That is why it is a rule of thumb not one of th 10 commandments.

Exactly then everyone cries when they do haha.

That is a good chart. The rule of thumb is that it takes 10,000 hours to become "professional" at any sport. Not sure who first said that.

Well he isn't THAT good. His serve looks forced and not fluid. To much twist like he is trying to hit to hard. When he gets bigger and stronger I think he will have more luck with tennis. Until then just keep trying to encourage him.

Yeah, you should be extremely streaky with the type of stokes you have. The room for error you have is so low with how hard you hit. Do you try to set up the point before even trying to hit hard in any shape or form, or do you just blast at it until the other player misses. Also back to my last...

It's not that we are jack asses, it's what we know many 11-12 years who would whip the pants off of him. Yes he has potential to be a good college player, not to be a pro.

He's talking in his section. If he was that high nationally, he would be playing Challenger and trying to go pro. But I could be wrong, Some people make livings off playing Opens.

The radar is off to the side like if you are serving, you are almost looking at it, it is probably 2 feet inside the service line.

Yep, and like I said, it is hard to see as the quality sucks ass. So I apologize. And I can tell you as a Challenger player that your strokes are not completely sound and will get you in to trouble in huge pressure situations. When you are pressured, the tiny ticks that aren't smooth in your...

HOLY S*** ARE YOU F****** INSANE????? What national tournaments have you played in? Obviously bad ones.

That he can beat Federer That is what is strange.

Yeah, it's brad. Every one thinks he's a loser. We just ignore him haha. Notice how the announcers were laughing at him after he left?

If he is 14 unfortunately no. I think he could still play at a good D2 college though.

I've lost to a pusher before, only once though, I almost walked off the court, I was beyond pissed. I lost that match when I was about a 5.0. It was in a 14s endorsement. And I was playing up an age group I think. (Just from memory)

To speak truth, I don't think you stroke here looks the best (But way better then most on these boards) But for sure it gets the job done so changing anything isn't a good idea, But your strokes are so flat (looking...youtube sucks quality) maybe talk to your coach about getting more spin on the...

When I play at the Orange bowl and such, the radar is off to the side and takes it right off contact. That is all I know.

Hey sorry about not getting back to you, it looks like DD beat me to it, if you still want a quick summary just say so. But it looks like you might have already bought the string! Best of luck with it!

uhh I am 99% sure, the juniors on these boards don't get more then the older members, which leads me to believe girls would still own this poll. But it seems almost even! lol

Lmao @ breakpt Har har HAHA!

One bad ass slice serve is what it is.

I drink fast twitch during matches if it means anything. I know some pros drink it also.

I do frames from contact to cross over the net, and that is 39 feet. But on a radar, it is taken right off of contact.

Mental, and placement. Any 3.0 and hit hard and get .001% of their shots in.

Focus on loading, moving your feet A LOT, and ex-hailing. Don't be tentative, think about all the times in practice you have hit the shots you are hitting now, it cools your mind.

I'm doing a frame check on it now, but I bet there is no way it is going slower then 90. If it is I will eat my toe. lol no I'm jk, but there's just no way. Edit: the site is down, I will have to eat my toe later. haha

Can we sticky this post? It was pure win.

Very nice, shake out the nerves in the first set in warm ups. Blow balls to the back fence if you have to, that is what I do. Then come out strong the 1st set when they still have nerves and blow them out of the water.

Nice job. Close tie breaker, were you nervous?

heh, that was amusing.

Is this even a question. Chicks DUH ;)
