Yeah, the drop shot after the lob can be effective

@@congarnett your not getting it, you got the wrong combo. You beat em back anyway, Waters does it all the time.

I haven’t found that as successful with the speed of certain players but hear what you are saying. In a few matches I have done that to no avail and have to be tactical about it as if they get it it is a free pass up to the kitchen

Yes the next time I play a pro, I'll just keep em back!

Yeah, def see your point up to certain levels can be very effective

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, that is correct. Usually on the right side of the court if you are facing the net you can lob right handers easier because down the line is to their backhand side and middle is at an angle where the cross court person has a backhand too

Sweet. Glad you liked it!

True, but that one I wouldn’t necessarily recommend haha

Love it!! There we go haha

I could see an argument if you have a split second on a volley and you are stretching with one hand or blocking directly in front of you. Everything else the range of motion doesn’t affect me and the benefits outweigh it. That being said everything is a personal preference

Awesome to hear. Any time!

Awesome thank you! Appreciate the support

Glad it was helpful! Great to hear

Glad you enjoyed it!

My thoughts, exactly. Courts (at the Y) are closed for the weekend, but can't wait to get out Monday to try this. Until then, a lot of dry runs in the living room.

Heck ya! Get after it

The triangle effect is similar to this but the essence of both is the ball is coming back in the direction you hit it probably at some form of angle

Your left pointer finger (assuming your right handed) I put it on the back of the paddle face and then my right hand is just wrapped around the paddle normally like a tennis forehand

I try and take a step forward any time I can it naturally allows me to get my kinetic chain involved but if I am on the dead sprint I will sometimes hit open stance where my left foot is in front of

THANK YOU! 🤩

Thank you! Appreciate it

Thanks

Thanks for the sub!

When someone hits topspin you get less rpms when you hit a topspin shot back but I don’t let their shot dictate if I’m hitting topspin back but it is something to be aware of for sure

Glad it was helpful! Let’s go💪

70% is great unless it’s a super high sitter you can’t miss. I use a little bit to the right of a continental on fh for right hand and conti for bh and same at NVZ. Deep serves it’s all about shortening the swing and overdoing the legs. Hope that helps

Great suggestion!

@@congarnett if you can or have the free time. Got any advice on my two-hand backhand or any obvious things you would change. I notice a large pull back with yours which is something I want to play around more with.

Thanks! Will do!

Awesome, glad it’s helpful

Thanks!

Thank you! Great suggestion definitely will aim to have some videos covering that as well

Yes! Would love a return of serve video as well

Thank you and yeah will work to have something like that too

KSwiss there. Still bouncing around though finding the shoes that last and work with my movement

@@congarnett well you make em look great. Love watching you play

@@congarnett I just picked up the Asics solution speed ff2s after bouncing around a while myself. It was hard to find a pair of lightweight shoes that were comfortable as well as durable as well. You should definitely give them a try.

Thanks!

Using the legs means moving through the shot. The weight transfer through with the legs along with the hips and core is where the power comes from so yes to your point I am stable through the ball and I am not lifting which is what you are referring to

@@congarnett Just wanted to say you're really kind for responding gracefully to these crazy comments. Watching you play PPA at the Red Rock Open was one of the highlights of the event for me. Love your channel and great video as always. The swing path of 2 points of contact for aiming down the line is extremely helpful. Can't wait to watch your next pro event.

Thank you, I appreciate it. Yeah red rock was a fun tournament. See you at the next one

The drive shot if I am hitting through the court because it is a faster shot will naturally have a little less spin because the ball doesn’t stay on the paddle as long. It will still have spin though for sure and that is coming from the brush at the end (I.e. turning the wrist over right after content / brushing up the back of the ball) but some of the passing shots or slower drives you will see even more spin because you are going up the back of the ball even more. Hope that clarifies things

Thanks and yeah, completely makes sense and with each vid working on improving things like that. Always welcome the feedback

I guess they might need to get a ProXR paddle

@@congarnett 🤣Valid

Right?!! I couldn’t help but envision Ben Johns using a frying pan on the other side much like a vid I saw awhile back.😂

Thanks, yeah a friend’s spot. Super cool set up for sure

@@congarnett lol on another note - ever since I saw you a year ago with the 2 handed backhand, i’ve been developing mine. i now have the most versatile 2 handed backhand of anyone I’ve seen in this area 😊 . thank you for the inspiration!

@@khgriffi heck ya!

Of course. Glad it was helpful

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you, appreciate the note

Thank you, appreciate the support

Hey - yes, thanks for the question. I am saying if you hit a good speed up they wont have time to hit it back cross court so it will go back in a similar direction to where you sped up so yes if you go cross body on someone it will likely comeback to the other side of you.

@@congarnett Thanks Connor!

Heck ya! Good luck with the practice

Awesome thank you! Much appreciated

Great suggestion! Will look to incorporate that. Thanks

Thank you!

They are called thorlo socks!

Definitely when you can hit down on the ball, rolling it isn’t as important especially if your opponents are at the kitchen

Florence Marine! And my favorite are their airtex shorts. Link to their stuff and my discount code is in my bio

Sounds good! The gist is when its a counter that I have limited time and its right in front of me its one hand and out to the side when I can get the second hand on it is two. I will make a video on it though

Great suggestion! Will work on getting this incorporated

Thank you, glad you like it and always happy to provide helpful tips. Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to cover

@@congarnett I actually do, thanks for asking Connor. How do you deal with balls coming at your head from the kitchen to kitchen, some are so fast that you can't comprehend whether it's in or out so you just protect your face but when your paddle covers your face it also blocks your vision. I noticed some people are hitting hard at your face and you don't have time to think about ducking because the ball is coming so hot you have literally no time to get out of the way when it's in the kitchen so you end up just trying to hit it. Other times if you do move out of the way, they change it up with a medium ball that lands in but it also high to your face. Also as a pro how do you guys combat against getting chicken wing'd. I wanna hear from a pro what the pros do for this. For reference, I play with 4.5-5.0 in southern california and there's pros that drop by my facility often.

@@congarnett Also how do you handle dippers from drive/drops that are coming hot at your feet and there's pressure from a crasher who's trying to shake n' bake you? I feel like if you drop it in the kitchen, you're conceding the point too easily, but if you hit up on it, to get it over the net, you're gonna get punished if you pop it up. There's so many more aggressive players who are just aggressively shake n baking their way to easy points.

@@shipwreck8847 thanks, will work on some of these in the next round of filming!
