Started a few months ago, and I think I’ve improved a lot lately but my initial line of thought was I’d wait at least a year before changing my racquet. I got a 100 sq in blade v9 and slapped multifilament strings on it

I don’t necessarily hate the racquet, but I don’t “love” it either. It just feels a little meh? It does the job and that’s it. Sometimes I don’t even feel the ball, and the feedback I get is from watching the ball’s flight path. I’m not sure how much of that is user error, but it’s probably the reason, right?

I bought a Blade a few months ago, not knowing they were releasing a new one soon after my purchase. Currently think it’s too soon for me to buy yet another racquet, but really intrigued by the TFight. Don’t want to make the same mistake again.

At a neutral stance, is my entire body facing sideways with both feet planted? What happens to the unit turn if it’s like I’m in a facing “forward” towards the walls with only my head facing the net?

Is my weight more balanced with my left foot also holding some weight? I’m kind of confused where the initial weight is supposed to be.

On an open/semi-open stance (right-handed), is my right leg supposed to have all the weight and left foot is on tippy toes barely touching the ground, or should the left foot be firmly planted (i.e. I can feel the ground underneath)?

On an approach shot or general forehand shots, if my chest and feet are pointing to the side wall, am I hitting the ball slightly diagonally from me? Like not in front of my chest, but also not directly between my front shoulder and the net?
