You make it sound like you are doing eastern grip pitty pat serves. I didn't notice much of that at all.

Would you rather be like me and be all serve without much else? HAHAHA, LOL!!

I wanna see Jimmy Connors' buddy, GRANITECHIEF, hit. Someday I'll drive down to Santa Barbara, or maybe meet him in Palm Springs. How 'bout it, Chief?

Sounds like a plan, i'm always game. I end up in the bay area from time to time as well.

I would settle for a spinny 80 mph serve that I can place just to start the point off in neutral fashion. I would settle for a serve that's just neutral. Not a weapon, not a liability, just neutral.

You've got more than a serve, man! Plus, you attack well.

Yeah, when you try not to let the ball bounce it's a lot easier to avoid making adjustments on slick courts. Hope you're hitting well, when are we going to see your video?

My round 2 w/granitechief was in howling, hurricane-like winds. Certainly made
footwork a challenge.
