I need it because I serve too many faults.
I agree that quick serving can also mess up your own game; at least, it's a problem I've seen with other people who serve like that.  However, I think it also impacts your opponent by throwing off their timing in receive.  They might not even realize it's a problem (depends upon how experienced they are).  And only some people do the whole "raising your hand thing." 

I also am pretty confident that left-handed players have some problems seeing you contact.  I'm very experienced with this and I never complain any more because the righties either argue (which I don't like) or they say they'll fix it but they really can't.  You can't assume that just because people don't complain doesn't mean they don't have an issue.

This is me versus our best national player Carlos Machado. I was lucky enough to classify for the final round and play against him. It's an official regional tourney and so embarrassing situation that you don't care about the score but you don't want to be hardly punished, though.

You have all the pieces of a solid game and play at a respectable level. A big difference I saw was how much more relaxed Machado's body movements were compared to yours. The constant state of knowing one has to play the top his game just to keep up with a superior opponent's relaxed game can be nerve wracking. I tense up as well in such situations.

Thanks.  Yeah, I would do that but I have RA so I never know whether anything will ever heal.

It's been a long time since I've posted a video of my playing or even bothered to record and look at one.  This one was an eye opener in that I had not realized how much I had fallen into the habit of "safely" pushing back almost every serve. That's a pretty bad habit.

Bad habit hmmmm
I only watched the first game but your returns gave your opponent lots of problems and he could not get in his 3rd ball attacks with any consistency. But yes, mix that with a more aggressive attack now and then.

I'm not sure that pushing so much was a bad idea here.  Maybe you had subconsciously figured out that it was your best strategy with this opponent.  He clearly had trouble with his attack, particularly attacking underspin.  When you pushed, he either pushed back (setting you up for a good attack) or he attacked (with a low percentage of success).  In the rallies where you started the aggression first, that allowed him to loop or block top spin and he did much better in those rallies.

Please keep in mind that Jay plays hardbat so there isn't that much underspin on the ball. Ashutosh generally doesn't like the serve returns fairly short and low as he doesn't move in well. He likes to play fast and if he gets in the ball in his strike zone his loops are very good. It certainly helps that I know both players...

I know Jay and I had the same impression about Ashutosh just from watching the videos.  I just thought that Jay played smart and didn't need to be down on himself.

Even when pushing is working well, I think a player should still be mixing it up a bit.  Failing to do so makes it easier for your opponent to get comfortable with your returns.  And that can lead to mistakes in pushing as you try to place the push too low or locate it with too much risk. I think I was actually a bit lucky that Ashutosh didn't get more aggressive against my returns.

The problem of pushing too many returns is actually more apparent in a match that I won after being being down two games to zero and 9-3 in the third game.  I salvaged that third game with luck and a subtle change in serve strategy that revealed a weakness in my opponent's game that day. That weakness was the edge I needed to win the next two games. I didn't post that match because it was a poster child for the concept of "winning ugly." 

Your comment about Ashutosh doing much better in the rallies where I initiated the aggression surprised me a bit.  That wasn't my perception.  I do agree that it is a poor strategy for me to get into topspin to topspin rallies though.  But I still think it is to my advantage to be aggressive.  But I need to make that first strike strong enough to prevent a strong counter.  But your comment got me wondering if I was actually being successful in that or not.

So I just went through and simply tallied up the points where I initiated the aggression.  The first number is the number of time I initiated and lost the point.  The second number is when I initiated and lost the point.  The W or L indicates whether I won or lost that game.
G1 4-6 L
G2 6-2 W
G3 3-5 L
G4 4-1 W
G5 5-4 W

Total 22 - 18

The pattern is clear and not surprising. So while Ashutosh may have been more successful when I opened up than when I didn't (will have to do a different tally to check that), the key seems to be that when I'm aggressive, I need to make sure that I'm more successful than he is. Kinda obvious I guess.  But it is interesting how well the numbers bear that out in this match.

I'm not down on myself.  Sorry if I lent that impression.  I'm just trying to constructively criticize my play so I will do better down the road.  

Given that I'm playing hardbat against sponge, I tend to approach matches with the idea that I need to be better tactically against challenging opponents.  So I really do try to "play smart." It is a fools errand for me to try to win using power as a main strategy - unless my opponent is a defensive player or is clearly weaker than I am. While I do enjoy counter-looping against inverted, it isn't my best percentage play. :^)

Nice hardbat play! I agree, you should mix up your service returns.  However, I could tell his serves were very precise and heavy so I can understand choosing a safer push rather than a flip.  I once encountered a prominent full-time hardbatter that flips all his serve returns and it can backfire too.  I suppose finding the right balance and mixing it up is the key.

By the way, congrats on the SF showing in the U2K.  That event was full of mid-1900s.  Good showing.
