In case anyone else was stringing up their functional saber with scraps/leftovers… Was able hand string it with a spare 15ft of string. Probably could have even used 14ft… but would really have stingy on the ends, maybe even use pliers to tighten/hold/etc,… 1 piece

What makes getting hit at the end of whip (or wet tipped towel!) hurt so much…

I used to not sit during changeovers (unless hot)… but nowadays I force myself to sit for at least 60 sec to take a sip (whereas before I’d drink only when thirsty, which is too late), and to think reflect on the last 2 games and think about what I’m doing well to him and what he’s doing well...

Hehe I do that all the time when playing stallers …. Didn’t know it was against the rules… on the flip side, stallers IMO are breaking the rules, so it’s a wash :p

My 1hbh (sw grip) is a good 8in in front of my 2hbh contact (left hand is extreme eastern) Check out this link for variations on 2hbh @JohnYandell https://www.tennisplayer.net/public/avancedtennis/two_handed_backhand/2hd_bh_simplest_complex/2hd_bh_simplest_complex.html … Whatever 2hbh you...

for me, similar to the fh... the key is allowing the racquet overtake the hand

to me, chest up is a cue, and def helps but other elements more important (eg. like shoulder tilt)... if i asked you throw a football straight up in the air as high as possible from standing... you will naturally tilt, bend knees, open chest, etc..

yeah i get it... happens all the time in mx... if you stay back, you might as well sit down.... but at least it will challnege you (ie i like to taunt my opponents innto blasting me at net)... at least i'm in the action... not like we're going to win if i stay back...

got to net, and work on poaching... if you're doing it right you're gonna get a workout.

yeah, that's about what i look like, then get frustrated, then go do somethign else :P

if you can do 50 at her pace, you're better than me... i've tried that drill many times, never got close... she's doing 100 in <50s

i've never been a fan of practicing volleying against a ball machine (and the setting you have is exceptionally easy... like i only get that type of shot once or twice a match), mainly because it's impossible to get the split step timing right... i usually only practice with a partner... but...

nice. is that with a Mjölnir? i do love volleying with heavy racquets (rf97)

was amused to see a club still using a neos1000 (setup in the middle of their floor), but a large electric stringer (white or silver colored... very fancy looking) was tucked away in the corner - collecting dust)... asked the pros why they don't use the fancy looking one, "the neos is way...

i don't normally hit a 1hhbh.. . but when i'm goofing around, channeling my innner wawarinka... i keep my elbow straight when i exec the external shoulder rotation (eg. windshield wipe) through contact... if i bent my elbow on the follow through, like you appear to do in your shadow swing, when...

yes, but can still maintain! 10y ago in my mid40's i ran 1M race... in 5:25.. which i thought was great for me... but i got my butt kicked by a 55y that ran in sub 5:00!

fade, hit inside of the ball... tends to curve, left to right, usually end up hitting his when getting a shoulder/head high ball, that i aim to the ad court (eg. inside out fh) draw, hit outside of the ball.. curves right to left a bit... useful when hitting on the run down the line (fh)...

famous ones i visited: sanchez, brugera (far - but pretty drive on a scooter! [edit] appears to be closed now), a few more near my hotel playing here was the highlight of my trip (as far as tennis destinations): https://www.rctb1899.es/ met a member (~low4.0?), i basically gave a couple...

didn't malaga just get flooded? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=malaga+flood+2024

do you use a gravity step? [edit] IMO, my drop in speed is linked to my inability to stay low for long periods of time... (eg. https://www.amazon.com/OnCourt-OffCourt-Flex-Trainer-Resistance/dp/B001NW81LO)

can't recall specifics.. but regarding who, probably tips from @Serve Doc (led me to devouring all his vids) @J011yroger (have taken a lesson IRL) @JohnYandell (joined his website for a while) there were a bunch of folks on here like ?20y ago that I thought were really good too (don't recall...

free lesson! let me fast forward for you... and save you time filing anything.. hypothetically if the obvious sandbagger is DQ'd, if you make it to sectionals, you will run into even more sandbaggers and if you make it to nationals, you will run into the best sandbaggers in the country but...

100k invested in sp500 at ~8% will get me enough to buy that watch in 30y... i'll just have to work on the guns until then so i can showcase the watch on nadal-like arms every time i hit my fh...

side note, if you go to barcelona, i visited quite a few places, and took "local roads" via scooter... takes longer, but fun daredevil way to see the city

lol

never been to an all inclusive tennis resort, but i have been to barcelona... tennis is ubiquitous... i scheduled hitting lessons in the am for a couple hours, then did the touristy thing the rest of the days, then took breaks when was too tired, went drinking, slept late, etc... that said...

since this is a ttw... can't leave out https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-richard-mille-rm-27-05-flying-tourbillon-rafael-nadal#:~:text=The%20RM%2027%2D05%20obviously,a%20price%20tag%20of%20%241%2C150%2C000. unless you're a fed fan, in which case i see what rolex is your thing :p

wow, thx you for your svc... (though i'm a few days late). 200 jumps impressive... lol, maybe i worry, i'm just not that interesting... always wanted a double tourbillon... but ultra2 infinitely more practical :P

if syn gut is the mains... i'd break a fresh job in about an hour or less of coop practice...
