    Playing a lefty tomorrow. Tips needed.

    Playing a lefty tomorrow. Tips needed.

    Thanks for the tips Aoya. I forgot to mention that his strength is volleying. He's primarily a doubles player, so his strength is volleying. He has a very good slam (either way, darn lefties) so I am hoping that no wind is present, so I can lob over him. Any advice on serving and or...

    Playing a lefty tomorrow. Tips needed.

    Well, I got an important match tomorrow and it's against a lefty. Here's my scouting report: He's got a decent serve (not overpowering, but fairly consistent) and he's definately a player that has to find his rhythm to play well. I'm thinking I need to get inside his head. Mix in the...

    Playing With a Wood Racquet. Good idea?

    Thanks for the input fellas. I figured I am going to go into rankings warming up with the woodie, and if I have that much confidence at the time, use it for in a match. My high school is not known for tennis and I know that I could still do well with the woodie. Thanks for the input...

    Playing With a Wood Racquet. Good idea?

    High school rankings are upon me and I've been practicing just about every day. I went to get a private lesson from a fella I know and asked him about his wood racquets on the wall a couple times. I asked if I could see it and he said to play with it some. Well, he said I played better with...

    Need Help on Groundstroke depth.

    I've mostly been a lurker around here, reading others advice and using it myself, but I have really noticed that I'm not getting the depth that I am wanting. Before, it seemed I was able to get more depth, but after some overgrips over a 4 and one half (it was hurting my elbow) it seems that...

    Need shoe suggestions!

    Well, just ordered some Barricades 2's. I tried them on at a local tennis shop and thought the Barricade 2's were a little more comfortable, liked how they weighed less, and felt slightly more comfortable. The only question I have is if you get used to the thick sole on it? That was one...
