This happened on 5th December 2020.
This was a semi-private lesson with David, it was an hour I paired up with Kyle.
We enjoyed ourselves so much and David is a strategy coach so I learned many things from him that day.
Here is what I wrote that day after the coaching.
How to win in matches David’s way
Getting winner
- Hitting into the open court.
- Hitting fast ball
- Have a game at your pace.
- Weight on the front.
Kohtaro’s way
- Create open space by attacking first
No misses
- Doing your takeback faster
- getting back to your position faster.
- Less double fault.
Kohtaro’s way
- Stand behind the baseline, and react to the ball fast
Answer from David to my question
- When I am angry think of me winning the game
- You should use topspin as main, but you can use slice
- Change your pronation when changing your serve direction
- Face your body in the direction where you want to hit
