    Somax

    John have you heard of this treatment?

    Somax is a sports performance institute that uses advanced technology to help athletes of all ages improve their performance beyond conventional coaching and improve their flexibility beyond stretching.

    I've seen some of their stuff around. Even though they are in the Bay Area I've never run into them and don't know too much about what they do.

    Think they have a point about Federer shoulder not be as flexible as some other players, but check out these returns and freeze the frame when they both land in the split step.

    Their program might cure cancer for all I know but they don't have the facts right about the return stances of Roger and Andy. If anything Andy looks slightly wider. This makes me a little leery--in general I've found most "miracle" solutions aren't...

      Something I wondered when I read that page is how they know Andy is split stepping to his full range of motion.

      John, how do you include a frozen frame of a video clip in a post?

        Use Quicktime to create Jpeg and save on your hard drive, and then use the little Yellow Post Card above to insert image. I think. Try it and let's find out.

          I think that will only work if I save the picture to a web server. Using the 'yellow postcard' only seems to wrap image tags around a url.

          Here's a picture from my PC. If it doesn't show up, then it probably wasn't uploaded and any referenced pictures need to be on a web server.

            Oh well, didn't work.

            John, here's the html for the Federer picture you inserted:

            <EMBED CONTROLLER="false" TARGET="myself" LOOP="false"
            src=https://www.tennisplayer.net/tp_player/roger-federer/ height=440 width=660
            AUTOPLAY="true"></embed>

            Looks like you actually embedded the clip rather than a picture with it paused somehow. When the page loads, I can hear the audio from the entire clip, or at least up until it's paused.

              No it's an embedded movie. There is a way to imbed jpegs I just can't recall at this moment...I'll figure it out later.

                OK just look down below when you post. It's Attach Files. Just navigate to the JPEG and you are there. Attach it and submit.

                      Cool! I've actually learned a lot from that frame!
