String

Any chance to convince you to go to a multi from a poly string?

Load the hips and shoulders

Made some videos today with a friend. We were nervous for some reason and didn't hit very good. You will have hard time finding a forehand where I didn't jump on, or being late, or doing laso... didn't know its that bad until I actually saw the videos myself.
I am the one in red shirt
Racket I use: head prestige youtek MP (320g unstrung) : http://www.tenniswarehouse-europe.co...DH-HYTPMP.html strung with signum pro poly plasma at 24kg, and I have to string it lower in the future, need a little bit more power.
I have been playing for around 3 years now, I play a lot.
I am 5'9, 156lbs
Here are the videos:

Surface is really really fast!
I'll try to record myself hitting VS a ball machine next time!

BTW, do you think the racket could be a bit too demanding for my level?

Nikae,
check the forehand you hit in the first clip at 31 seconds in. You are not rushed at all and stroke it pretty well; but, as JY pointed out in his response to your direct question, although your left hand is in a good initial position, it never really extends to the right and never really gets you the full benefit of the little bit of load in the shoulders and hips that the left arm extension to the right is supposed to create for you. While you are in that position before you extend the left arm to the right, you do not want the racket head to be so far back; more just off your right shoulder.

And where are you? That is a neat multisport facility, but those are really fast courts. Reminds me of playing at Bill's Indoors up in Harlem in the 70's in NY.

good luck,
don
