Shamir you know what's been happening with me I've had a little bit of an eye issue did I
tell you about that no I'll tell you off camera but I haven't been seeing the ball that well
I've been like framing more balls I'm not seeing it as well as I used to because of
my eye problem and I got to make sure I wear sunglasses more than I normally do I don't like
wearing sunglasses when I play yeah in any case like since my eyesight is not as good as it used
to be I have this thing right here to saber ever seen this it's the smallest racket in the world
yeah and I would like to play out a few points against you with the saber and see how I do okay
I honestly don't think I got a chance with this thing I think you want to smoke me I don't know
dude there's no chance look how small this is I know but I think what will happen is that it will
hyper focus on a ball and this will work on my Vision my eyesight and I'll hit the ball cleaner
once I grab my racket all right so let's play out a few points with this okay all right sounds good
I honestly don't think I'll be able to make contact but I think it's great training I cannot
believe I'm making contact I'm so surprised but again I'm hyper focusing on the ball this is great
all right we go let's test this out from the Baseline oh
I'm really like hyper focusing on the ball I'm watching it like a hawk it's so far so good
I'm not doing that bad actually
let me try to blast one huh yeah it's not bad
at all yeah I'm gonna serve to you first we'll play out a few points
I'm gonna play out some points with this racket yes okay
okay here we go
nice shamir go for it shamir why aren't you running for it man
oh no no come on Nick nice rally shamir
Shamir make the ball come on more effort more intensity Shamir you're standing around too much
are you sure now don't cheat me now this is with this I got the saber you're gonna cheat me on top
no ok I believe you it was long all right there was
a good rally though a couple of couple of decent backhands
Shamir what happened man
you're not trying to run around your backhand on the first serve right
but even though I'm using the saber you know I'm still serving kind of quick
don't run around your backhand on first serves ever that's the number
one rule of returning first serves don't forget that don't ever run around yeah
yeah and he does it again right away he does it again Shamir what in the world man
well what okay so if it's body even more reason to not try to get around it but just put your
racket right here and do a bot do a block dude I want to test the saber I'm playing
better than I expected and he's I need you to get some balls back in play come on man
play it
oh there's the first frame nice rally Shamir I like that you're playing really well like your
serve is still fast and it's still and you're still hitting your spots it's still really hard
but this is good because I'm hyper focusing on the ball and I'm making good contact this is good
Shamir that was on purpose I meant to hit it right there
oh I was going for a little angle right there no I'm just kidding it was a shank. Oh it was a shank? yeah oh
okay I believe yeah now the footwork is crucial when you're playing with a
racket head this small yeah yeah you really gotta move your feet I didn't on that backhand
oh no that was too good again Shamir come on all right be ready back there
Shamir in the corners you got to put more spin dude more Top Spin in
the corners on the forehand now don't relax back there I'm playing pretty good with the
saber I'm very concentrated right now like I'm I'm fully focused because I
got to make clean contact yeah so you be ready back there high intensity come on
he's trying to get the returns in I know that high intensity my friend here we go
you're not taking easy on me at all you're on testing the saber man I gotta
play all out I thought that I was gonna play terrible with it but I'm surprising myself
where are you coming in for Shamir stay back
smaller head size too big you can't do smaller than this look at this thing
let's take a little break okay guys I highly recommend the saber racket you
can take a look at how small the racket head is this really forces you to focus
in on the ball and not only work on your vision and seeing the ball better but it
also forces you to remove your feet better to play with more intensity
but Shamir look where he's standing dude do you remember our last lessons or no
why are you standing so close to the middle
Shamir cover the corner stand closer to the alley man
you got a wide open hole right there second
you're literally standing in the middle of that side Shamir
Shamir I gotta tell you this thing is phenomenal it's 300 grams
10.5 ounces yeah he's got a 37 square inch head and I'm telling you I'm focusing so hard
hit the ball clean I'm working really hard yeah it's a very good Training
Ema you want to try? here it looks easy it's actually not as hard as I thought it would be
the spoon isn't I think the strings make the big difference
oh you guys never met he's famous he's very famous
it's strange right
clean
go Ema go
That was a clean forehand though. It's not bad right?
the racket feels really good it's balanced really well
go again go again
go second Shamir 11 11 o'clock right on top of your head kick it in okay good
play play
what do you think Emma it's not bad right your forehand looks so clean I know it's such a it's
such a like well-made racket it's like graphite it's really surprising isn't it yeah I'm really
surprised I think it's I actually think it's really good training because I'm like working
my butt off and you're like really trying hard to see the ball right yes yeah I agree
Shamir are you ready to try it now okay all right come on I don't know if I can
do it I'm gonna I'm gonna feed you okay hyper focus on the ball Shamir Hyper Focus
be on your toes come on small steps wow look at this Shamir you're on fire man

good Shamir come on come on trust the backhand
here we go trust the SHOT shamir trust it here we go and one more come on

racket after practicing with the saber I highly recommend this racket is a high quality product
