James Hopgood TP 2012
This triple by James Hopgood was not entirely straightforward and, for that reason is really interesting to the student. Stephen Mulliner was double banking on the same lawn, so James tried to play round Stephen. I have put James's summary of the game at the beginning which makes the video more interesting to watch. After the peels are done I switched the video to fast so you can watch the whole game without nodding off!

Robert Fulford TP 1992
This video was taken with a domestic camera and it shows! It was the 1992 Open Championships and is a memorable game because it was Robert's 21st TP running in an unbroken sequence of TPs at Championship level. The game is on the cricket pitch at Hurlingham against my old doubles partner Tom Browne.

Reg Bamford Sextuple 2004
This video shows every shot of the game. It starts with the opening on the East boundary. Reg hits with the fourth ball, goes round to 1 back. leaving Pete Trimmer cross wired at hoop 1. Pete shoots at the "tea lady" (the ball in corner three) but just misses. Reg then goes on to finish the game with yet another sextuple. It was Reg's 7th Sextuple running in the Men's Championships at Hurlingham. I had to change tapes so lost two shots in the break. With Reg's cooperation we filmed these at Cheltenham a couple of weeks later and after some colourisation changes, I inserted them into the video so that they are almost unnoticeable.
