Vid is up! Would love some critiques on my new serve, new 2HBH, and new forehand!!! I am confident that if I continue embracing my own style, good things will happen.

I have so many questions

Why are you serving with a forehand?
Aren't you basically just serving up on a plate a short forehand to be attacked??

I also noticed you stand pretty far back to hit that forehand serve
 
If you post videos of you serving underarm, you will lose any surprise factor.

Maybe wear a wig or disguise.

“If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball,” - Patches O’Houlihan.

If I can beat 5.0 level players with a sidearm serve, I can beat 6.0 players with an overhead serve by using the same logic from one of my favorite underdog movies.

So you’re going to train blindfolded from now on too?

You can’t beat 5.0 players with a sidearm serve. Let me amend that, real 5.0s, not imaginary 5.0s

Is a USTA computer rated 5.0 a real 5.0?

When is the rescheduled match with Bill and will you use the new serve?

Rescheduled match is this Friday, and I will be using my side arm serve and my new 2HBH. I still have yet to take a set off Bill in our 3-4 full matches played, should be a good test for me!
 
TP needs to be evaluated by a mental health professional. His meds are a bit off. Or just let him run free and keep up the epic posts. I will practice my new forehand for 7 minutes against a wall with 3 year old balls and be better than Federer. How do I sign up for the US Open? I should be in the top draw.

TP how long do you think it would take for you to master a serve like Sampras or Federer? 20-30min? Maybe you can get video of that.

As much as I’d love for that to happen I could practice for 10,000 hours and it wouldn’t be even half as good as theirs... I simply don’t have natural talent as much as it pains me to

The only meds I’ve taken over the last 15 years are over the counter allergy drugs.

I also have an uncle who’s a psychologist and I saw a therapist for 10 sessions before my custody hearing in October 2020 Bc my lawyer said it would give me an edge.

Turns out I didn’t even need those sessions though, my lawyer told me I was the smartest client she’s ever seen in her 30 years of practicing family law.

I outmaneuvered the heck out of my ex-wife’s lawyer during cross examination and even stalled out for time on a difficult question so the judge cut him off.

And of course I won needless to say.

Congratulations on “winning” your divorce, although I think the mere fact you ended up in divorce is a loss. Also, great work in winning against the mother of your child.
 
Chill guys. No need to get personnal...

TP you are overestimating your abilities a bit, but I like your optimism.

Thank you, my performance in court on October 12, 2020 was one of the proudest days of my life. My ex-wife wanted sole physical and legal of our son and I, being the very fair and reasonable person that I am, fought for 50/50 custody and shared legal custody.

Another key factor that helped me win was me hiring a private investigator to stake out the house a week before the court date.

I knew she never watched our son in the mornings and slept in until at least 10 am everyday, and I was correct. Every single day the PI was there, my ex-wife’s mom would show up a little before 7 am then leave at 12 (presumably for lunch), and often come back later around 2.

Hey, I know I said I was quitting this thread, but seriously stop with this.

You can talk all you want about dumb tennis crap that's never going to happen, but unless this is fake have some common courtesy towards your kid and his mom.

Ok, I'm leaving again, PM me when you get to UTR 13.

The fact that this was one of the proudest day of your life and your other proclamations may explain why you ended up in divorce court to begin with.

Everything I’ve said is 100% truth as I’ve always told, and it just so happens that the entire court case is public record.

I am simply regurgitating facts that are already out there.

But I do agree with you, since this is a tennis forum, this thread should focus on the pursuit of my 6.0 ambitions, ty for getting us back on track(y)

So she likes to sleep in and had her mom come over to watch the little one while she slept? That actually sounds like a responsible thing to do...maybe I'm missing something.
 
So it’s wrong to work the night shift, taking responsibility and having your mother come over in the morning to play, supervise, help the child while you get rest? Hummmmmmm

Sorry but you sound like an arrogant........

The issue is that I made 100% of our income, AND I watched our son 50% of the time, then my ex-wife watched him 20% of the time and her mom watched him 30% of the time.

The judge specifically agreed with me that able and willing parents should take precedence over raising our son vs. grandparents.

Not only does she not work night shift, she had no job since our son was born with the exception of a short 2 month attempt of trying to work part time which ended shortly.

Not that I have to justify why my divorce was the best decision of my life, even my ex-wife’s aunt (who is also best friends with my ex-wife’s mom), told me on the phone that she can’t believe I lasted in a relationship that long with her. And that she was happy that I’ll be able to live a “normal life” and have a “healthy relationship” in the future.

I know self-awareness is not your strong point, but make an effort to read the room here... we're all empathizing with your ex, a woman that made a terrible, terrible mistake in her life and we all hope she can move forward to bigger and better things.

She’s currently going back to school to became a nurse practitioner. I too hope she can move forward and find success for the sake of herself and our son, I simply could not continue my marriage with her.

To help her succeed, I’m even given her our marital home which I bought with 100% with my money (before our marriage), and a very generous amount of money per month for the next 3 years until she finishes school.

Speak for yourself. Personally I don't dislike the op at all. A bit of a bragger yes, but , who cares. At least he's constructive, posts videos, matches, goals and that is ok with this particular forum. What is not ok is to come here only to spread hate and negativity, relenlessly, day in day out. My 2 c.

Yeah I agree with you. Tbf I haven't seen any hate/negativity but I have a lot of people on ignore and almost never click to see ignored content.

No one knows the behind the scenes info regarding TP’s divorce. I think it’s poor taste to speculate

Seeing as he’s the one who brought it up, though, I’d suggest refraining from **** talking your ex wife on a public forum. Just a thought
Click to expand...

you know what, I agree with you here. I was in the wrong to bring her up and our divorce. From this point forward I shall refrain from mentioning either one.

If you continued with optometry school you could have been a two noctor family. Your loss i guess

Not everything’s about how much money u can make bro. For me, my main goals are to live a free, fun, and fulfilling life. And my current job as a YouTuber allows me to strive for those goals more than if had chosen a path of optometry.

Do you have other Youtube channels, or is the tennis one your main one?

This is all just a spam ad for him to get youtube views. Best thing to do is not click on any of the vids.
 
Update: I have decided to take a break from TT forums while I continue my pursuits. No content will be posted here or my tennis channel during this hiatus.

Goodbye for now my friends, when I return you shall witness the greatest transformation of any recreational tennis player.
