I play with a group of guys who I'd say are at least .5 level higher than I; so I am grateful to be playing. We rotate on a weekly basis who we play against and it is just for fun; although I do like to put up resistance so as to not feel like I'm wasting my opponents time.
One of the guys (I'll call him Ed) in the group servers considerably hardly than everyone else, very much so in fact. His serves are so much harder I have a difficult time clearly seeing if his serves are in or out; so I wind up conceding many aces on serves I'd challenge if hawkeye were available. I have watched him serve (to try to figure out how he does it); and I was surprised to see that he foot faults frequently, but not by a ton.
I played with one of my other hitting partners yesterday and for the first time ever decided to try and see if I could detect foot faults while returning serve. To my surprise, I was clearly able to see him consistently FF. It is not a problem with him though, he does ace me some times, but I at least feel I have an opportunity to return his serves and I can clearly tell if his serves are in or out.
When I play Ed, I am considering watching him for FF. If I clearly see his serve land in or on the line obviously I'll play the point. But if he blasts a serve that I suspect may be out but I can't see it 100% clearly out, but I can't see it 100% in either; and I saw him FF, I'm thinking of calling a fault.
Would I be in the wrong? I am generous on giving my opponents line calls; but being generous on two lines on a single ball strikes me as being taken advantage of.
Thx for any thoughts on this.
