rkelly and I don't rally. i've said that on this forum numerous times for over a year. we feed the ball and go for it. We both hit w/ other people who like friendly rallies. I hit with another person who also doesn't like rally and wants to feed and then go for the point. Sometimes I hit w/ rkelly and he wins 90% of the points. it goes in cycles. last month he killed me for a whole month. Sometimes I have the upper hand over him for 2 weeks straight.
That's what we do we will continue to do the same thing.
I shouted out whenever I hit Smart Targets. I hope they show up in the video.
I'm with JackB1....
YOU initiate every aggressive shot.
RKelly only feeds back to you, nice moderate pace, nice easy spin, nice mid NML location mostly to your short forehand, which you like.
YOU hit one back to him, then pound his backhand corner.

Oh my god this going to be awesome. Cant wait..lol.
I agree about the rallying. I either rally, play sets or play drop feed points. My friend in the vid and I warm up for 15 then play sets and drop feed points (which we filmed and I posted).
If you post that the vids are rally vids, I am going to be looking for some nice consistency down the middle personally.
I would rather film myself playing points because I film for myself, and posting the vid is secondary. I want to see how I am hitting certain shots under duress.
If you guys wanted to watch me tee off on balls coming down the pipe, I'd look like a much better player and be high fiving myself. Would not help me a lick in match play though.
The best rally vids I have seen are Aimr75s and Tennis Ballas. Those are just killer.

Did you fix your camera yet? I want to see the improved powerplayer.
No its workable though. More about getting the guy I want to film against to play. We hit saturday but people kept coming over to jump in or talk and we never got to play sets, which is our main thing we like to do.
I just know the video will be really entertaining. We have had people come watch us play before, because his technique is so good, and I was told it actually looked like really good tennis. We have long rallies and both employ multiple strategies against each other.
So I want to see this as much as you do.
Did you watch Giorgi play Coretja today? Her movement is amazing.
Yes they were hitting the snot out of the ball too. I saw the last set.
Probably 20 mins...
See posts 22 and 24 of below thread. Leed is going at you there indirectly. He has really taken this to heart.

Do you have any video of you beating those top 30 wta players?
I thought you were good.
Cheetah I know he is hitting short and it is just a rally but why are you letting almost every ball bounce twice?
cheetah i really hope this is an extra friendly match,
'cause you barely move or try to be aggressive.
it's like you 2 cannot move your feet or something.
like when i eat a heavy meal and cannot move my legs.
I overdid the playing one day last week. hit 3 times in a day. haven't been the same since. Suresh is also usually more active than in that vid but he said he played a couple times already before he met me today. I also changed to a new grip style 2 weeks ago so I don't have the control I used to have yet. I'm just a mess. Suresh and I only have extra-friendly hits anyway. I'm just trying to give him as many swings as possible
oh, ok thanks.
i really look forward on seeing you do a real fight match.
i'll try to video one of mine.
we have one club that records the court onto 4 cameras
but it's a long waiting list.
4 cameras? That sounds pretty cool. Kind of like the courts at the bolletieri academy. Do you have access to the recordings if you want?
Can Sureshy bagel TLM?
A great way to start off the week with this thread. Hilarious.
I'm still sore and don't want to run. Bending down is pain since last week which is why I'm standing straight up most of the time in the vids. Joints, tendons and all that is fine.. my muscles are just sore and tired. I've been up till 3-4am too every night for the last 2 months studying for interviews and then waking up at 9. tirrrrredddd. Even my neighbor noticed. I live on the 2nd floor and I usually run up and down the stairs when i go out/come back. He said to me today 'hey why you walking all of a sudden?' haha.
I keep telling myself I'll take a day off but for some reason I don't. But I'm pretty busy this week so I won't be able to play tennis until Friday so this will be the first week of no sports and no gym in over a year easy.
I'll probably sneak in a few 1000 shadow swings though. My bh is bugging me now. Gotta fix that asap.
