The Ultimate Challenge: 1000 Forehands in a Row!
In our video on the forehand counterhit, Alois casually mentioned that if you can hit 1,000 forehands in a row you know you have mastered the stroke. Well, we thought we had better put ourselves to the test. So here is us attempting to hit 1,000 forehands on in a row. Enjoy!

OMG!!!!
I am beyond impressed!!!! You two are machines!!!! Absolutely loved watching this. It was great to be able to study the strokes from two perspectives without interruption. I know I will improve as a result of watching this. Thank you both for taking the time to make this and the almost superhuman effort and talent. You guys ROCK!!!

I like that you guys stress consistency which I think is underappreciated. At the lower levels, where I currently reside, consistency is so important. Getting the ball back a couple of more times per game can make the difference between winning and losing. I'm trying to be more consistent in my play. Keep up the good work.

Obviously, it takes 2 to tango. I was betting Jeff would be the one to miss. His way of hitting is more "stressful", I would say, like more for a match than for a demonstration. While Alois way looks simpler and more relaxed. Hooray to both!! Getting to that level of precision and concentration is something to admire.

Thanks for all the comments and observations.
@Ujjal, we were surprised we did this on the first attempt!
@Paul, it was actually fun to try - I'm glad you got a lot out of it!
@Rick, it is so true, consistency is so important. It seems obvious but if you can get one ball back more than your opponent you win the point :)!
@Eduardo, yes Alois definintely has the more relaxed swing which is probably better since the more relaxed you are generally the faster you can swing which is why all the good players in the World make it look so effortless!
