Offer for Free Online Lessons: Post videos of you playing or just practicing for help with your game (finally following through on an idea I've had for awhile)

I've had this idea for a long time but probably have made it more complicated in my head than it needs to be. The basic idea is this:

1. Post a link in this thread to a video of yourself swinging the racket. Of course the higher res the better, the longer the better, but it doesn't need to be. Just take your smartphone camera, prop it up on a towel in front of the glass court and hit record. Or get your friend to hold it in front of you while you hit some down-the-lines. If you have some old video of you playing that's great too. Upload to YouTube and paste a link to the video in this thread.

2. Tell us what you're working on. If you want help with something specific, let us know. Otherwise we'll assume you're open to any and all observations. If you'd like some help with your form then try to include some video of you practicing (help with your gameplay, then obviously include video of a match).

3. Tell us your experience & goals. Knowing a little about how long you've been playing will really help guide the feedback to be appropriate for you: what division or skill level you're at, whether or not you play tournaments (and what US state), and if you have any competitive goals are all helpful.

You might notice that I said "us" above when talking about giving feedback to posted videos - that's because I know there are some other Open players on here as well as quite a few people who have given racquetball lessons in the past, or still do. If this subreddit was bigger I might be worried about too many people providing too much advice, some of which might be conflicting (or even wrong), but I dont think we have to worry about that yet...I hope we get big enough to have that problem some day. :)

This is the simple version of what I've had in my head for a couple years now. If we get a good response maybe I'll post some of my other ideas about how we could make this something really fun and unique (for example, a monthly online clinic with "video assignments" for people to upload: take a videos of yourself this week hitting 10 ceiling balls in a row, returning serve, practicing a 30 second drill, etc.)

Anyways, nuff said. I hurt my back in August and haven't been able to play much this season, so I have some free time and a racquetball itch I can't seem to scratch...hopefully this will help me as much as you!

p.s. Don't forget to upvote any and all rball posts to help them get visible on people's home pages. I know that I'm personally one to get distracted with all the other goodies on reddit and forget to come in here to check what's been posted... so unless it is spam, or something that jdcollins has posted, we should be upvoting everything in here. (love you, JD. ;)
