Actually, Kiteboard has seen me hit numerous times 5 years ago, and I hit with him once then, maybe 8 minutes...but he doesn't remember. He hit a score of serves and volleyed a score of winners. I was stiff after having played for 3 hours, and sitting down for 45 minutes. It was foggy/cloudy, temps around 60.
Try Focus42. We played a two setter.
Do you guys really think my form is soooo bad if A level players, both men and women, asked me to serve to them in the late '70's?
Do you guys really believe I'm such a klutz if I went regularly 2/4 rounds in A/Open events around SanFrancisco?
OK, maybe yes.

I actually have a conspiracy theory that LeeD, Kiteboard, and ATP100 are all the same guy.

So all of them. Plus maybe the guys who are teachers like Papa, Orangepower, Bungalow Bill

Ha, ha. I just did a job with LeeD. He helped a lot. Got me the job in the first place. No I don't remember, but you don't have to be a great player to know a lot about great playing. I'd like to see a video of me and crispy fritters playing a match. Great players coaching are rare, due to the fact that great players are rare. Almost all coaches never even made it to 5.0 level. Lee says he did. I played many top 5.0 players and beat some of them in tourny matches, but I'd also lose to the number 40 guy in norcal, after beating the number 1 guy.

Good thread. I want to see Dozu swing the magic pill and Kiteboard's serve through the Sampras serve sequence. And of course, that wild and crazy little chinese man, LeeD doing anything.

I think everybody should post a vid and put the URL in the signature..... you know what, why don't we turn this thread into 'me hitting' thread, so we have a collection of 'who's who' and 'who hits how'.

It will be interesting.

LarrySummers vs me. Two juniors actually serve and volleying for a whole match would be awesome to watch

it would be an honor playing you. your kps baseball bat and my over power tweener doing battle on a fast indoor court. :) although, IIRC you are about a 5.0+ who plays on a traveling college team? do i start at 40-love :D

T1000 and jonnys&v would be cool since he is a far better serve and vollyer. but i want to see Lee and Kiteboard because im just curious on how they play. Lee a former high end amateur and kiteboard a top 50's player in norcal. plus i want to see his h22's. i would also like to see traveljam with his super leaded up frames.

Haha either would be awesome, I love playing another serve and volleyer since we all know whats coming, its just whos better at that game. I also would want to see Clint Thompson vs TonLars. I would want to play either of them too, just to see the difference in level since TonLars has beaten ranked ATP players and Clint is/was ranked

yeah it would be fun to hit with Tonlars to feel what a 6.0+ forehand is like.

Haha for sure, though I think you might be able to take me easily. I'm still down for a hit. If you're ever near the chicagoland area, let me know.

OP, I had to read and re-read your thread title. I thought you meant which posters we would like to see get hit!!

Daydreaming for a while there.... :twisted:

JohnnyS&V and I should have video'd our hit last month - it was a LOT of short points - I was serving big and couldn't return to save my life. The courts we were on were pretty rough, and the balls we were using were shot after 45 minutes.

I can tell you exactly what TonLars forehand is like, from personal experience!

It is:

1. Deep
2. Spinning like a gyroscope
3. Moved around the court with complete freedom and precision
5. Bounding (and I do mean 'bounding'!!) up and off the court upon bouncing
6. Feels like a hunk of lead on your frame
7. Unrelenting in its consistency.

Yep. That pretty much sums it up! :)

Happy Holidays,

i dont want to make this a jo11y thread.....but did that guy ever pay up?:twisted:

tfm never paid up. His hours at Jack in the Box got cut after they eliminated their breakfast menu.

J011y won a very coveted open tourney recently.

I don't think anyone congratulated him in public so I'll be the first.

He is. I saw him last week in San Pablo, ca. Looks like a tall, skinny yoda, with long hair and normal ears! Hey TonLars, let's play if you want to visit SF sometime.

dont be teasing me?

we drove to mrytle beach a few xmas ago. we might do florida this year.

I'm not. A bunch of us from here try to meet and hit on Fridays, so you would be welcome to come out i am sure. Bring your 6.0 friend too..haha.

Holidays is a little trickier to schedule hits of course due to vacation.
