Alright, This is probably a weird question, but i've been playing Doubles Tennis for the last3 years now for my highschool, but now, the 7 seniors on the HS team have graduated, which leaves me playing the no. 1 singles spot on my team. Which means i'm going from dubs to singles My problem...

Yeah well...i think that could be said with every difficult sport. Let's make the holes in golf bigger, fairways shorter, golf clubs cheaper, and then let's turn putting greens into giant funnels (so you can never miss) i think that would definitely make golf a more rewarding sport (for me)...

Alright, So 3/5 times i play tennis, i usually end up experiencing shoulder aches the next day. So i was wondering if anyone knew of any excercises which could strengthen my shoulder, and stop the aches from occuring. any suggestions? thanks,

just a random comment, but i think Youtube only counts it as a "view" if it's watch through entirely. SO chances are, people are watching about 3 mins of this, and adding their two cents :D

Hi, i have to do a presentation in class about famous people from spanish speaking countries. I decided to do my presentation on tennis players, anyways i was wondering if anyone could suggest a good tennis player from a spanish speaking country? The only player i could find was Marcelo Rios...

Hey, that's pretty cool. Keep working and you'll probably make varsity during the season. (I worked my way up to varsity last year) But like other have said, try to stay humble. Especially when you bump a good friend off their varsity spot :(

Well, i think it depends on any innate ability to play tennis, and overall athleticism. My friend's a 3 sport athlete, got sick of soccer in his freshmen year, and began playing tennis. He made the varsity team his sophmore year, and in Senior year he won the State 4A title. So i guess...

This web page has some really good tips on lead tape. http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/LC/Customizing/customize.html Good luck :D

awww..i'm jealous. my tennis season doesn't start for another 3 weeks.

Hi, I was wondering if there's anyway to add lead tape to my racquet that would raise the sweetspot but not altering the "feel" and balance of the racquet? If i balance out the lead tape on top with lead tape in the grip, wouldn't that just leave the sweetspot unchanged? thanks for the help

Uhh...left handed, continental grip. and the ball spins from left to right. yeah, it's strange, people seem to think that i'm really good(especially when i serve first) and then they slowly realize that i've got no skill :p but still, it's nice to hear people comment on my serves :D You're...

Hey, Alright, so i have a weird problem. According to all my opponents, my serves have "Crazy spin"(side spin) which makes it loopy in the air. But i have no clue what i'm doing to generate this spin, I can get decent pace on the ball, but i'd like to be able to hit a flat shot in order to...

Do what everyone else said :D Also, try talking to the coach, if you're an incoming freshmen, ask her to give you time to show your "true" potential ;) Also, if you've been on the team before, chances are the coach will give you the benefit of the doubt (unless you REALLY sucked last year)

amen python

off topic but, where are those courts? they look pretty sweet

Hey i was wondering if anyone's used orthodics in tennis? I played with them for a days and i started getting blisters. i'm not sure if i just need time to get used to them, or if they're actually negatively affecting me. If orthodics are bad, what are other ways or reducing knee pains while...

yeah. the babolat aeropro's should be 5 points head light. if it's 7 points head heavy like you said. i'd be cautious, but there does seem to be lead tape on the racquet, but i really doubt that there's enough there to make that much of a difference. (unless there's hidden inside the grommets)...

Lol omg, i remember that. best thing i've ever read.

i like "you cannot be serious" by john mcenroe... not really a tennis book, but a biography.... either way i liked it :D

"the orgasmic awesomes" "We rock your socks" "who's house? our house!" "The explosions of awesome" "Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, hey hey hey, good bye" "Mahnanana, doo doo doo doo" that's all i've got :D

lolz. i agree with that :D seems more like a novelty item than an actual racquet.

Mixed doubles anyone? :D

Well, i'm not sure how to fix your computer now, but it sounds like you have a virus/spyware. -I'd recommend googling your problem, or going to diagnostic websites that could help you (a tennis forum doesn't seem to be the best place to get computer help) - One thing you could try is...

i hate this game, you're score pretty much depends on how good your computer is, and how fast the blocks move. slow computer = slow blocks fast computer = fast blocks... which means the blocks on mine are going really fast....which is why i suck at thsi game

Hey there, This thread has probably been overdone, but i was wondering if anyone had a website or torrent site where they download tennis matches? Most of the threads with this topic usually just attract people trying to sell DVD's which they've compiled for profit, So i was wondering if...

hey i was wondering if anyone knew general skill level of teh different tennis divisions? i hear that D3 would be about 4.0-4.5 base skill to get onthe team but what about D2 and D1? Any ideas?

try telling everyone you meet (including your parents) that you played him and kicked his butt 6-0 6-0, no matter how much he denies it, just keep it up. telling everyong how much he sucks at tennis. when he DOES deny it say something like "whatever, you just do'nt wanna admit that i beat you...

I used to have the same problems when i first started playing, only my parents threw away all the Ibprofen in the house, so the only thing i could do was play less tennis (from about 14 hours a week, to about 8) :s. my grades DID go up though..but i think it was just a coincidence.

Maybe he's just...a really really Big and strong 14 year old....

hey cool vids. thanks for posting. i really like the quality, it's nice to be able to see everything, cool looking courts too. i'm so sick of watching grainy videos on youtube.com so this was nice. btw, great volleys.
