So you teach at that Concourse club and at an apartment complex? That's cool.

It's still a good video. The guy lives in Irvine and does his lessons at an apartment complex, from what I understand.

That Sounds Exactly like ME!

opening up to do a cross court shot is not really a bad thing. but this video is simple and talks about enough key points for this to be an advance lesson.  i can simplify it more so but thats my style

No, I don't see those problems in your jumping backhand video. Your shoulder blade has a full turn, your forearm went all the way back because you wound up your hands to your other shoulder, and your front leg went down far enough and your hips turned into the ball.

I think he says he's normally a two handed player, if I remember correctly. I've seen his other videos.

Straight back backhand, without the slight Fed loop. It is good, but that backhand will get in trouble on the high ones, without a doubt, just like Fed's.

He should've held his shoulder blade to the ball longer and bring his arm behind more for coil. So he armed his backhand with a straight arm and falls to the side falling on his left leg.

I should see his hitting forearm slide behind his elbow for more racquet head speed. Instead he left it straight and I see his forearm the entire time. Fed tucks his forearm behind the elbow. Even Laver tucked his elbow bent for more racquet head speed.

Last thing is his front leg doesn't bend much. He hopped forwards into it, then fell to the side. He could have a bigger hip coil, stayed balanced to get more power.
