It takes 9-11 years average for someone to get from the beginner to the elite level (this holds true for almost every developed sport/game).

In the context of an airbourne sit & lift forehand + all else equal, it is indeed accurate.



Unrealistic doesn't mean impossible. It simply means it's unrealistic in this context.

It was mostly a good discussion, but I think we could cut down on the worthlessness next time around. Although we never came to an agreement, I think we all learned a lot from this discussion.

Safin isn't a straight armer and his contact point is further in front than roddick, who uses a much more extreme grip.

Do you even know what a vector is? The windshield wiper motion is just the product of a steep, compact swing path. Do you really believe there is something more to the windshield wiper motion?

You generally need to run forward for approach shots. I don't mean a shot on the baseline that you decide to approach the net after, I just meant short balls.

I have no idea why you and some others continue to press that. Not only can we not control 1/4 of an inch of CM movement, but P=MV does obviously address distance in our discussion. If you move 1/4...
