Orthopedist says I will need fusion surgery and be off my feet for four months. I am 70 years old. After 15 minutes on the court, my foot hurts unbelievably. I wear a shoe with a big toe box. Any suggestions short of surgery?

I'm a 69-year old, 4.5 righty. For the past two weeks years, I have practiced serving left-handed to be ready in case I need rotator cuff surgery on the right shoulder. Gotta cover all the bases. Right?

Little finger is never on the grip. I f you can drop ring finger off during service motion, so much the better.

i use Wilson Steam 99 for doubles & Wilson Steam 105 for singles. The former is one-half inch shorter & with a smaller head size & thus easier to volley with.

Do what the Aussies used to do. Get some cabbage leaves, wet them down, & stick them inside your floppy white hat.

Used to watch him in Salisbury, Maryland at the U.S. Men's National Indoors. Very elegant, smooth as satin. Great player to watch

February 1970 in Salisbury, Maryland at U.S. Men's Indoors Championship. Down two sets to love to Cliff Richey in the finals, Nastase won the next three sets & the championship.

Top hand eastern; bottom hand continental.

Wilson Steam 99s is my hard-court singles & my doubles racket; 105s is my singles racket on clay. Love them both.

LH is continental grip RH is eastern grip Surround ball Take racket back with arms straight Drop racket head Step accross with left foot Bend knees Keep head down Wait for ball to reach right hip Accelerate racket head Brush up from bottom of ball to top Finish wth low to high...

@DaveInBradenton...Dave, you are more than a tennis player. You are an absolute genius, because you are retired, living in Florida, & never having to worry about disputed line calls.

What you do defines what kind of tennis player you are. Me? I play in USTA-sanctioned tournaments. What do you do?

Continental all the way.

Mine's easy. Just google it. What about yours?
