    When to pull the plug

    I don't know how many times I get caught up in now, even when my son did an underhanded serve match point down. Wanted to pull the plug then but watch his second match and he played like I know he can.

    Withdraws in Designateds

    Probaby has to do with drive. Florida is a long state and takes a while to get up north. I had to drive my son 6 hours but enjoyed the time spent with him.

    Awful behavior on the courts

    Nicely said. My son played a cheater at a tourney at IMG and the offical came up to him and gave him tons of praise for keeping his cool and winning the match. Just amazing what some people will do to win a 10 and under match.

    Tennis Elbow Surgery

    This post has nailed it down what you should do. Only can add a couple of things. 1. I would do some type heat therapy just prior to play before you strech. Helped lossen things up. 2. Also wear sometype of arm band even after you play until you can apply ice. 3. On...

    Quickstart rocks...or does it

    I like this idea. Makes alot of sense. I am surprised the USTA did not think of it? Could have made them more money!!!!!!

    Is Djokovic the favorite for the French Open?

    I really think he will win all 4 GS this year. I feel bad for Federer and Nadal becuase once this happens Jokers team will start saying he is the greatest of all time if not already!!!!

    Juniors arm

    Son just started complaining about elbow hurting. Can TE be a delayed reaction? Was having him Demo some new sticks about a month ago and they were strung with full Poly. Right now he is using Head Elite Lite strung at 57 with Biphase 16g for about 2 weeks. I usually strung his with PSGD but...

    Tennis Channel pulled programming from Cablevision!!!

    I switched in July and like it better than Comcast. I like the 6 channel option that they have for the US Open. Only draw back is I live in Florida and when we have a storm it sometimes drops the signal. Like the price too. I was paying way to much for Comcast.

    tennis parents I need help

    Nadal's 10 Slams at 25...

    I think Nadal will surpass Federer in slams but if Djorkers wins tomorrow his camp will be saying he is the GOAT. I am very surprised they have not already said it.

    USTA Florida "New Modified 11 & under division"

    What's next is they should just cut to the chase and make the US Open play a QS format. Starting my 6 year old son playing tennis and will be sending him to a coach that does not do QS. Here in SWFL mainly the public court programs do QS. I do find low compression balls good for him but he...

    Prediction for the final tomorrow

    I am a big Fed fan but I think Nadal is just to good of a clay court player. Hope I am wrong.

    String Set Up for Green Ball

    My opinion would be stay away from poly's for someone that young. My son is 11 and he uses PSGD. I purchased a stringer so all I have to pay for is the string.

    TRX Training System Safe for Kids

    I purchased a new in the box from a garage sale and found a place up in Sarasota that gives classses specifically for tennis using the TRX. Also want to go back there because they also have a summer program which I think might be perfect for a tennis camp for my son. He wants to go to Gator...
