This is a video that follows the previous two that explain the basics of German grip and how to play a full rebound stroke. In this episode I recap the stuff I explained before and talk you through a few simple exercises that will get you bouncing the sticks. This video is long as it includes explanations of each exercise. Once you've got it, just skip to the actual playalong bit. I will upload a video with only playalongs soon.
