shot, drive . . . either way. And my 39.9 number is for a non-stop rally for an hour.

I hope no one ever takes you seriously.

Assuming that's correct and each strike is .004 sec., each drive would take 1.504 sec. My 1.5 sec. number is a pretty sloppy guesstimate. But you can see that for one hour (3600 sec.) divided by the time for a drive (1.504 sec), gives us 2394 or 39.9 drives/hr.

You divided further by 60 so that's 39.9 drives per minute.
Still a ridiculous figure, even if you divide by 2 for your opponent's return.
You can't even get that from a ball machine because you have to stop and reload.

This started out as a legitimate question, but has become a fish-slapping dance.

39.9 strokes/hr didn't seem right, so I tried it again and got 2394 strokes per hr. Again, a non-stop rally @1.504 sec./shot for one hour. I was counting the opponent's shots.

39.9 strokes per hour. That means you swing your racket once every 1.5 minutes, right? ....I think someone really sucks at tennnnnn-nist.

Monty Python Classic.
Sigh. I knew someone would have to ask.
I bet you don't know " Niagara Falls! Slowly, I turn... step by step..., either.
Poor, deprived child.
Ahh, I'm getting old.

How 'bout "Who's on First?"

My Dad turned me on to the Comedy Classics.
Danny Kaye, Red Skelton, Buster Keaton.
I found the Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges, Charlie Chaplin, and Monty Python's Flying Circus on my own.
My Mom turned me on to Frank Sinatra, Glen Miller, The Dorseys, Benny Goodman and Broadway Show Tunes.
My Grandmom turned me on to Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, and Rimsky-Korsakov.
My kids have educated me in ways I would never have dreamed possible.

Families. A Blessing.
Happy Thanksgiving to All Y'all's Families.

Sounds like you choose a very apt username, mate...

I removed the butt cap and installed a stop watch there to track time.

I know all those things except the fish-slapping dance. Don't know how I missed that one. Thought I'd seen all the Monty Pythons.
