You get him this time! Show him a fine taste of Seattle bagel.

After all these accomplishments, sorry to see you among big losers...

Feel lucky my friend, my racket is not within the swinging distance of your head.

Good point. But the question is how do you practice and internalize the technique you have learnt. Knowing and learning a good technique is one thing, putting that in practice so that it becomes involuntary/second nature is an independent issue.

1 Hand feed hitting from all four boxes to all four boxes on the other side. Swing as hard as you can (with split step for each shot).You will make several mistakes in terms of racket drop, racket angle/grip and finish - identify what caused you to miss and rectify. Make sure the hand feeds...

Never hurts the opponent? You mean the server...

I was talking about mr Robinson and edited my post before you replied...

What's really remarkable is the footwork, unit turn and wt transfer. You could see the athetes in them - feet spread apart while hitting, low center of gravity, bent knees to use the big quads and the glutes. These are refined shot making and see the quality of shot production. Placement and...

You have a valid point. Do you know all addicts know that whatever they are addicted to is bad but still do it. Discipline is not easy. I keep all junk food as away as possible from me to save myself from indulging.. a lot of people do that. If you can execute 100 pct per plan, consider yourself...

I didn't say he needed to delete his account. I guess it's easier to keep away from posting if you don't have an account that you can sign in quickly though you can read all posts without it.

If I can only slice like her - slice deep close to the baseline consistently. I can't keep more than 3 out of 10 in - but I'm tired of telling how bad I'm when it comes to slices.

The question is whether you can still stand him a little... :)

Double account is not permitted. You got to delete the existing account before signing up for one more.

I would believe it when winning using slice becomes more common than one off match. A few might have exceptional gifts for hitting really good quality slices.

I'm beginning to see some marginal improvement in my slice quality - one adjustment was to keep the wrist firm and fully laid back and elbow straight as I cut through the ball. Wonder that was one of the missing pieces in my long running slice puzzle... (it's still an emergency shot for me)

I agree, more points to be gained by split stepping with wide base after serve than jump off a few inches. Too much jumping will reduce pace and increase spin.

Proper and complete upper body serve motion is a lot more important(it's what determines 90% of the serve quality) than exploding off the ground. Would you rather get most of 90% or most out of 10%? Very easy to answer. If jump messes even 5-7% of the upper body motion, it should stay in the...

I'm saying questionable things about him, but I wouldn't start a tribute thread if I didn't care about him...but you knew it. I have read nice things about him from folks who have met and played tennis with him in real life.

I bet NYTA is reading the forum as an unsigned guest and I know how is feeling about this thread ... he has to prove it if he is not reading anymore.

You are a smart person to say the least. (case in point - you listened to nyta on choice of sunglass and possibly the hat, the sweatband and the color of the bandana but didn't read his words on playing part of tennis). You are probably right - nobody would notice if I left. And that's one more...

Lucky you, he didn't offer you advice on how to play tennis. You can live with cheap sunglasses - but not cheap playing style and strategy.

I see that you have grown immune to curse words and can't even recognize them anymore. You belong in my nyta list.

What's your point. I'm slow like a snail when emojis take over the sentences...

Hey, I'm not resorting to profanity and I'm enjoying a bit of humor without getting my blood pressure up. To seriously answer your question on credibility - there is going to be 50 percent of folks who will not agree with someone else's opinion. That does not stop folks from expressing what...

It's fun to put words in people's mouth and watch them explode and have them spew what's really in their mind , just like you did here.

Agreed, there was enough evidence to prove that point. (bold added for emphasis :) )

Good advice - learn to crawl before you can walk...

I would not go that far... But was a top grade clown act with or without trying.
