Is it raining there right now? I just drove past Waterford area and it was sunny/hot/humid out.

G, I was not implying that you were not better than him

My question was about your and your friend's playing style. FYI, I truly appreciate your calm, intelligent and balanced game (and personality

).

coyfish · 08-13-2010, 09:45 PM

Quick rant but this has to be the most ridiculous thing ever. My teacher decided to round down my 89.47 in a very subjective course. Maybe im out of line because most teachers round close grades up ... especially in high tier classes.

How could you do that to a student. 89.47 in my hard class . . . nope .03% is just too much.

Man, I am so sorry to hear that

That is a real enthusiasm killer. I remember when I was grading students at UCF I would ALWAYS try to find the way to go over grades' borderline. 0.03 is beyond bizarre...

Hey Bob,

Where can I get that special tape for the Babolat butt caps? Both of mine are starting to move ever so slightly.

I have to find another way to replenish electrolytes. Even a 50/50 mix of gatorade is starting to make me nauseated. Any suggestions from TWCFL?

Mikeler, are you referring to 3M 444 double coated tape? It is not easy to find it because they sell it in large bulk packages (like 10 x 36 yards or something like that). If you need it for one racquet I can give you some. I don't have much left...

I used to do a lot of triathlons and I always ate the gummy "candies." A lot of people used the gels but those tasted pretty disgusting. Next time you visit that new tennis store you should check out the triathlon store at the outlet mall. I have only been there once but most triathlon stores have a good variety of energy supplements.

Also maybe you are consuming too much gatorade. People often overestimate the amount you need. Most of it is just sugar to replenish energy stores which is probably why you get nauseated. A sip every 20 min or so is really all you need.

Power Player · 08-14-2010, 11:37 AM

Ok, Im going to go hit in an hour or so. This is what I have been doing..I drink water all day long before I play. I then bring a jug of water to the courts with some Norton Lite Salt thrown in it. Just enough to faintly taste when I drink but nothing that bothers me. It seems to help a lot in this humidity because I sweat so much.

I showed up thursday without doing this and got 2 calf cramps after 2 hours. The third full one came when I planted on a forehand and felt that full cramp feeling of the muscle clenching, and I immediately dropped my racquet and fell like I got shot. Yeah, that ended the day for me.

mikeler · 08-14-2010, 12:05 PM

Bob, don't worry about it. I think I"ll go with the Super Glue approach. Coyfish, thanks for the tips. Power Player, that is always where I get the cramps, in the calves.
