    Nike Lawn Group 2013

    There used to be some great Wimby fits but this crap that nike released is just plain laziness. I will always keep my red piped Cerutti 1881 that Connors wore.

    Can someone with training experience comment please?

    I'm kind of in the same boat, gained weight when I was laid up from wounds in Afghanistan. High intensity intervals work great for me, weight training is good too but as other have said, you have to watch what you're eating.( and I love to eat so i know) be careful running at first, can be...

    Are adult camps worth it?

    Costagirl, right on the money yet again! Anyway, for a higher level adult, the comments are all pretty much right on. I hear good things about Newks, good tennis, fun, drinking, etc.. As I trained as a Hoppmans junior, i'm partial to Saddlebrook so far and i'm also a native of the TB area. I...

    Tennis Travel in a nutshell!?

    Got to say, for me, the program offering. If i'm shelling out the dough, i want to be challenged and also have the first class amenities that go along with that ( massage, gym, video). I've said before here that i'm a big Saddlebrook fan. I trained with Hoppman in the early 80's and i love what...

    Janko Tipsarevic's Glasses

    Ok, here's the deal... Oakley glasses, depending on which lens you use, can sharpen the environment. Day or night. Perscription lenses are available, but that's not why some players use them. Try yellow lenses at night, they make a huge difference in being able to see the ball.

    Tennis needs a "Bad Boy" to revive it's low status

    I wish it was like that too. Nastase, Connors, all those guys had personality. Unfortunately, and forget about the "gentleman's sport" stuff, tennis, and by association the ATP and WTA, is a corporate entity. That's why you have no surface speed variations, etc... anymore. It's bland due to the...
