Hi Nate,
Firstly wait for our DVD on Returning Secrets Revealed..., but you may have gone crazy by the time we get it out, hopefully later this year. The key to returning serevs is to put yourself in a position where you are playing as many different types of servers as possible. Then you need to watch carefully not only the balls that go back on but also the balls that miss. Your brain needs to record these clearly. Try to watch them without emotion, which can be really difficult especially in a middle of a match on an important point. The more you are able to watch these clearly the quicker you will gather information. It is all about doing it as many times as you can.
In the DVD we will also go through the basics of spin and what to do with your bat to return the ball. The most effective method is to do it 10,000 times...

Hi Ji-Soo,
Hmmm, we have a planning meeting on Sunday. I will tell you more after that. We have been really tied up in the last few months.
