Music Game

Hit Me With Your Best Shot--Pat Benatar

Hey, anybody else notice that the poster who started this thread hasn't been heard from since page 3 or so? I don't have much experience with discussion groups, is this weird or normal? Maybe he's like Johnny Appleseed wandering through cyberspace sewing The Music Game on different groups, but I'm worried that GreenBalls progressed to grape nuts and then to Moby Dick with a fatal outcome.

That's true jswinf, where are you GreenBalls? Pay us a visit and see where we went with the concept you introduced..lol..anyway, I think this is a lot of fun. It really makes you listen to songs you like, but may have forgotten, or may have never really listened to. Good work folks. Thanks.

Borg, what style backhand would you classify Borg's? It's like a 1 1/2 to me; two hand wind-up w/one hand contact/follow thru.

DLK: He definitely had a 2 hander (contact point with 2 hands, which is key, because ball is GONE, right?), yet you are right, his one hand release was unique. He was a VERY good junior ice hockey player in Sweden and played into his teens, so that's how he developed it. He basically ushered in the 2 hander along with Connors and Evert.

See him hit it here in this 1979 clip, uploaded by TW Poster Krosero:

He had a great backhand, but his "money shot" was the forehand (best in the Game at the time. His BH, in my opinion was second to Connor's 2 hander, which was a truly fierce shot. Borg's BH was nevertheless AWESOME, plenty of topspin, plus he had a very good 1 handed slice that he used a lot especially at Wimbledon).

Check out Federer and Borg here with their forehands:

(remember, Borg was playing with a ~17 ounce wood frame, strung at 81 lbs, and about 70 sq. inches! Imagine him with the modern frames of today...)
