BG, have you ever worn the Wrist Assist as a fashion accessory? I did one night, and got VIP'd at a local nightclub and was treated like a celebrity.

I can't say I'm a real expert in what this WristAssist is all about..... it's not another one of Brad Gilbert's whacky inventions, is it? HEY BG, IS THIS YOU???

Here's what I know for sure. If you are wearing some funky contraption on your wrist as you hit the ball then there is not a hope in hell that you are feeling what a true pro feels. And secondly, you are no true 4.0 GOAT!

A true 4.0 GOAT would hit the ball with funky spin (Niculescu like) that no one can handle. You can't teach 4.0 GOAT's as they are a rare breed of funk and junk.

They don't hit the ball... they carve it, slice it, caress it, headfake it, work it, trick it and manoeuvre it into uncomfortable places on the court.

Don't mess with a 4.0 GOAT's game as you will only stuff them up. Don't try and coach one as they speak a different tennis language. You will confuse them. And definitely don't give them a WristAssist and try to make them hit them the ball in a conventional way as all the mystery spin and finesse will be lost forever.

Long live the 4.0 GOAT.

Do you think American juniors are at a severe disadvantage to their European counterparts due to less experience on red clay?
