Coaching Tip of the Week: Relax Your Arm During Backswing

(By Larry Hodges) Especially when looping, you need a loose arm to maximize power. Many players literally jerk their arm backwards when looping.

Instead, let the shot go, accelerating smoothly through the shot. Don’t try to “muscle” it – that just leads to spastic shots and a […]

(By Larry Hodges) If you don’t have something that threatens your opponent, then you can’t threaten the opponent.  So, how do you develop something that threatens an opponent? You can’t do it by just training everything equally each session. You need to spend a huge amount of time developing the things you can do that […]
