Copying Gauff's forehand worked beautifully. Until it didn't.
My shot gained about 20 miles per hour of velocity, and loads of spin. The ball was landing and seeming to take off on impact, and everything was dropping near the baseline.
Another point against the wisdom of the aged: The injury was not exactly a shock. My shoulder’s ball and socket are pretty much in a forced marriage. They seem to have little interest in a life together. On a few occasions, they’ve even separated without cause. Well before the Gauff mania, I would be woken up in the middle of the night by the need to jam my arm back in my body after it attempted a quiet escape.
So, as one might expect, doing these exercises just made everything worse because this injury was apparently on a different part of the shoulder than the others.
