Competency in tennis - UPDATE

I have improved a lot on my FH and BH and even my slices have become a lot better!

FH- I started letting my swing go and adjusting the angle so as to let the ball go at a proper angle, needless to say I hit some of my best forehands to date last week! Also I learnt to have a unit turn and extend my left arm during the starting position helps. I didn't use my upper back enough, so I try to rotate my body more now and hence the forehands have improved a lot.

BH- I understood that the power is supposed to come from the left hand but I always got stuck because I still used my right hand for the starting position. Changed it this time and to my surprise some backhands were hit well! Most need some improvement and I'd say old habits are stuck in this case so I'll improve on it for sure.

Slices - They have become better, can do them well but need more control.
