2 HRS AGO - Watching Chtchet again...he's "the Chtchet"...Just love his style. Anyway, here's a video from a tournament that has lots of great angles if you watch the other matches. But in this video...he plays or warms up with a guy who is definitely lower level than him, but it illustrates some of the chopping technique that he does. His FH chop as we all know is a sidespin FH chop. The thing that makes it particularly unique is that he moves his racket toward his center of the body, and takes the chop in front of his knee...almost opting for a higher angle to achieve this stroke. It really works well for him. Full video of chop at 00:29s:https://youtu.be/18Hw7h7S6C8?t=29sYou can see the intent of him waiting for it to drop towards his right knee...this is definitely on purpose. Very smooth and calm. Practiced a million times. It seems this is his go-to FH technique and not a reaction to lots of spin as some have suggested (sidespin as spin avoidance). Perhaps this started Collapse

5 HRS AGO - Author: DreiZSubject: degluing rubber makes it lighter?Posted: 09/24/2016 at 5:27pmIf you don't notice any small holes from sponge ripping it's fine. Ive removed lots of glue from MXP sponge before with small rips resulting in small craters but it didn't affect any aspect during play, and MXP sponge is even more porous than T05. Theoretically when you add glue to porous sponge, the glue fills the top layer of the sponge pores and when it's removed some glue may still be in the sponge so the feel might be different from a brand new sponge. But IMO this is so negligible it shouldn't worry any player on this forum. However, according to some players regluing an old rubber (without booster) does result in a slightly different feel compared to the same rubber that hasn't been reglued. But i don't wonder into this topic much as it's not important to me. Collapse

Not a faster backswing, but one with better timing, almost circular. I think Brett discussed it in ETTS 29 or so.If you look at this video of WLQ, you will see that he doesn't begin his swing until the ball is close. He slowly takes the racket back but when the ball is close, then you see the backswing acceleration begin. You will also see all the other things BRS talked about, but basically, work on rotating the body and getting a good backswing. And hit into the ball. Don't try to avoid it to get spin.
