My son played when he was 5 to aprox. 9 yrs old and then started playing baseball. He wants to get back into tennis and I was looking for some recommendations for some good options for him. He is 12 descent size kid aprox. 5'2 115 pds. He has started back practicing about 4 times a week...

Yes, that's the reason there not playing pro, because they hit back out serves. Sure

Wow, I dont post much but ya'll are making way to much out of this. It takes no longer to clear the returned out ball than it does to clear the serve that is out that hits off the back of the fence. Ya'll must have never been to a college match, every out serve is hit back. No one ever...

Clemson: I think I have maybe 4 mens matches and 3 or 4 womens matches up there this year.

I was there both days officiating. I was just kidding with you cause I know you are always there.

Clemson Tennis: What did you think about the officiating on court 1 in doubles and court 4 for singles both Friday and Sunday. He did a great job don't you think.

A little help needed though. Is there a way to transfer the video from my iphone to a PC and still use the slow motion option along with the frame by frame. I don't have a ipad so it's hard to see. Thanks

Just purchased it on your recommendation for my 7yr old. Will check it out later and let you know what I think.

Good points everyone, I appreciate the positive responses. A blue hose is a scottish warrior, think the movie Braveheart, I am also a tennis official and work a good bit of their matches, so I'm trying to seem as unbiased as possible and hiring their players probably would project the wrong...

4 hours away. My son did hit all week at smith stearns while we were down there for my brothers wedding. He enjoyed it.

My apologies GA, I was looking at something else. That should have been addressed to whoever "decade" is. My apologies once again. Also my family iss from Clinton, SC.

Oh and I almost forgot to address ga tennis. My wife has a second, I work a extra job along with any overtime. We are very family oriented because what we lack in money we count on in family, so moving all across the country is not a option. Also where did I say I think or worry about my kid...

For the ones that posted positively I appreciate it. For the ones who didn't you always have the right to post but you have no idea about me or my family and what we already sacrifice just to provide what we can. I was only saying that money is a huge advantage in tennis and was looking for some...

Just wanted to get some feedback on why it seems like families with money dominate the tennis scene. A little background about my situation. I have a young son that just turned 7 and has been hitting regularly for about 2 yrs. He just starting playing 10's tournaments about 5 months ago. We...

Conner is going to a NAIA school for his first year, doesn't have the grades from what I heard. Should go to South Carolina after that.

If she wants to play in the Big South get in touch with Presbyterian College, I would think Coach Dunnagan would love to have her. She would be very welcomed and would be probably able to compete right away. Just a thought.

Chalk, trust me I'm very involved and hit with him on a regular basis but sometimes you need another helping hand to make sure he's getting the proper mechanics down.

So nobody has any thoughts or input in this area. There has to be some south Carolina people on this board.

I'm looking for good recommendations for a coach for my 6yr. old. I don't really know of any of the coach's reputations so I'm depending on ya'll for some help. I have heard of Mark Smith at pebble creek, anybody have any opinions on him. Thanks

My son who is 6 has a descent forehand for his age but he constantly cuts through the forehand instead of rolling it over. I have tried everything under the son to teach him to roll it over but nothing is working. I normally wouldn't care because he hits the ball hard and flat with the swing...

I am a fairly new collegiate umpire in the upstate area and after seeing the video I was just curious. I was hoping so but you never know with officials.

Just curious, did the official give a code violation when the south carolina player dumped the volley in the net and kicked his racquet over the net onto clemson's side. It was at about the 2 minute mark of the video.

thanks Woodrow

Clemson tennis: Just curious what are you tired of, the fact that the umpire overruled or the fact that the player was trying to win the game by calling a bullcrap out call. Just wondering

If a guy played 5 yrs. ago as a 4.0, and didn't play since then would he be able to self rate as a 3.5 at the start of this years league season. We played a person like this last night and I thought once you played at a certain level you couldn't self rate lower than that rating. I tried...

Yes, I know this is probably a stupid question, but the yonex supergrap when you put it on the racquet does the side with the plastic on it go on the outside where you hold it or does it go on the handle side. Thanks

Robby: I play 3.5 out of gata and we just got back from state. What do you think about all of these high school kids or 19 yr. olds playing 3.5 just cause they didn't play in college. We saw and played against some 3.5's that were very young and could easily compete at 4.5 and because of the...

Woodrow: I'm in the southern section, south carolina.

Woodrow, are you out there to help me out with this question?

thanks woodrow, I'm starting the usta official process and was just curious, it's not about the money but just curious if you could make a fair living if you did it full time.
