Thanks kev. And I'm on my way. :D I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks for the tip Kevhen. Those long and tedious rallies I should be able to prevail in. Here's some more spects on the both of us. Left ------ Tall (about 6'1) Groundstrokes can be good, but only when he's in a rhythm, Not too fast, but not too slow. Is punishing at the net His...

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...

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...

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...

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...

How Sublime got into the mix is beyond me. :P I always liked The Great Beyond (REM) and Thunderstruck are good.

^^Where can you buy these things? It sounds very useful.

^^Not to mention that you guys Have Schiltterbahn down there too. Too bad the price is about the same as a car. :(

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...

No Idea what it is, but I know Icy Hot helps. :)

Well, from this I have also gathered some information on how to help my forehand, as well as yours Montana. I have a small tip. If it's ever a rainy day or your indoors, try practicing your strokes in a mirror. This way, you can focuse on what you're making a mistake on, such as over doing...

^^Alright, thanks a bunch pain. :)

How much will clay (I'm going to play on green) will effect a brand new pair of shoes? (I'm getting some Barricade 2's.

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...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look for some Barricades to see if it's available near me. :)

Hello, I recently just wore out some shoes (have holes in the ends of both of them. :lol: ) and am looking for a durable pair that could at least last a year. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was looking at the Adidas Barricades. I was curious if I should get the Barricade 3's or 2's...

Tennis for Dummies. Patrick McEnroe wrote it and has step by step pictures on the serve, forehand, backhand, volleying, and numerous other things. It retails for around $20, but I got mine for $5 :D :D :D

Thanks for the help Bill. So basically on a twist or top spin serve, I should switch to a western backhand ( or western for the forehand) and toss it around one o'clock? (for more topspin than slice) also, should the toss be lower when applying topspin to the shot? Thanks for your help and I...

Yeah I don't think that a new racquet will change me for the better either, as I am rather accustomed to this one. The reason is that basically I don't have a backup and in the coming months, I could maybe find a good deal on one. As for the net game, do you not think the oversize affects my...

Hello, I have been a long time viewer to TW and just discovered this message board. I have seen that there are some bonafide people here with tips and thought I would post and see if I could get an answer. First off is my racquet. I am using a Triple Threat Scream OS at the moment, and was...
