Seeing you guys post is making me jealous as hell. I went to Spring Park to watch my cousin from Lubbock play. Made me miss playing as a team. Anyways, I'm a 4.0 tournament player (more like 4.5) from DFW looking for a team. Hit me up if you're interested in playing or just want to hit some.

electric devices and feedback are indeed illegal. However, a notebook is not. Personally, I thought this article on "Racquet Tattoos" was an interesting concept.

if you wanna go old-school, you should go the Aggasi rubber band dampener. Works like a champ!

I just want to go on record that I am super stoked about this. I've pledged. :)

I'll do it quietly and facing away from the opponent. Let's be honest, it's rude. Would you want someone to openly do that to you?

shoot me an email then! binarywasp@gmail.com

I'm in Dallas Texas. I'm looking online because I have a fully gym at my office for training. Between my demanding job and family my schedule is ever-changing. I want someone to assist me without necessarily being present to do so.

I'm a 4.5 player in my 30's looking to step up my game to the next level. I'm looking for someone to give me instruction on workouts, diets, stroke analysis, and basically kick my butt into gear hardcore. Does anyone know of such a thing? I know there are tons of personal trainers online...

A couple months ago, I went to an orthopedic doctor to see about the shoulder pain I've been experiencing. He told me he wasn't concerned about my rotator cuff, rather that it was shoulder impingement. Two shots of cortisone to each shoulder and I've been feeling great up until a couple days...

You're probably still not in town anymore, but if so, shoot me a PM.

It's not an illusion. With anything with rotation, it thins at the top and widens at the middle. Even the Earth isn't perfectly round. With enough spin the ball will flatten out. Also, due to less air pressure, the flatter balls will exhibit this moreso.

I've been playing hard-court my entire life. This afternoon I've been given the opportunity to play on some clay courts at a private club. Several of guys I'm playing with are deathly afraid that they're going to slip and slide all over the place and injure themselves. Are there any tips you...

I lost 3 nails on my feet after the last tournament. Between that and the blisters, I couldn't walk properly for almost a week after...

I've had this exact scenario play out for me. You can ask them, but don't be upset if they say no. What's the harm in asking right? When I asked the official to move along, they said sure and went about their business.

Great idea. I ran the numbers and I'm spending a LOT on tennis. I'm going to budget for some private lessons. Buying a package at one time to cut the costs down is a great idea. Also, the idea of buying lessons as gifts is an idea I'm going to put to use immediately. Thanks for the constructive...

I've seen lots of hindrances called, but they're almost entirely noise related. This is the first time I've seen someone try and distract like this.

I'm doing exactly that. Twice a week for the last few weeks I've been playing with a few of my co-workers. One's a 3.0 and the other a high 3.5-4.0 player. I'm thinking focusing on the ball machine and playing one of them only once a week will allow me to focus on my weaker shots (everything...

BOTH! Consistently the rec/league players overestimate themselves. It's no big deal really. You just need to accommodate for it. As for the tournament/USTA players, they're sandbagging. In non-major tournaments, it's about a .5 difference. However, when you get to the major-zone tournaments...

As long as he doesn't make any noise, is this legal? Tsonga distracting Federer on a smash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBn9bt2CgIE

Okay, sorry for the wall o' text. I don't care if you guys respond to this...it's just something I need to get off my chest. I'm a good tennis player. I play tennis in all sorts of various leagues and tournaments. I played 4.0 Ultimate Tennis last season and went undefeated. I also play 4.5...

Why not all of them? Also, need to know more about this poop...

GS - Just shot you an email. I'm down for that! :grin:

Truth… I guess that makes Lendl, Chang, Sharapova, and many others are bush league.

Thanks. I'll check it out!

Title says it all. I get my court time in enough, but want something to do during the day at work when I get my gym-time. I've done starting strength, 5/3/1, Gethin's DTP and a few others, but they're more for powerlifting/bodybuilding rather than for tennis. I am looking for a detailed...

I can't impart enough the importance of sleep, protein replacement, and foam rolling!

I've been in tournaments where I've seen Jr's kids making that same "ehhhhh" sound. Thank God I was just scouting at the time, otherwise it would have seriously distracted me. I doubt I'd do anything about it (all bark and no bite), but yeah…grunting does distract me. Not enough to do anything...

There's no dilemma here. You are obligated to play him. If you feel like defaulting against a player because this is a "silly ladder", then you have no business signing up in the first place. It's unfair to the person right below you that would love to be in your spot. Sorry bro, but you...

I'll be in Vegas for a conference, and I really want to take this opportunity to play as much tennis as possible in the evenings. I'll be staying at the Mandalay Bay, but I'm willing to play anywhere, I'm a high-4.0/ low-4.5. What's available out there on the strip? Just want to play! Hook a...

Where are you from Overdrive? I'm sure there's a player on this forum somewhere close that'd love to beat you...I mean play a few sets against you, to better document your skill level.:twisted:
