The Rolflex arm and leg massager I was talking about in class is $80. I'll bring it to the next class.

Keep your eye on the ball all the way into your paddle face and even after the ball is struck. Roger Federer has the best form of any tennis player I've seen. Watch his eyes follow the ball all the way into his racquet strings and even after the ball is struck, he is still looking there for a split second. This is difficult to see in real time, but this is slow mo. This is at the baseline. At the kitchen line we don't do this.

Here are the paddles with a foam core. I expect foam core paddles will be the next big thing in paddles, but it'll take some time before people see that foam cores last longer than plastic honeycomb. I have the first 4 paddles so please demo and discuss with me before you buy one. 1. Diadem Vice 2. Gearbox Pro Ultimate 3. Selkirk Project 008 4. Crbn TruFoam 5. Diadem Warrior BluCore

To sign up for group classes, please see the Los Gatos Saratoga Community Education and Recreation sign up page. Then click South Bay Area Tennis - Adult ↓ Show. Scroll down. I teach the Monday morning classes at El Quito Park. Classes start 4.14.25. 

If you can't make Monday morning in Saratoga, South Bay Area Tennis runs these classes in Cupertino.

Adv Beg class, and Intermediate class homework: Please watch these videos: Basic NVZ line footwork and the Intermediate and Advanced NVZ line footwork. The shuffle step, lunge step, and drop step are constantly used in every game. Don't worry about the cross step. Practice this at home.

My YouTube channel has videos of games, drills I go through, dinking, speedups, transition resets, etc.
