The opponents are both near the baseline. A hard shot is going toward the baseline and just before the ball lands one of the players near the baseline yells "Out" just before the other player hits the ball. The opposing team does not go after the shot and the return shot is good. The team...

I remember an active thread on Swing Vision. Where is the Android version? I think it has been promised for over a year. We all know that computer chips a getting faster (Moore's Law). Does it make sense that Android phones or Microsoft would give up on making a product as good as Apple...

I just got a case of tennis balls from TW Order #13043083 When I opened the case one can was without pressure. I thought maybe it just lost pressure so I opened the can and tried the balls. They were dead. What should I do?

I have added the MRI impressions

Back of Hand Pain (Dominant Hand) I am a 75-year-old championship tennis player who has developed pain over the last 12 months on the backside of my dominant hand and I play only one-handed. The pain is dull when not playing tennis and no problem. When I start to play my hand feels OK. After...

I just wish that they would look further for a reason. I have only played for 65+ years without this problem. I didn't mention that there is a ganglion cyst just proximal to the pain marker, but they do not think that is the problem. Thanks for posting. I need all the help I can get. I...

I am a 73 yo championship tennis player who has developed pain over the last 3 months on the back side of my dominant hand and I play only one hand. The pain is dull when not playing tennis and is no problem. When I start to play my hand feels OK. After about 10 minutes of hitting, I am...

In watching the third and final set tie-breaker between Delpo and Federer last Sunday, I thought I was seeing something very unusual. Two double faults by Federer in the tie-breaker. Does anyone know when was the last time, before last Sunday, Federer served two double faults in a tie-break?

I have posted a video on YouTube showing the failure of an eyelet for shoelaces one one pair of New Balance tennis shoes and the separation of the uppers from the rubber sole of another pair of New Balance tennis shoes. I have been playing tennis for 67 years, starting a age 5, and never had...

I have something like this problem in the back of my hand only. I am sure it relates to the tendons that go across the back of my hand to my fingers. Does anyone know what causes this or what could be done to treat or diminish this pain. I have played for over 65 years and never had this...

It is rare in my experience that a forceful short doesn't leave a mark on a clay court. Since we all want the correct call, why not circle the mark and inspect it. I am willing to discuss any circled mark on a clay court, and consider it a learning experience. Now, if you are playing with...

Around the middle of February, I requested to demo an Asics 125 tennis racquet. I was told it would be available around March 6th, 2017. The customer service rep said it depends on the racquet being returned on time. Not hearing anything on March 6, I called and was told it would possibly be...

I am getting golfer's elbow and wrist pain with the Weed I am playing with. I love how I play with this racquet and the adjustment was surprisingly fast. I am working with reducing the string tension. I went with gut to get over this with a previous racquet. Any comments?

I was playing and watching tournament play (M70s) the last couple of days and saw a lot of good balls called out. I lost in three very close sets and was surprised how many deep shots I hit that were out. I didn't question any, but after the match, the fellow I beat in the previous round for...

I do not want any point I do not deserve. I think most players will be happier if the correct call is made. Consequently I will ask my opponent if they saw it in or out. This way I will feel better and my opponent will feel better. This takes at most 5 seconds. Isn't that better than have...

It gets more complicated. When I searched on Medline, I selected all the articles that addressed DMSO AND arthritis (166 articles) Then I narrowed the search to articles that had to do with humans, those with abstracts, those in English and those that were review articles (5 articles). The...

Background: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an organic solvent that, I believe, the Russians found had a medical use. I used it 30 years ago to treat tennis elbow. I found it relieved the pain of tennis elbow by applying the solvent to the area of pain. I have been playing tennis for over 60...

My New Balance tennis shoes, both right and left, are separating where the sole meets the upper. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/10905390@N08/ What do you think I should do? The sole is only half worn.

The Racquet Sport Industry magazine July, 2013 on page 7 noted an article "Group to Study USTA Membership Decline." It noted that membership has grown 2 to 3 % each year except for the 2012 where it fell 1.8%. The article was a little confusing since it said that participation increase for...

I have been playing for 60+ years and have been using hand singles for 50 years. I have not had a problem. I think your opponent has a problem for some reason.

I don't know court situation in Charleston SC, but I can talk about the court situation in Ann Arbor, MI; Coachella Valley, CA where I live half the year and Whittier, CA where I grew up and visit often. Let me talk about each one of these locations and address the court situation. Ann...

My comments are in red. Why do you say that? Are you saying is there are not enough tennis courts? Or are you saying that this will be more work for the clubs or USTA, but better for the players. The leagues are for the players not the clubs or USTA. Clubs and USTA should serve the...

My comments are in blue and at the end. If you look at the graph of the number of players playing USTA leagues you will see that there are many 50+ That is why the SS and SS have worked for players, maybe not the USTA. Players would be happier playing people of their own physical ability...

Why not just add a 40 and over group and leave everything else the same? Could you tells us who gave you the survey and a little about the survey. I didn't get a survey. It would be interesting to see the breakdown in answers by age group.

Why don't they share it? What is the secret? It would help answer questions and maybe get to the real answer. I will be surprised if this information is shared with the league players.

I think the entry age was always 18 If the average age is 40+ it indicates to me we could have a 40 to 49 age group and leave everything the same. There would be lots of players for that age group and we would not have to fix something that is not broken like the Senior and Super Senior...

Not clear to me what is meant by these cohorts are better aligned with league playing populations. I am assuming that this means there are lot of 40 to 50 year old players. If this is the case, set up a 40 to 49 league. In that way we will not fit something that is not broken. I am...

Not clear to me why more people would play. Does that mean there would be more teams? If so, why?
