LeeD, you're spot-on about Mac's volley skills. Nobody can volley like that. He was a gem at the net.

Edberg was a special volleyer, but his racquet head was like 20 sq.in larger LOL!

Make sure you bend those knees..this is so imperative to striking a 1hbh. The rear leg needs to bend more than the lead leg, this will ensure a vertical, proper posture when making contact.

Tourna Grip question

Has anybody ever left the plastic on the grip on when putting on the overgrip? I'm thinking it would add like another 1/16 or maybe 1/8 inch to the size. Maybe some added comfort? Just wondering.
