Beer Is Bad For You, Even Once Every Two Months

One last thing, these "gurus", who show you algebraic charts have no clue, yea they seem impressive, but they can't factor in desire, intellect, the emotions of fear and joy, so they should be dismissed.

Tennis is simply transferring the mind into the body, doesn't matter if you hold your racquet Western or Eastern, these are basics, it's in the MIND, PERIOD.

I don't think this thread will get as much attention as your "sissies" one,
but we'll see how it shakes out. Best of luck, though.

Great avatar picture. I actually saw them on that concert tour in Birmingham AL on May 29, 1978. Front row seats baby! Best concert I ever saw and I saw the Stones, Who, Allman Brothers, and the Dead in the 70s.

Yep, Waiting for Columbus is one of the best live rock albums in history. You saw some good bands, but I'll take Little Feat over any of them. I'm envious that you saw them in 78, buddy! That had to be an awesome concert. It's too bad that a lot of people don't even know who they are. They were a hell of a lot more talented than most bands, and you couldn't ask for a better front man than Lowell George.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, Mick.

No problem man, I screw up, have to face the consequences, I deserve it.

Actually you may be a little over the top, but I have to think there is some truth to what you are saying.

sureshs · 01-04-2013, 09:07 PM

My best tennis is certainly not inside me. It is just not there.

Waaaaay over the top. Once every couple of months I drink beer, then I put up a crazy post and totally embarrass myself.

Glad to hear someone finally figured out tennis.

What was your recond in matchplaying using your own advice and what is your strategy when you play someone who is following your advice?

NLBwell · 01-04-2013, 09:56 PM

sureshs, your best tennis is your inner Oscar. You just need 5263 to bring it out of you.

That's pretty funny indeed.

Yet another 1-star thread. FYI, a "short lob barely over the net" is called a drop shot.....

So we both agree there is no best tennis there

NLBwell · 01-04-2013, 09:58 PM

The way to win every match is to play people who aren't nearly as good as you.

Why would you want to win every match unless you are close to #1 on the ATP computer?

tennis_balla · 01-05-2013, 06:36 AM

Modern game includes no mid-court or net play?
Wrong.

Mick you need to do some research into what top academies and coaches are teaching. The reason why most players have abandoned the net isn't because they don't know how to volley, or cannot handle mid-court balls. It is because its not a high percentage play anymore to come to the net constantly at a high level. A player is too vulnerable up there. Also, instead of coming to the net players finish a lot of points mid-court. Current players are better in the mid-court then 20-30 years ago. They are hitting harder, stronger shots, more angles, etc from there.

Coaches nowadays teach all aspects of the game, its ridiculous how complete a lot of training programs are. All areas of the court are covered, all tactical situations etc. At Sanchez-Casal for example they pay as much attention to net play as they do to mid-court and baseline play. The reason why players choose to play at the baseline is because that is the nature of the game now and their best shot at winning. It isn't the coaches forcing kids to play only from the back.

If there was any loop hole, anything missed it would be covered and used a long time ago. Top players look for any advantage they can get and coaches scout, analyze, and teach the best way they can for their students to win. Also, you cannot force a player who is comfortable and has the mentality to play at the baseline to all of a sudden expect them to become serve and volley'ers, it just doesn't work that way.

This is a excellent explanation of why S+V is no longer used much or very effective at the higher levels of tennis any longer.

Watch .50 seconds in and tell me playing mid court is not important. You teachers ruin the game by strangling creativity;

Yea, it seem like all of Federers "No way" shots are in mid court, glad no one taught him not to play there!
