1% Wins Friday
Before you wrap up the week — what’s your 1% win from the last seven days? It could be technical — like cleaner resets, sharper footwork, or improved control. It could be mental — staying composed under pressure or keeping focus after a bad rep.Or it could simply be that you showed up and got the work in when it would’ve been easier not to. Drop your 1% below 👇 — those small wins are what stack into mastery.

Working on footwork away from the court. When I play, I’m lazy. I don’t move my feet to get behind the ball. Instead, I reach. I have found I’m just not comfortable with the movement patterns needed for the lunge step, shuffle step and drop step. So I’ve started to practice these patterns several times a day. Whenever I remember. Shadow stepping. I’m not sure if this will help me be less lazy on the court. 🤷🏼 But I’m using it as a first step (so to speak).

1️⃣. Forehand topspin drives, cross-court from the right hand side. I am getting more consistent with these, sometimes seeing them dip below the net at my opponent’s feet. Starting to try to place these wider at times; I usually aim for the inside foot (right handed player’s backhand) but hitting the outside near the line is effective too. 2️⃣. Following my drops. At least a step or two. Even if I get blown up sometimes. I decided that would be a main focus during open play today. Very unsuccessful. 😕 Next time! 3️⃣. Depleted.

Advanced Put-Away: Brush-Across (not up)
The first two put-aways by the pro in red on the right side of the screen. It’s a brush across the outside of the ball—not a high-to-low chop or classic “brush up.” Mechanic - Contact: in front, waist–shoulder high - Face: neutral/slightly closed - Path: across the outside edge (FH: right→left across; BH: left→right across) - Speed = pace: faster brush across = more pace without sailing long - Finish: across to outside shoulder/hip, not down Use it when - Shoulder-high or lower ball at the NVZ and you’re set - You want a body-line finish (hips/ribs/shoulder) or to pull the defender off their spot Skip it when - Above your strike zone (hit an overhead) - You’re off-balance or reaching (reset/place middle) Common misses → quick fixes - Into net: path went down → keep it across with neutral face - Floats long: face open → close slightly, shorten finish - Jammed: late contact → meet earlier Mini-drill (6 min) - FH (20 balls): brush-across to near-shoulder/hip; track makes/20 - BH (20 balls): two-hand OK; track - Alt 10: call “across” before contact Your turnWant this in next week’s HPT reps? Comment YES and which side (FH/BH) you want more work on.

Thanks for the kind words, Thomas.🙏 ✋🏻 I played three or more times.🙄☺️ I played mostly lower-ish skill level this week. I worked on: - Finding and exploiting weaknesses in my opponents - Deep serves - Deep returns - Dropping the third, but erring on the high side. Or dripping when they don’t make the kitchen line. The couple games I played that were higher level I was able to find a couple partners who would work on strategy. Played a couple games with a guy where we isolated the left side player’s backhand, pulled them wide, and exploited the gap it created. It actually worked. It was fun.

I’m so old I can’t seem to find the actual poll. 👨🦳 But for me, I think footwork. Maybe those who observe me play disagree though. And thanks - I had a fun foursome early, and a good training session with y’all today. 👍🏻🙂
