The method that a tennis pro showed me once that greatly helped me with my toss (and serve in general) is as follows: 1) Do NOT move your legs (or shift your weight) during the toss. 2) Knees should not be bent (except for slightly, as during a normal standing position). 3) All of your weight...

Well, I guess I have pretty high arches, but I know exactly what you are referring to in the shoe. The like "bump" thing inside the shoe near the inside of the foot is quite annoying and it must be made for people with really high arches because it still annoyed the crap out of me for a while...

I actually used the AZ Courtposite for a while. Hang in there buddy, it will be painful for a while...don't worry though, that's just your foot molding to fit the shoe (yes your foot molds to the shoe :wink: ). After the molding process is over, the shoe really does fit like a glove and it is...

I thought Phillipoussis used the ProStaff Original 6.0 last time I checked, but I could be wrong...

Looks okay, but I have one question...Why the multiplication by 25? Where did you get 25 from?

Sanitarium has the correct definition. The clock does not describe where you hit the ball, IMO. The clock describes the swingpath necessary to hit a certain type of serve, such as 6-12 (bottom to top of the ball) for kick serve and 7-1 (diagonally from bottom left to top right of the ball) for...

1. Cocoa Puffs because it is the best cereal known to man. 2. I am not registered to vote yet (something I should probably take care of before November). 3. 9mm silenced handgun, that way they will never know what hit them. 4. And last but not least, light beer tastes GREAT, but still gets...

I cannot execute this shot myself, but know a couple of people who can. From what I understand, you step over the ball and do not hit it when it is between your legs. Rather, as your back is to the net, the ball will be behind your back and in the "hole" that you create when you spread your...

The reasoning is clear as to why TW only playtests tweeners and players racquets. The main demographic for THIS site, IMO (not through any research conducted by me, simply my conjecture), would be someone who is probably interested in mainly a tweener or players racquet. My logic here is that if...

Okay, I noticed an "old" post on here from like a week ago and it raised a point for me about a misconception/question that I have about the backhand slice. But let me precede my comments with this statement: I never really had anyone teach me the backhand slice because all of the instructors I...

Bungalo Bill, being a tennis instructor, has earned his "pompous" stripe through years of work with tennis, in my opinion. So he can be pompous or arrogant with whomever he wants so long as he keeps pumping out the good advice that is useable by pretty much everyone who looks at these boards.

There are multiple discussions on this message board regarding pronation and its importance in everything from the forehand to the serve. All of this has led me, the average tennis player, to wonder: What exactly is pronation? And furthermore, Is it something that occurs naturally during the...

It appears that Camilio has had some physics experience, but I agree with the above posts that heavy topspin is much harder to return than a flat ball. I had a coach one time who hit me this shallow topspin forehand. It bounced about 4 feet in front of the service line, and then SLAMMED into my...
