    It's not the first time to hear some *** **** from the commentators. It's been long since I ignored those.

    Is there a special meaning in Hewitt's fist/ or hand pump?

    I have a question to ask, I love those Hewitt's celebration (of points), instead of a fist pump, he has kind of solutes by pointing fingers to his eye and forehead, is there a meaning in this?

    Is my racket cracked?

    Here's the diagnosis- when I hold my racket, face up, with a normal grip position, and have my wrist firm and shake(?, like when you check the tension by boucing it with your left hand), it makes a ticking sound. And the sound is getting bigger. I checked the butt cap under the grip, it is...

    Please guess my NTRP rating; video inside :)

    J.R.B., I think you are a .5 + 4.0 player. Much better than OP's game for sure. And, look I am aware of the video thing that you are keep talking about. I've been playing tennis for 13 years now, and beleive me I tapped my games a lot. With the video being slow, still what I see is that OP's and...

    Please guess my NTRP rating; video inside :)

    I guess I brought some unhappy people here with my earlier post. Well, I do not have any intend to insult or disrespect OP's game. And, I am sorry if OP, you felt that way. But, as I said, he, in my view, is a strong 3,0 player leading to 3.5 level, which I think, most of you called me "a...

    Help me on my serve please (vid included)

    Yep, I agree with others posting. Higher the ball toss a little that will allow you to have a trophy pose set before your swing. Your serve motion is very similar with mine in fact. And what I try to do is kind of pause for like half a second with the throphy position and then swing. But I had...

    Please guess my NTRP rating; video inside :)

    I cannot beleive the people who rate this guy as a 4.0 player. OP no disrespect but you are a 3.0 player. Period. Here are some reasons why I think you are a 3.0 player. 1. In your entire video clip, forehand and backhand ground strokes are mostly (except one that I see) are landing way...

    BH Volley is Killing Me...Literally Killing Me

    I think basic volley techniques are ... (for amatuars, especially) 1. firm wrist 2. knee bend 3. watch the ball 1) The reason of mishit with the volley, for a club level player, like myself, comes from not holding the wrist firm. We try to be fancy like the pros we see on the TV, trying...

    Bending at waist instead of knees

    When you practice hit your backhand, hold a ball basket -you know the ones that has reversable handles for stand. Fill the basket full and don't close the lid. Hold it with your none hitting hand. By doing this: 1) it will prevent unnecessary shoulder retation becasue of the weight of the ball...

    Overheads.....=(

    Everything posted here are great. But if you just want to succesfully slam your overhead without all the things that you have to do - Hit the ball when its in FRONT of you! That's the only thing, the balls that goes long is becuase you hit the ball when it is positioned behind you body. If you...

    Working on Pace (Video)

    Just watched the rest of the clip - your backhand. Two things that I see is 1) you need more knee bend - especially in twohanded backhand knee bend is the key. More knee bend, the more stable stroke. 2) relax on your swing, this relates to my first reply. Your knee is actully bent pretty good...

    Working on Pace (Video)

    I think you have a pretty good form, from preparation to follow-through. The only problem that I see is that you are trying to muscle the ball. I understand that you were trying to practice "pace" but a good solid strong groundies come from a very loose swing form. I bet many of the balls that...

    Need Advise on whether to change racket

    Agree. Having a bigger head size with less head light would much help you to hit big shots from the baseline.

    Some idea for more spin w/ m-fil 200 plus

    Pretty sure that there are numbers of thread about this. I admit, I'm lazy to do the search. SO plz give me some idea for spin friendly strings for m-fil 200 plus. I've been using cheap synguts for many years, so I don't have any knowledge about spin strings. Thanks in advance.

    wtf @ Clijsters

    i'm pretty sure they take care of those issues with periods. and there are even pills that control (hold) it. i don't think that's the issue of kim's poor performance.

    Just got DESTROYED by a pusher.

    I agree with the term "teacher"! I always tell people that if you lose to a pusher you're not at the level you think you are at. In the past, I purposely played with pusher styled players, and I don't think I wold be at my current level without them.
