Progress since last July

Reverse Pendulum Back-Side Spin: I haven't been trying this serve as much recently. My form has stabilized a good bit, but I'm still missing this serve too much. My biggest problem though is to get good spin. It still doesn't have even half the spin as my normal pendulum version. Maybe I should try to hit the ball with the trailing edge of my paddle again.

Forehand loops: Really starting to come together. I'm able to use them in matches. Pretty comfortable looping against topspin. Started to recently loop inside-out, but is still a work in progress. Mostly am able to do this only against mid-height balls. When I'm focused I probably have one of the better loops against backspin in the club, but too often I'm attempting this shot off balance or without the proper concentration and form. I'm able to loop moderately fast balls now and sometimes even fast shots, both backspin and topspin. Though that could use work.

Forehand pushes: I'm feeling more comfortable with this shot, but I never practice it so it becomes a bit rusty at times. I've relented on trying this shot with side-spin. May be something to try again, if I bring this back as a focus. I usually do this shot to the backhand side. Maybe should think about putting this more to the forehand, since most people at my level can't loop against backspin consistently.

No Spin Serves: Probably the part of my game that has made the most progress, after forehand loops. One of my best serves now. I still miss these occasionally because my concentration falters. My form is still fluctuating a bit on this. Should develop these with better disguise and add a couple more to my other motions.

Reading Serves: Not sure if I've made a lot of progress here. On my forehand side taking the serves a little later goes a long way to improving this though. On the backhand side it's a still hard against servers that I don't play very often. Doing better against JH though.

Returning No spin serves: I can do this now, but mostly I'm just lifting these back. I should try to start looping these.

Backhand loops: I'd say I'm at about the same place as in July. I think my progress was set back a decent amount by experimenting with rubbers. Now I'm back to the ol' trusty Desto F3 and I'm a lot happier. After I feel good about looping falling balls with my forehand, we'll see about refocusing on my backhand.
