Description

On this week's Mailbag, Gill is joined by Coach Jonathan Stokke, a former Duke player and host of the Baseline Intelligence Podcast. We answer your comments including: is there a place for the one-handed backhand in the modern game, can a player who hits two forehands like Teodor Davidov have success in the pros, why are you losing matches even though you hit the ball better than your opponent, should players be taught to slide on hardcourt, what are the pros and cons of training with a ball machine, is Daniil Medvedev's technique as unorthodox as everyone says, where does a player get power from, how do elite pros still have weak parts of their game, should more players hit slice for their 2nd serve?
