[J011yroger]

Video of the warm-up and first game upload is 56% complete.

I'm about 26% done with this Goose Island 15 pack.

After grilling some shell steaks and pounding a Pedialyte @Pickle9 is taking on a benchmark 5.0 woman.

He holds the first game with a tricky overhead.

Pray for Pickle.

I gotta go check the poll results.

Something satisfying about watching Jo11y hit forehands with the woody. Form seems more solid and reproducible, with longer hitting zone, than in his vids with his graphite racquets.

Let's just say I'm not racing to trade in my Graphene.

1-3 down is usually the optimal time to switch from hitting around mode into compete mode. If you wait much longer you will start to feel the score pressure.

Love hold. Strong start by Pickle. And Geez! Whats with the non stop moonballing in the first few minutes? Were you guys playing mind games or something? lol. Gotta take a work conf call so will have to come back and watch rest of the games. I wish the videos were a bit clearer. Maybe it's like that because I am on my phone? Will watch rest on my desktop. Good stuff, guys.

 

[n8dawg6]

jesus h christ jolly ... you got that joanna konta ball bounce

 

[CornOnTheCob]

love the trash talk: "hit the wrong button.. idiot"

careful tho bc next thing you know it's "fedace banged ur girlfriend. sorry to tell u that mate"

 

[topspn]

Love the court! Lets see what happens with the rest of the videos. Does pickle early jump out of the jar propel him enough or does jolly chop him on the plank!

 

[n8dawg6]

tell us more about this ****ing match! all i have is some bad calls from a mixxer and an astonishingly hot amazonian 4.5 gal playing 8.0 with a widely despised troll 3.5 *****

 

[pro_staff_user]

Love the vdos. Waiting for the rest. J011yroger, you are holding up pretty well with the wooden racquet I must say. Few of your shots would have made it over if not for the woody.

Pickle, you are playing great too. Considering your practice serves, I thought your serve games would be tough to hold but I was wrong. But , I cant take my eyes away from those black socks. LOL..

@J011yroger brings new meaning to "laying the lumber"

 

[J011yroger]

Games 6&7, 4-3 Pickle. Jolly makes the highlight reel with a clean forehand pass off a Pickle overhead down 2-4 15-15.

J

 

[J011yroger]

Games 8-9, Jolly finds his range and takes the lead, 5-4 Jolly.

Probably posting from the court between sets.

Jolly is still hitting hard with the Wilson Jack Kramer Autograph.

You expected anything less?

Video evidence that Jo11y deserves to play with a mid full-time again.

Not me. Just pointing it out for those who don’t understand wood racquets

Fair enough. I was wondering what all that moon-ball was at first. It's not very... Jolly

Also why I said there needs to be an over-under on frames snapped instead of strings!

He had to adjust to the wood. Much smaller sweet spot.

 

[vsbabolat]

If I was going to play a match with wood. I would go with the Jack Kramer Pro Staff. That thing is solid

Wilson let me down. I haven't been the same since they blobbed my heart.

[ROCKinCourier]

I keep thinking this is a pickle ball thread ...

 

[alidisperanza]

If it were permitted I'd go Vilas. If not either the JK sitting in my room or the Borg. The rest wouldn't hold up structurally.

I fear that the match frame was gravely injured during this tilt.

The strings are about half worn.

Games 10-12. Jolly falters serving for the set and has to win it the hard way.

First set 7-5 Jolly.

Pickle.... Just keep the ball in play. He’s not attacking you. He’ll eventually frame a shot. Work on not being a fence picker and you could have won.

Could have sworn I read fence PickLer there for a sec...

Ha- he seems to be putting a lot of balls in the corners. Not bad with that 65 head size. Solid play guys. I like those backhand exchanges, really nice even with those 2 handers (shudder).

I'm sorry, it was the way I was taught. I fully admit that the ohbh is superior but it's too late to turn back now.

Keep clubbing that 2 handed and don’t worry about my opinion. At least you can be purty with the slice. Even some left handed balance work ... good stuff.

 

[time_fly]

I think Jolly would have won the first set big if it weren't for all the double faults. Needed to hit a few more serves with "the club" before the match I think.

 

[Bender]

First thing I did was contact my stringer.

Instant -0.5 NTRP for not spelling "definitely" correct

Are you sure? He may have been defiant when he said it?

Yea, for sure, it was especially tough in the sun.

interesting how far pickle is behind the baseline to return the fearsome jo11y serve, even w the wooden racquet
