So this season was the first time I have heard about this league. Have been playing usta leagues on and off since 2010 and bumped up from a 3.5. Is this something other sections regularly compete for? Considering the proximity I am wondering why we don't get a crack at this every year. From a...

I've encountered quite a few people who did not know what USTA or "league" matches were. They were simply influenced at the park by some shark who wanted them on the team and were arbitrarily told to register at "X level."

Hey @FedererExpress. I'd be down to hit that weekend. Barring Saturday I've no plans those dates. PM for contact!

Love me some Clayton.

I totally take that back. It sounds like Atlanta has a much busier tennis scene... I was assuming based on industry and population that they could be similar. But the difference is pretty stark. I am floored at how popular tennis is in Atlanta. According to TLS, we have roughly 2000 players...

Hey there. Relative to Atlanta, I'd imagine it will be pretty similar. The USTA league is the predominant "league" out here, we have a few smaller spots that try to put something regular together but don't last very long. Practically every country club houses multiple USTA teams here. I captain...

Thanks! My fundamentals are mostly from instinct, so I think potentially regardless of level everyone can provide some decent insight into ideas for improvement. What I hate is when I'm left with an observation... with no constructive feedback as to how *specifically* I can work to change it...

Thanks for the feedback! Hoping to understand you better: What did you mean by sinking into contact? Am I falling as the ball is falling- or is it something with the toss? What do you look at when you refer to "launch"? Thanks for the feedback kite! I am not familiar with any technical terms...

Thanks JM... it's called concrete actually. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I will try to get better footage next time. I was idly waiting for a friend to arrive before our evening session... not the best conditions. Not sure if you're familiar with the Vegas area... Siegfried and Roy Park. Despite their accolades the tennis courts themselves are no bueno...

Ah! My vernacular for specific tennis terminology was definitely lacking! OP should skip to 8:50 for all intents and purposes to see what kind of motion we are trying to attain here. By no means do I claim to know what I'm talking about... just sharing some perspective! I really wish videos like...

Hoping to improve all areas of my game to get to the next level. I'm almost entirely self-taught and would like to pick your guys' brains to get some specific feedback on what I should be working on. I forgot to record a few second serves... nor did I hit from the ad side. The goal was to hit...

Great video!! You are starting from a great place. If your swing mechanics were the same and you changed your grip; perhaps it would get you a faster of a serve. What I find often happens when you do something drastic like change from a continental to a eastern grip your brain subconsciously...

Thanks for the insight! Not trying to steal OP's thunder, thinking we are both looking for the same specifics in mind. I enjoy the idea of being babysat via a video to guide me through proper technique and motion etc. before customizing or tailoring it to work for me like you've done! Sent...
