping too aggressive . I also noticed you got yourself into trouble with too much weight on your heels. You need to bend our legs more and have more weight on your toes, that will make you move faster (yeah, I know how difficult that is to change in real matches). You got caught at the cross over point, trying to bend your back to be ble to shoot a FH a few times, and also a few shots were missed at your far FH (with such a FH-oriented style that you have that will happend, and those lost point syou will win with good FH attacks).

In the last two sets you managed to keep your service returns and other BH-strokes low, that was very important. Against this player you could probably win more easy by using the anti a little more, especially at the end when your blocking and useage of the ati was better. What ball were you using?

About that chopping movement... I reeally think that might be a good thing with the ABS-ball. I don't have that naturally so I can't really tell... But you should investigate it.

@Def-attack tnx man...you are right at all points...i am so static with my legs its unbelievable...we were playing with DHS D40 ABS ball...so, not much rotation imo...but i still think that chopblocking is the wrong move...

@peterpong there was simply not enough time for experiments this winter brake...1st some rest and eating over holidays, than i was ill for a while, and beginning of the next halfseason is at the door...

i tried Gorilla enough to see that i could play with it with further training...it is better for aggressive play and against less spin balls for sure...but what happened is i found myself playing much more bh and much less fh which is not optimal in the long run imo...so need to think about that some more...
