    Great video. I coach tennis and played D1 for context. A tip for you since you were nice enough to make this video.

    Your right leg on your serve needs to be tucked back further, it’s causing your right him to open up too early into your serve which is robbing you of power.

    you can just use your phone camera and skip the radar gun. (60fps) measure the serve from contact to hitting the service box. Pretty accurate.

    Love SwingVision! I’ve been using it for nearly 3 years now and all my tennis buddies love when I bring it. After each match, I post the video to our Tennis What’sApp group and everyone chimes in on good shots, bad shots, and silly highlights. 100% worth it and I learned a lot about what I’m doing right and wrong!

    I might’ve missed the mention, but I do want to point out that Swingvision is unfortunately not available on Android yet.

    ❤a quick Letter of which sent for all my brothers and sisters of Linux.I am here so I can help you, as a fellow pc and Linux user my Linux os may though its same in ways and different in many others to yours , I will share to y’all members I really think it would be extremely important and you will need: a new Linux app, known by Hardpass-VM made by kstrl, It runs Windows apps well like a Linux-supported app, winboat this one has full GPU and hardware support usb port access and such it is has entire access to a hardware and it’s components cpu you name it and its new app, With less than a full year worth imf updates/maintainance — so we can’t truly expect a non flawed app, I How ever can say, this one is way much better than a Winboat & winpodx in sheer raw might and power in its strong and mighty performance and users can try to Share it around as I did with and For yall. I did because I do care about Linux, and users of Linux so we should try making videos about it on YouTube, as I’m sure you have a Gmail/YouTube accounts. Spread it to all /anyone that might need it or may end up in need of it just so it may grow, thrive, do well and will just by reaching to a high number in amount of users if you see this you can be first to review it

    Instead of the Saber, why not just buy a cheap wooden racket from a thrift shop. The head size is super tiny and you get a nice twang feedback when you hit the center of the strings.

      @vlesmeries the saber is made to feel and play like a modern tennis racket
