This board has been quiet for a while now (as have I). A lot is going on. Any thoughts on where things are at in the world of elite technique? Maybe we could focus on elite teaching techniques if we think the mechanics are pretty much ironed out now.

I have been studying the teaching methods of Tim Gallwey. He wrote The Inner Game of Tennis which focuses on awareness as the primary mode of learning. It's fascinating stuff. Very Zenlike. Has anyone else used these techniques?

Kirk Mcbride chased everyone away from here. This place is dead now. Been so for a long time now thanks to kirky's rudeness. He always was jusy a wanna be.
Every jot and every tittle adds up to more than just a little.
