she's just rich so she can play there

bollettieri wouldn't take her if she didn't gave any money

Actually, we aren't rich. We were at Bollettieri's for only one day but were fortunate enough to be there the day they were making videos. It was extremely expensive ($320/day for squad lessons) and we were disappointed because students get little coaching. For acutal coaching, you need to pay for private lessons and if you want Bollettieri, you need to come up with a grand per hour. The advantage of Bollettieri, though, is that you get to play against some of the best juniors in the world.

your wrong about agassi being a lefty. When you reversed Agassi's second clip of the backhand, you had his reversed. When you flipped him, he bacame normal. So you were incorrect about agassi's backhand being on the left to begin with.

[holleyrobert]

You're right. The tennis instructor who commented on this video made the mistake. Sherri is left-handed. The instructor flipped Tommy Haas from righty to lefty for comparison purposes for Sherri's forehand but when he deleted the Tommy Haas video, the software left Sherri being a righty. Her backhand shows her playing righty and Agassi being a lefty It's actually quite funny. It's very perceptive of you.

[Federer2001]

I am also a Tennis intructor for children. What he is saying about forehand and backhand is correct. Her serve could have a better ball toss. But other than that. She looks good.

[holleyrobert]

Thanks. Actually, she has already made the suggested changes to her groundstrokes and serve. If you type my handle, holleyrobert, into the search engine, it will bring up Sherri's second video of her progress upto February of this year. Since I made that video, her groundstrokes have improved even more. She now also uses a one-handed backhand volley and is just starting to learn a one-handed slice backhand from the baseline.

Thanks for your comments,

Cheers

[2muchdeano]

I wouldn't pay them 5 cents an hour!!!

[AceGuitarR7]

a grand an hour? are you kidding?

[Tony07UK]

Good point!

[Tony07UK]

Well spotted! Unless they've flipped the video ... the first sequence shows her coach analysing her left-handed forehand; he even makes reference to her being a 'lefty'. Later she demonstrates a 2-handed backhand, yet on her left-hand side!
