    Is Andy Roddick's serve proper?

    The Roddick motion is a little crazy at times but works for him because of his immense leg and ab strengh. Juniors nowadays are trying to hard to replicate this motion, and it is giving them more problems than anything. For them it is too physically demanding, and a pain for a coach to fix. As...

    About to get new racquets, need help...

    I am not a big fan of the Pure Drive Roddick, it lacked feel in my opinion. The Diablo MP however, would let you get the feel one needs for drop shots and a net game, without sacrificing much of the power like the Roddick has. I also think the 16X18 string patterns gives you more access to spin...

    Lighter more powerful LM Prestige MP

    The Instinct is an awesome racquet, the tight string pattern allows some additional control, and the light weight lets you swing fast and through the ball. Actually a pretty solid racquet. The Prestige is sort of similar, as far as tight string pattern, but everything else is different. You...

    POG OS String: Alu power? Rough? or Timo?

    Alu power is a good feeling string that has a lot of pop, but Timo I feel is just as good. BB Timo gives you the same power, but added touch and feel and has better tension maintenance. I would try it out, it might suprise you.

    Has anyone played with...

    theace21, describes nylon right to the tee. Its a string all about durability. I actually know one of the teaching pros around here that uses it. It lets hard hitting players save some money, so it probably would be something you would like if you tend to break string and are not wanting to...

    Electronic Line Calls

    In recent news, alot is being said about electronic line calls, or instant replay to assist the umpires and line judges. Alot of people seem to be for it, but I would like to add my opinion. Humans make errors we all know that, I will not dispute, there are times when I play matches when I would...

    my practice partner is much worse than me

    Don't do that man, half the fun would be killing him at least for me. I have to do the same thing some times because I live in a small town, so just test yourself and experiment is what I do in these situations.

    Balancing tennis/workout time and school

    Each day, immediately after school I have a practice partner to hit with. I play about 3-4 hours six days a week, after I'm done on school days, I go home and buckle down. If you don't have enough time in the evenings wake up about 5 and hit the courts for a while, then go back home and get...

    Whats your grip for the overhead smash

    I would never hit a serve with an eastern grip, that would just completely kill me, especially when I had to hit a kick serve. I also don't think I could hit my overhead that way, I can hit into it and snap my wrist more, or even slice it with a continetial grip. I have to use a continetial grip...

    Help me with my kickserve~

    Check your ball toss, make sure it is slightly behind you and at 11:30, also another reason you may need more racquet head speed to increase the spin, I find that flaw in a lot of peoples kickers. Swing all out, check your toss and hope they start kicking. The kick serve is a jewel in the...

    Lindsay chokes YET AGAIN!!!

    I think Davenport, is a deserving number 1 and a great player, she consistenly, year after year wins and makes it deep in tournment draws. Cut Lindsey some slack, she has some age but shes still out there winning, and I admire that.

    what is espn doing?

    They are supposed to be a sports network, and show a variety, do they not consider tennis an important enough sport to broadcast it a little more. It is depressing to see that ESPN does not care enough about our sport. I think I'm going to get the Tennis Channel and say "SCREW YOU ESPN".

    espn gave the results

    At least you can see the matches for this years season championships, my ESPN 2 puts News on during the time my guide says tennis. I hate ESPN, they are just a bunch of SOBS.

    Call me ignorant, but....

    I have to add a story about a guy I hit with from time to time. From the old school, eastern grip, great placement, superb volleys. He smokes me everytime, not because he is that much better than me, but because he hits a cleaner shot, has a mental edge, and knows that even though I have a...

My email is bobbybunnell@scrtc.com. I would just like to know what I need and do to become part of your compartive reviews...

    After having watched Gaudio play a few days ago, and seeing his string I was interested to test it out. TW doesn't carry it and I can even find out what it is called. Somebody help me out :)

    Why don't Capriati and Seles officially retire???

    I totally disagree, I think Capriati definatly has some play left. As we seen in 2003 and 2004 she can consistently compete at the top and contend in Grand Slams. I really think she can comeback off her surgury and play good tennis again. Seles may be a little unlikely, but she is still a pretty...

    when will fed play nalb?

    I am looking forward to that match. Even though Federer has beat him in their recent meetings Naldandian still holds a 5-2 edge I believe. Could their be an upset in the making....

    Venus said Kim played bad in their match

    Again we see the Williams sisters cannot face defeat admirably. Kim was playing bad but she picked herself up and rolled past Williams, that is the sign of a great player.

    Which of these marquee matchups was the greatest?

    My vote goes for Johnny Mac and Bjorn Borg. The fluid, voliate, American serve and volley, against the tough quiety Scandinavian baseliner. What a rivalry for the ages...

    Nadals outfit is the ugliest thing ive ever seen

    I agree Nadal's outfit bugs the crap out of me. If he wore it any tighter it would cut his circulation off!

    Which women pros style do you like?

    Clijsters, I love her consistence and swinging vollies, along with her great slid and squash shot. Kim is just a great personality and player to watch on T.V. The WTA tour would be so much different without her.

    Volkl V-Engine Tour 10 Midplus

    Hey guys I was looking for a racquet that is a little more comfortable than my Dunlop 200G. I have heard alot of good things about this frame, but I haven't even picked it u and swung it! I have used a Volkl Catapult 10, Head Liquidmetal Instinct and most recent the 200G. Does this racquet feel...

    Serve Volleyers an outdated game?

    I'm a serve and volley player also and i agree it can be hard to consistently serve and volley today but it is still effective against a lot of players because you can use their powerful returns and send a winner anywhere on the court. It is also good to make your opponet nervous so he will hit...

    Best serve for a serve and volley?

    There really is no best serve to serve and volley on. You have to keep mixing things up, a slice or kick serve are always good to use if you place them well enough. I guess if I had to pick the best one it would be the kicker into the body.
