    Most annoying opponent habit?

    I also dislike when you hit a winner an your opponent looks of towards the sky and starts yelling. As if he's plaeding with god to quit letting me be so god dame lucky. Or when I call an out ball, and they look at me like I'm full of ****. Maybe it's just cause I don't care enough to cheat...

    Problem with my thigh

    Thanks, I get a lot of protien in my diet. Before hand I was also running for an hour (5-6) miles almost every day. Was pain I've never felt before, like my leg got twisted around or something.

    Problem with my thigh

    Was playing soccer when I kicked the ball and my leg started to spasm. Was like a very bad cramp. Problem is a week later I could still feel the strain. Can cramps last this long? BTW I've iced/heated it everyday. Actualy feels somewhat better (been a week and a half), but don't know if I should...

    Stringing sites?

    I've checked out spt, and a few video's off this site from google feeds. Anyone know of any video's or sites that may help? I've also checked out the search tool, and seems some of the old post were taken down or something.

    Sports Authority?

    I use to work at a sport mart aka SA through high school. Most the time I'd string racquets for people, I can tell you from experience this is not a place you want to bring your stuff. Our routine went as such, someone brings in racquet and they would throw it in the back of the tech room. Not...

    Hitting at the net person

    You need to have a short memory. I can't tell you how many times I've hit someone with a volley, overhead, or even serve. Only time I'll purposly hit at the net person is when it's a volley and the net man decides to try and switch sides or I can put it away at thier feet. Just last friday I...

    Pro training regimens

    Aye, that's the one thing my workout has been missing. Should call up an ex, I'm sure she'd love to punch me in the gut for a few hours every tuesday, fed better watch out.

    Points against the pros

    I know a guy who can prob serve in the 110's and at best a 2.5 player. He started a few months back, use to play college baseball with him (pretty tall 6'4ish 200), he can gun a flat first serve. He just has no groundstrokes, volleys, second serve, and faults 3/4 of his first serve, but he's...

    Where do you get sport drinks?!?!

    Don't get accelerade, the taste is so awful you'd rather quit during a match then take a drink.

    Estimated service speed

    Ya until you see someone serve 120+ in person you have a bad gauge on speed. I remember the first time i saw it come at me, was playing some guy from croatia. He was 6'3 210 lbs of muscle. If I wasn't watching him hit it I'd swear it was a gun shot. The loud pop followed by the buzzzz as the...

    How to Set Your Racquet Up Like a Pro III: the Modern Pro Racquet

    How far up from the handle did you add the tape travel? I guess .5'', this make it somewhat uncomfortable to grip? Would be interesting to see the resaults on a 27 inch frame.

    jumping when serving

    Not going to name names, but are you just argueing for the sake of it? B Bill is right here it's time to stop argueing. You're say the same thing as the other. If you go to the balls of your feet your going to be on your toes, if you leap or take off from this position the last thing...

    Estimated service speed

    Ya that's what I was mentioning in my previous post. It's made by hot wheels (toy cars), someone should buy it and see how decent it works. I assume it's pretty cheap, looked like orange plastic, but if it just uses the doppler effect like others it might be a decent buy.

    Estimated service speed

    I saw hot wheels put out a crappy radar gun, go buy it assuming it measures over 50 mph. BTW that video that was posted, maybe it looks faster in person but that doesn't look over or near 100 to me.

    How long will that Cortizone shot last for Andre?

    It was actualy in his interview today during the morning matches. He said he couldn't move for an hour after his match, and spent the next day in the hospital where they gave him another shot of cort.

    How to beat a DAMN PUSHER????

    Pushers don't like to be out of there element. Try moving him all around the court, bring him towards net and lob or pass. Hit to corners, and come in for the volley. Most pushers give you easy volleys...

    would you rather watch ATP or WTA?

    The wta is unwatchable at the moment. The level of tennis when compared to the men side is weak. The only time I can watch is when Sharapova is playing, and that's just to see how loud she'll grunt that day.

    Serving question.

    Seems my second serve has ditched me. I've got no idea what happend but the last two matches I've played for whatever reason I keep framing my kick serve. This hasn't happend in at least the last year. It kind of popped out of no where, but a good 7/10 times the ball will fly 5 courts over cause...

    What's with the constant Gilbert plug?

    I think it’s to give Murray a relatable background. Kind of like whenever Blake plays you'll be sure they'll mention his dad's death, and all the other tragedies that happened. Just some back story to help the announcers kill time, or there's some huge conspiracy to give Gilbert as much press as...

    which grip is right?????

    I don't agree witht his at all. The reason you don't like it is the reason I love it. With my pinky off the cap it makes your grip not as tight, this allows me to whip the racquet faster then if I held it anyother way.
