I would say replica jerseys range anywhere from $40 to $80. I got the Holland world cup jersey for about $35, but the Man U., Real Madrid, and Arsenal jerseys cost me around $60. And jerseys with players names on the back (like Beckham or Henry or whoever) will obviously cost about $10 or $15...

I completely agree. I'm only 16, and I got burned out playing 5 hours a day for six weeks at a tennis training center this summer. My game had improved alot over the first 4 weeks, but then started to plateau and then decline during the last two, so I decided to just take a week off, not even...

hahaha, this is like the 5th time this week I've heard someone say that i was rooting for France to pull it out in the World Cup, so superficially, I'm hoping that Materazzi's found to have said something racist. Who knows, maybe the match gets replayed or defaulted to France. But deep...

I think a football player and a tennis player, athletically, are COMPLETELY different. Different sports, different muscles. One of my friends started at weakside linebacker in the fall for varsity, and played 1 singles for varsity tennis at his school in spring. And one of the things he always...

I know exactly what you mean. I can somewhat deal with running by myself (the main part is to learn how to pace yourself), but what really bothers me is when I have to run on the track. It's so boring, because it takes away a part of running outside I love- the scenery. I believe, like many...

it's just confusing me, though. I've had a semiwestern grip for years, and over a course of a month, i subconsciously started hitting a more fullwestern forehand, similar to what shawn1112's talking about. now I'm trying to re-learn my SW forehand, and I'm having wrist soreness. I hit the ball...

My resting heart rate is 44 bpm. I happened to check it last night, randomly. I'm 16. When I was 12 or 13 though, my rhr was like 70ish (i was a "little" pudgy), and last year or two years ago it was like low 60s. I put in my hours on the track and in the gym, though, during the summers. it's...

OK, so I've been playing with a Semi-western forehand grip for as long as I can remember, and my forehand definitely became my weapon in no time. I used it effectively during the spring tennis season, going into the summer. Something happend to my forehand, though. Normally, when I warm up...

i wouldn't say he's the best player in the world cup, but Roberto Carlos has been doing a lot of good things so far. yea, he gets beaten defensively sometimes, and lucio or juan comes over for help.roberto carlos, though, slides back diagonally instead of angrily double teaming the guy who beat...

great book, the week of tennis i played after I first read it was the most pleasing and most relaxed I've every played. Gotta go out and buy it though... yea, i tend to have the same problems after a long layoff from tournament play, tensing up in a match, not playing my game. i might be...

oh, god, thats my favorite shot as well! the silky smooth 1HBH down the line. It's a tough shot, but when you connect, it demoralizes the opponent, cuz it's such a beautiful shot. I also love the crosscourt angle forehand you see alot of on clay, where you trade forehands with the guy...

wait for it... haha, just kidding. I've gotten used to other posters quickly jumping on the original poster for his "alleged NTRP". by the way, how does the 7.1 play? Some guys I know are switching over to the nCode 95 after having the 7.1 for a while. Do the two racquets play similar?

I had the same problem when the tennis season started in March. I'd do a good job setting the point up, then follow to net. My opponent would throw up a desperate lob, and I'd screw up the overhead 30% of the time. What I did on my own that helped was flat and spin serves from the service...

System of a Down, "Soldier Side" It's been a few months since that album came out, and I'm STILL into this song (dis)Honorable mention : the Crazy Frog stuff, I wanted to bash my friend's speakers in with a crowbar when he played that song

1. 'burbs of Washington DC/ seriously down the road (two minutes walking) from my house- BRAND NEW COURTS 2. Yes 3. Hard 4. Free, as long as you are part of that neighborhood 5.Amazing 6. I'm used to having a short 3 foot wall as part of the base of the fence surrounding the courts at my school...

just a joke, fellas... hope you all told ur moms you love 'em

hahah, no, just wanted to feel the thrill Double K felt in his thread:p (btw, i love smilies)

jk :cool:

I'm sick of the bull in this forum. sketchy ppl. Frodo cant figure out who she (or he) is, KK thinks he knows tennis, Phil is bitter, nViati isn't, Dedans thinks he's funny, Str33t thinks scoville jenkins is the only african-american in the ATP, Mahboob talks like a knight. BeachTennis, I tried...

its ridiculous to think this player is a 3.5! while his strokes may not be as smooth as alot of 4.0's, he's warming up, he's apparently putting some pace on his FHs and BHs, and his shots look fundamentally sound for the most part. His serve SEEMS to have some zip on it. my guess would be that...

Crash is a really really good movie, but I don't think it went far enough in the whole race and hatred issue. It kinda touched on it in a way to make it not controversial and STILL be thought-provoking. I enjoyed it because it's nice to see a bigtime movie observing things i've noticed for a...

wow, thats really cool that ur campus has 3 separate schools plus, after looking at what NTRP really is, plus talking to coaches, i found out that our conference is pretty damn good compared to most average ones. most of the #1 singles players r 4.5's (one of them's gonna play for Wake Forest...

how r the tennis programs at HS's in michigan? I know its home to the kalamazoo championships, so i'd think tennis is pretty decent there. there r 3.0's playing #1 singles? our conference has i think 6 schools, and.. 4.5, #5 or somthing in the region, has lost once in the past two years 4.5...

just put some talc or baby powder on ur hands before u play. That'll keep friction low between ur hand and the grip. also, think about using a dryer, not as sticky/tacky overgrip.

bump no one?

what a heartbreaking series for the wizards. to lose one game on a gamewinner in the closing seconds is tough, but to lose three...thats demoralizing. The wizards dont have great sustained defense and their interior D is DISGUSTING. if it wasnt the flip murray or lebron show every time down the...

This is driving me crazy. What's the song in the Dwayne Wade "Fall seven times, get up eight" commercial that airs during nba playoff games? I've been looking all over the internet to see what song it is, but i cant find it!

touche' :)

I love how smooth your serve is. My serve looks alot like yours, so I'm kinda comparing the two. Just be careful with that left foot during the toss- when it lifts up onto its heel. The foot might stray a little bit when it comes back down to the ground, leading to a foot fault. I didn't notice...

Or maybe that is EXACTLY when a person's true character shows I think I was in 6th or 7th grade when Paul Goldstein played tennis at a high school a few minutes away from my house. He's a good guy on and off the court, even back in his school days.
