How about adding some lead tape. I did that to mine and I'm loving it! :)

Yeah, they did get the point. In fact, they hit a winner off of that let. And yes, they had a big player. Martina Navratilova played in the women's doubles, singles, and mixed doubles. She was the feature player for the night. :D

I just got back from seeing my WTT match in Houston and tonight's feature player was Martina Narvratilova. It was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed it! It's a fun, relaxed, and entertaining atmosphere. And it's very affordable as well! The match lasted almost 3 hours, but that's with some overtime...

Why don't you try Sam's Club again since you liked your other one from there?

Allison, I know you said you want lightweight shoes, but I've been wearing Adidas Barricade III's for a couple of weeks and they're the most comfortable and supportive tennis shoes I've ever worn! They're not exactly "lightweight" but once you get out on the court you don't notice. I highly...

Thanks Fee! :D I'll try my best to remember to keep you posted! And about Andy, I agree. And I sure do love having him as a neighbor! :D

Yeah, the A&M players are definitely jerks! You're right about that! Most people I've met from there are that way. And yes, our #1 guy is amazing! I've watched him play plenty of times! You know what really sucks about the Final at Nationals? We won more matches than A&M but they counted by...

Yes, I do play club tennis here. I'm trying out for the competitive team in the fall. :D

Immature as it may be, you guys sound like you have a lot of fun! And that's how it should be! :D Oh, and I'd probably go on...The Apprentice!

Brett, have you visited any colleges? Like I said, don't worry about the tennis aspect because you'll be able to play anywhere. Find a place where you feel comfortable and like you belong there. And also a place with a wide variety of majors since you don't know what you want to do yet.

Yes, seriously! Austin is one of the most liberal places I've ever been to, as is UT. I should know, I go to UT Austin. Just walk around the campus, talk to a few people; you'll see. Anyway, I think it's nice that Andy is giving the "Hook 'Em" sign. It's good to know he appreciates Austin...

I agree with nViATi. You can't classify a player by their racquet that accurately. Sure, some racquets are suited for S&V and some are better for baseliners, but to say things like "Pure Drive-powerful and inaccurate serve" isn't always correct. I know plenty of people with accurate serves who...

Brett, once you have the equipment that suits you, you can't blame it anymore. Especially if you play well with them during practice and stuff. If it's only during matches that you're having problems then it's totally on you. Sorry dude :(

The athletes who are signed with lacoste don't wear their shoes because they're not very good, but they do exist. Very hard to find, but they exist. So you're right, they're not tour level, but they're out there. And I bet Andy's Babolat shoes will be very cool :D

Babolat already has shoes, so this won't be the first time. As for Lacoste, supposedly they have one or two tennis shoes, but they're not very good according to people who have tried them.

Yeah no kidding. It won't happen again! ;)

Thermal Delight in Architecture by Lisa Heschong. It was for school.

Good for you! That's great! :D

I had a very scary moment with my racquets a couple of weeks ago. I have 2 brand new Babolat PD+ and I went to play with some friends. One of them didn't have a racquet so I let her use one of mine. We were playing doubles and I clearly called "I GOT IT" when the ball came to our side. This girl...

I think Blake is balding AND he also gave his locks to charity. Killed two ****s with one stone.

HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

But definitely KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL no matter what! :D

All of the things you listed sound pretty good. Grunting may frustrate your opponent since it's so freakin' annoying, so that might work. As for the song thing, I actually had a song stuck in my head a couple of weeks ago during a tournament, and instead of getting annoyed by it I just sang in...

HAHA! You read my mind! I saw that too and LMAO at that kid the whole time! I think his name was Hart if I remember correctly. Okay I just looked it up and that was his name. He even had to give all the girls free clothes so they would go! And he just thought he was so great! His dad wasn't much...

Yes, this is true. I actually did my senior project on tennis last year and it was called real or royal tennis as you said. Certain terminologies in tennis such as "deuce" also have french roots.

Wow. A clay court is cheaper than a hard court? Go figure...

HAHA! Yes, please ask him. I'm very curious! Let me know! ;)

Thanks Noelle! I'm very happy to be a part of TW!

Yep. That's what it sounds like now. If you can't execute a gameplan, I guess you'll just have to go out there and do your best. Good Luck! :)

While this is true for many big/fat opponents, we don't know how fat this kid is. That's why I still think we need more info about him if we want to help Brett out. I'm just saying the more we know, the better. What if making him run around doesn't work? If we knew more about his game we could...
