Generic simple tennis question.

[J011yroger]

I am a beginner asking a simple question which I think I already know the answer to and if you don't tell me what I want to hear I will argue with you regardless of if you are better or more knowledgeable than I am.

[SinjinCooper]

You're arming it.

 

[ChaelAZ]

POMO OP SOL FWIW.

 

[J011yroger]

You're arming it.

No, my coach says my weight transfer is good. I generate power from my legs and core.

[ChaelAZ]

More lag and snap with some windshield wiper.

And cowbell....needs more cowbell.

My game isn't based on running around hitting topspin all day, I go for my shots.

Move to an ATP forehand

Great, more internet buzzwords. If you knew anything about tennis you would know all forehands are the same.

[SinjinCooper]

No, my coach says my weight transfer is good. I generate power from my legs and core.

J

In that case, you'll be wanting the RF 97.

Get a better coach!

 

[Topspin Shot]

Keep your one good eye on the ball.

 

[J011yroger]

In that case, you'll be wanting the RF 97.

Racquets under 100" are for dinosaurs and park player wanabees!

Please ignore this advice.
The most important thing is using a prostock racquet.

Also, you need to be pro-nation on your serve. That means wearing red, white and blue colors and enlisting in the military. And fighting to overturn the ruling on Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission 558 U.S. 310.

 

[J011yroger]

My coach played at Wimbledon and Davis Cup for his country, he knows more than any of you internet fools and I don't see the stupidity of asking a question of people I say are morons while claiming I have a great coach who knows everything.

J

 

[J011yroger]

Keep your one good eye on the ball.

My coach says the same thing. This is good advice.

I use a pure drive. Andy Roddick is my favorite player but that didn't influence me one bit. I demoed every racquet and it was the best fit for my game.

In that case, instead of fantasizing about Brooklyn Decker, do something more product. String your racket on a Brooklyn porch deck.

J

Does this work against 3.5 spazzes?

I have the best stringer, I use a poly/multi hybrid because my arm hurts but it's not because of my technique or stiff racquet. My strings last 6 months.

I can beat anybody on any given day, I don't play competitive tennis but have read the NTRP description and am about a 5.5.

Passes the sniff test.

J

I'm not sure what part of the country you read that description in. But, when people read that over where I live, it would only be 2.5 tops.

 

[Topspin Shot]

I can beat anybody on any given day, I don't play competitive tennis but have read the UTR description and am about a 5.5.

J

FTFY.

 

[J011yroger]

I am in SoCal, regular park players in their 7am doubles matches here can hang with challenger circuit players.

J

 

[J011yroger]

FTFY.

I'm about a 13 UTR I guess, I think the whole thing is a moneymaking scam except the part about women sucking, I agree with that.

J

 

[Limpinhitter]

Great, more internet buzzwords. If you knew anything about tennis you would know all forehands are the same.

J

Not really. The term ATP style forehand implies a specific technique that most of the best ATP players use, but that, virtually none of the WTA side players use. The only exception I've seen on the WTA is Rybarikova who is in the Wimbledon Semis now if you want to check it out.

Blah blah blah, turn sideways, take your racquet back and swing low to high, driving through four balls. All this other open stance mumbo jumbo is just covering up for sloppy footwork.

Thank God. I was afraid everyone was gonna get it.

I asked you a simple question, don't get pissy because you got caught up in semantics.

I'm not getting pissy, you are. I don't get caught up in semantics, you do.

I'm not here to engage in some internet toughguy contest with you, I started playing three years ago at age 28 and I won't quit until I achieve my goal of playing in the US Open.

J

Me either. Your goal is very ambitious, and, I would humbly suggest that the chances are of you achieving it will be enhanced if you master the modern, ATP style forehand. Just a thought.

It's all about the kick serve.

 

[Limpinhitter]

It's all about the kick serve.

Not if he has to face Federer's new and improved topspin backhand with which he swats kick serves like flies.

You can't beat everyone else by doing the same thing as everyone else.

J

Sigh! You can lead a horse to water . . . .

 

[J011yroger]

It's all about the kick serve.

I'm still working on the kick, I have a nasty slice and powerful flat. I haven't used radar but it's about 140mph.

If you're an athlete, that's about average.

J

140 MPH? Does the USTA know about this? You should be in the USO draw right now!

 

[J011yroger]

Not if he has to face Federer's new and improved topspin backhand with which he swats kick serves like flies.

I'm not at Federer's level yet. I lost to our local pusher in two tough sets last week. He is 60 years old and regularly beats 5.0+ players. Once I beat him I will be ready for ATP qualifying.

J

 

[J011yroger]

If you're an athlete, that's about average.

I've never played a sport seriously, but I'm naturally good at most things.

J

 

[ChaelAZ]

What socks are you wearing though? Makes a huge difference in your game. Remember, power comes from the ground up, so they start at the feet.

 

[J011yroger]

Do you think they would give me a wildcard if I sent them a video? I'm not a member, is that important?

Champion, I get a 12 pack at Target. My coach says they are the best.

J

 

[Limpinhitter]

J

With a 140 MPH serve, you should be a seed and a lifetime member.

The higher paid coaches recommend their sponsor's socks. You need a better coach.

I think I missed the point of this whole thread actually.

Yes, you will go from a 3.0 to a 4.5 in a year.

Good job.
Yeah you!

 

[J011yroger]

With a 140 MPH serve, you should be a seed and a lifetime member.

Ok I'll send a video to them. Should I get some new balls? My serve bounces three times before it hits the fence and I read it should only bounce twice.

J

 

[Limpinhitter]

He needs a better manager. With a serve like that he should have an endorsement deal for his signature racquet with a major racquet manufacturer.
