Well, played our first Masters doubles 50+ match last night. Couple solid 4.5 opponents. Took me a while to adjust to both the hard courts and their pace. Played a better second set but still lost 6-1, 6-2. My partner's serve was off all night. He was going for way too much on his first serve and only had one game where he hit it more than once. I felt my job was just clearing balls from the net. He would either get a service winner or they would tee off on his second serve.
My serve wasn't great but I did hold once and got to ad in every other time. Just struggled to finish those crucial points. Should have held once more as I hit a great serve out wide causing a sitter but as my partner was going to put it away, the opposing net man called a let for ball in court. Replayed the point and lost it.
So its time to make hay in the consolations which was our plan all along. Looking at the draw we did win the most games in our loss as none of the other consolation teams won more than one game. That should give us a bye into the finals. One match to defend out consolation championship from last year.
Of course the guys that beat us have to play the 5.0 guys.
Interesting. Yonex makes quality products for sure.
I would but TW demo dept. may not appreciate me doing that.
King Kong racket = Big Bubba 137
Yes, I'm in LA, CA but that racket would be too heavy for me. I'm looking for 11 oz of less.
I just had the new blue and yellow strung up ... passed on the pink.
No he's a poodle mix. He had really long fur until I had him cut short Friday = he was getting too hot.

This is him a couple weeks ago. He loves the water. Poodles were originally bred to be water retrievers - I googled it after he started jumping in the pool as a puppy.
Not too long. He chased everything and I always wanted a frisbee dog so I just started tossing a frisbee just out of his reach. At first he couldn't catch it at all and I figured 'no dice' but soon enough he caught a few, then more. Now with a good throw he's probably 90% catch.
If you want to teach your dog (I just learned this saturday at the halftime 'pro' exhibition) the way to do it is to roll a frisbee like a ball and get the dog used to it (since lots of dogs naturally chase a ball but no so much a frisbee). Then start throwing. Makes sense!
His funniest trick/trait is if he gets bored in the summer he will take a ball and drop it in the pool and then jump in and play fetch with himself. I think he purposely does this as we are about to leave for somewhere because he knows we can't leave/let him in till he's dry!

Always with the questions, this oneHow many guys in here are still scoring with women in their 20's ? or are you guys too old and too wrinkly and turning these girls off already ?? Like this dude here in his 50's scoring with women in 20's ... for example.
