Not sure if I would call this classic, but its a decent two-hander. He curls his wrists in the backswing prep like Rafa. Most players will have the racquet pointing straight back, not curled around, but it works for him and it probably gives him more rotation.

@MegaReemas I haven't seen K-dog for awhile, it would be cool to show what he looks like now...he's 19 now, this was when he was 15

These commenters are right; the arm shouldn't be kept down like that.

Apart from that, I noticed two other areas needing improvement:

1. Contact point was too close. If you can't tell right away, take a look at his left arm. In the follow through, it should be straight. His is not.

2. What the hell kind of footwork is that? He ends up like a pretzel! He should be stepping forward more, and coming around with the left foot to promote rotation and aid recovery.

hi10spro contradicts himself! He has promoted a video where kids are being taught to rotate the outer foot around closer to the net ... and here he's showing a video where clearly the outer foot is placed well behind - so which is it? hi10spro hasn't got a clue what he's talking about!

@hi10spro np doesnt take too much effort gotta balance it out

[hi10spro]

@nevermoonawolf thanks bro. i love when the public squashes the lunacy of others

@VerdascoFan <----this guyhs comment is a year old but I would like to say this guy is fucking twat and doesnt deserve an explanation as to why its pretty self explanatory

[hi10spro]

@VerdascoFan you got video?

[VerdascoFan]

@hi10spro haha. whatever. My strokes are ALOT better than that shit. I do admit that i`ve only seen 1 of his shots though. So show me some more vids of him hitting and tell me his name and what school he`s playing for......is he even playing D1 ;)

[hi10spro]

@VerdascoFan you realize he's 14 at this time. now he's 19...and probably would squash you...he was also boys #1 in 12's, 14's, 16's, and 18's... so when you want to play him...he's ready for you. He plays for a university and is going to enter some futures... and the last time we played that backhand was beastly... it was all coaching...

[VerdascoFan]

@hi10spro Dude.....If he's the best junoir in Hawaii then everyone else must be worse than my grandmother. He sucks. NOT a good shot. That's not something I would brag to peole about that this kid with shitfuck strokes and shots is the best....that says something buddy and that thing is not "Hooray!" If i were you i'd be trying to improve tennnis in hawaii instead of having kids like this pwning. (shudder)
