    I've been a tennis teaching professional for over 3 decades, and this is, by far, one of the most (if not the most) complete, in-detail scientifically researched, objectively instructional, professionally edited video I've ever seen! Extremely well done, gentlemen! You've made me a devoted follower. Keep up the great job, and THANK YOU for going the extra mile into making such a fantastic video!

    You are 100% the real deal. This concept is so hard to understand and much less explain. There is a wealth of tennis garbage on the internet but you are a tennis Guru. Thank you for taking the time to put this together for us mid-levels. Mastering this concept will take your game to the next level. Thanks again!!!

    After 10 years of playing tennis. I finally unlocked the wrist lag power thank to this video! For me, it's the hip/chest rotation with relax of the hand (not just the wrist) as well as watching the ball and timing. It feels so effortless to hit the ball. To me, tennis is like, the more you loosen up the better.

    Wow! You mentioned Rick Macci! I automatically knew that you know what you are talking about, what you are teaching, and what you are doing. Good Professors always use references to prior work, to Top Researches, etc. (Rick Macci is the Numbr One Top Tennis Researcher, Scientist and Teacher. ) And you did just that. You produced almost Scientific and Academic video lesson!
