I'm curious as well about the Torre tourna ball. Its very special apparently. Need film. Even a short clip from an iPhone would work.

For you i would post video and send you a link. You are a genuinely nice guy. Guys like zappy have malicious intent even though i saw his film and i will keep my thoughts to myself..

That'd be actually really awesome! Once I get mine up and running I'll definitely send it your way.
I watch pretty much every video that gets posted in Tips/Instruction, but often don't comment. I see no need to unless I can offer valid input. (That's the coach coming out in me haha!)

I watch em all for like 15 seconds and hazard a guess as to whether or not I could beat them, then x out the window.

LOL! I try not to think like that. I've been served some humble pie recently by players who don't look that good, but play literally a full level above me! (I watched a 5.0 player that still served with a pancake grip, feed bread-sticks to a top end 4.5 player in my club. It was terrifying to watch someone with such "novice" technique literally blow guys off court!)

I'm just north on the I-15, near Riverside. I go down that way from time to time. I'll let you know when I'm heading down to get a hit in.

LeeD doesn't look anywhere near as old or slow as I pictured, based on his own descriptions.

OK here is mine nowhere near modern hitting.
Nice hitting, you kind of play like Granville

ye, and those serves are carrying to the fence very easily (well, the ones that went in, lol)
I think he is exactly what he says he is, I really do..
Thanks, there's still a lot to work on. I'm slowly changing my swing pattern on my forehand. I try to make it shorter, more compact but playing for nearly 30 years, took its toll and and those ingrained moves are not easy to erase out of my hard drive.

Nice racquet speed, but leaving a lot of easy power on the table by opening up too soon on groundies...thanks for sharing vid...

He's an older guy with a bum wheel...maybe a break is in order...

No problem. I was surprised because myself, I would practice serve only when I don't have anyone to hit with but you guys are not me
Oh, we each hit 4 serves before the vid. We were spraying groundies all over the map our first 10 minutes of rallying, as waiting 3 hours for a court would force you to do.
Not only 3 hours of waiting, but this was the 3rd court we waited on.
And remember, vid was shot in April, just after a rainy 3 weeks, and neither of us had been playing over the winter.
I have less excuse, normal tennis schedule for me is once every two weeks.

You would destroy zapvor. I believe in you. I think you should teach at the Evert Academy. They need classically trained GOATs to shape the careers of future 5.5 ballers.

Now I knew talk more it doesn't mean play better.
Sometimes, you gotta think, which you don't do.
If I played better, I'd have no time for this forum.
I play about once a week, during the season. From Jan thru Sept., closer to once a month.
That leaves lots of time for talking.
Now say I'm at TonLar's level. He needs to practice 3 days a week on order to stay the same. Once more day of practice might lead to improvement over time. Then he plays matches. He has no time to chat on the forum.

nice serving LeeD. You definitely look very good for your age. did not expect that hair.
. did not expect that hair.Yeah, I'd love to write a critique on that old geezer's serve.
No leg spring. Duh, can't even run, or push off with that left ankle.
Slow swing. No excuse, but those were still warmups.
Kinda open stance. Where was I lining up to hit?
Most missed by a mile. Well, that has something do to with 5-11th serves total.
Long hair. Too cheep to get a haircut, sorry.
Alex and I waited from 5:45 to past 9 to finally get on a court. It was the first set of non rainy days in a rainy April. It was the 3rd court we waited on, driving to 4 total.
Those are the serves of a "4.0" level player. Both Alex and I.

For sure, I definitely didn't expect that at all haha!
LeeD actually has solid serves IMO. Much better than I expected.

Much worse than I expected.
In 1977, PeanutLouie's Mom asked me to hit serves to her kids. The following year, both RichWilliams and GregShepard, both A men's players, asked me to serve to them for practice.
I look now and see an old geezer gimping around without wheels or swing speed.
