Shoot... well, I can't do it anyways since my dog manages to catch the ball in his mouth before it can hit the fence. Either that, or he just gets pegged with the ball.

Yeah, he'll stay out there until I'm done practicing. The slobber thing is annoying, especially when you start serving with those balls and the slobber gets sprayed all over the place. :-?

Sign me up ...I love it when the balls are hit that they stick between the holes in the metal fence and your opponent has to to use force to get the ball out...lol

I think the club should be for people who can hit the fence on their second serve. Its too easy to hit it on a first serve.

I can hit the side fence from the ad side with my lefty slider;) I think most people can hit the back fence quite easily.

What? Don't let a short court keep you from this elite community. Go to an indoor court and hit the bubble which counts as a fence. I know indoor courts are tough to find in California, but look around.

I hit the fence on my second serves too. And my first serves it hits about in the middle of the fence.

pronation + hitting sweet spot does wonders.

At least you guys have 20ft behind the baseline for outside and inside courts =/

P.S- Wouldn't it be easier to hit the fence with a first serve kicker?

Nice club. I definitely can (wouldn't know except I hit the bubble indoors, my fences are close). About hitting side fences, try to hit the corner so that you hit the side fence, then the back fence, and stick it in the back fence. I've done it, that's a task though. Also, we had a competition to see how many courts over you could serve (and get it in) and one kid hit it in from like 4 or 5 courts down, it was crazy.

If you want elite, you should have a 100mph+ serve club needing video/radar.

Just a joke, few people would be eligible for memberships.

Well this would be more elite. With fresh balls you can one bounce a serve into the back fence hitting well under 90mph and probably under 70mph if it is hit with topspin. I think I'm going to play with my radar gun this weekend and see how slowly I can hit a serve and still get it to one bounce into the back fence.

yes, sign me up. Both wide kick serves and flat dtl serves hit the fence. Don't know about slices.

JRK - balls have lead in the paint, some such thing. Please don't let little Ruffy catch those balls.

Edit: I am losing track of how many clubs I am a member of :)

Yea they really are hard to find. None in my area for sure, I think there are some near San Francisco though. Where are all of these courts with 20 feet of room behind the baseline coming from?

Enroll me as a junior member. Only my first serve (when i am not having an off day) down the T and wide ones hit the fence on one bounce If my opponent cant get a racquet on them.

I couldn't kick serve a ball into the fence on a windy day blowing in that direction. My fence clanging serves are all on flat first serves.

I would like to be part of this club... but not today.
Sometimes, I serve huge ACES that people watching all admire, and it confuses me into thinking I am actually decent at tennis! ...I have a corner in the wall of our indoor club that I have blasted all the plaster off of....
I can be100% on fire somedays... and 100% totally off on other days, and not being able to correct the problem mid-match is so frustrating.

Then there was today.... I actually barely got a racquet on the ball and it hit my bumperguard on the serve and flew OVER the fence on the FLY! :oops: Totally uncoordinated, and just had no good serves. My 2nd serve was actually pretty good, but the more I TRIED to put heat on my serve, the worse it got. No matter if 2 days ago I was blasting heaters, if anybody saw me today they would INSTANTLY remove me from the good serving club.

When my serve is on, it is effortless, so I guess something was out of whack, and by trying to force it, I just looked like a clown out there.

Frustrating sport..... I was so pizzed out there. At least the sun was out for a while.

p.s. - Doubles is a DUMB DUMB game... nothing is more frustrating than finally hitting a great serve that the receiver can just barely float over the net and watch your lazy net-man slap into the net. AAAAAARGH!!!!

Am I the only one who finds serving doubles about 100000x times harder? Can't play doubles to save my life, I hate it.

You want an elite club?

Want to know if you have any real steam on your serve?

Assume your normal service position, and spike the ball into the ground on your side of the net, before your own service box, and get it to hit the back fence on the fly.

That is heat.
