Really good info; I wish I lived in Tiburon, so I could take a few lessons from Mauro, he really has a knack for outlining the mechanics of a stroke. I’ve been playing for three years and absolutely struggling to hit any sort of reliable top spin forehand. Now I’m going to see if I can use some of Mauro’s pointers to try and finally get this stroke down, thanks!!

ADMIN: Kyle, I hope now you can “master” your forehand topspin!! (Coach Mauro)

Great video. I would also be very much interested to learn on the footwork of getting away from a ball coming directly to me and then hitting an attacking shot. That’s far more complex body movement. Can you please, cover this in your next video? thnx.

ADMIN: Vlg, until video covering jammers is out, try using a “very quick 1st step”!!

I have tried and will continue the back wrist action and the the head still part, that’s not natural for me, but necessary I know. Am working on all, now I have to implement the use of both hand to make myself turn and then the follow through, I have been using you serve tactics and so far so good don’t have the power I want yet, but I’m working on all these ideas, and thank you.

ADMIN: Jack, keep up the good work amigo, it’ll pay-off for sure!! (Coach Mauro)
