Hi everyone,

Been lurking for the last few weeks and really enjoyed some of the tips here, especially liked the stop aiming at the flag since I'm a bit of a data nerd. About a 9-10 handicap but looking to take the game more seriously and hope to improve this year.

I would like to start a my swing thread, the only video I have is fairly close up shot in the booth since this winter will never end. I'm not sure how strict the video quality rules are for that thread, is it worth starting one or should I wait until the weather warms up enough to get a better angle? Tough to answer without anyone seeing the video I know.

Ready for winter to be over.

Welcome! You can probably just start a swing thread with whatever video you have, but if you want the skinny on filming your swing, you can find it here:

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
