TTW Current Top 10: I Ain’t Afraid of Ya List

[onehandbh]

The nearby island is Alcatraz?

No, but I actually know someone who learned to play tennis while they were in jail/prison.

 

[onehandbh]

Updated the list. I was guessing the J011y would be #1 but I haven't received his list yet, so he rank is pending.
So far @travlerajm is #1 with 15.

No, but I actually know someone who learned to play tennis while they were in jail/prison.

Both of us know who it is - let's keep it a secret for privacy reasons.

I can't even begin. Well over 50.

lol, that does not seem like punishment... get housed/clothed/fed and play tennis all day? does the state do stringing too? sounds like paradise
well maybe line calls get tricky... given shanks and all that, but i bet folks would be more generous than "honest" usta folks

Haha. Not quite like that. I am not a liberty to give more details, though. If we meet up in person in the future I can tell you more.

 

[onehandbh]

But if I tell you too much... Well, you know the routine.

 

[travlerajm]

But if I tell you too much... Well, you know the routine.

Your strokes are pretty solid. I wouldn’t have guessed that you learned them in prison if you hadn’t mentioned it.

Edit: oops I thought this was my trash talk thread.

 

[onehandbh]

Not me, though, I have visited a couple prisons/jails before for research.

I'll tell you who it is the next time we meet.

Tennis skills are useful in the prison shower ... when you drop the soap, bend at the knees picking it up.

Hit with @PhxRacket tonight for a bit. Great guy and good hitting. To be honest, we played a points set, and I think he really let me back in, so I appreciate it. He hits services spots like nobody's biz and has silky control on groundies. Really enjoyable time

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a points set?

 

[ChaelAZ]

A practice set. Standard points

 

[travlerajm]

A practice set. Standard points

Is there another kind?

Absolute blast hitting with, and competing against @ChaelAZ last night. Thanks again.

 

[BallBag]

Hit with @Topspin Shot today and got whopped. That brings my total to two with @TennisProdigy being the first. We still need to do a rematch, he's busy with not tennis things. I didn't emberase myself against @Topspin Shot so we might play again.

Definitely down for a rematch, you played really well and kept it competitive. I like your forehand, you ran me around with it and didn't make many errors.

A feel good story ! Nice to see a top 10 list making a tennis play happen in the real world.

Who cares? Don't beat yourself up, all that matters is when the video will be up for us to make snarky comments.
Seriously though all that matters is that you played hard and had fun.

I'm no stranger to a whopping so no problems there. No video this time though, we were on the clock and had not time to setup video. Just played a couple of super tie breakers.

I guess I have no business dreaming about a standup comedy job one day. It was an attempted humor and hope I didn't offend you.

Didn't take that way at all. Other than Old Greg, no one has offended me yet.

You realize that if he said something offensive about your game..that's the greatest of compliments.

No, I was burning the scam artist formerly known as GD.

Just took out Tiafoe in handy fashion. Ain't anyone here at that level folks. Then again, that isn't a rec player either so if the list is just of mere mortal rec players, the lists are still valid.

 

[onehandbh]

Just hit with @PSC85 last week.

 

[Bender]

This is a top 10 list of TTW posters who have played tennis with the highest number of other TTW posters.

I'm calling it the "I Ain't Afraid of Ya List" because this is a list of people who aren't afraid of meeting other people in real life and actually playing tennis with them.

To qualify for this list, please list the usernames of the other TTW people you have played tennis. if you didn't play but met up in person that is okay, too, if one of you was injured or can no longer play tennis.

I'll start with myself and the list off the top of my head.

​

I'm sure people like @J011yroger and many of other TTW posters have played way more people than me.

As more people put their entries, I'll add them to this list and update the current rankings.

EXTRA bonus if you have actually hit with Vince Spadea or @LeeD.

​

IIRC, the unknown TTW user's username is @CodyZzZ

I know of at least three other guys who frequent the boards, but alas I do not know their usernames, and from what they've told me they are usually on the racquets / strings boards, and not Tips & Instructions

Hey Man, that was a fun hit! Great tennis! Jim

 

[ChaelAZ]

Hey Man, that was a fun hit! Great tennis! Jim

Yes sir. I am all about that sanded artificial grass. Hope the rest of the stay was great.

 

[Jimbud]

Funny — I’m at a resort in NH right now and all we can do is talk about how it is really nice but AZ was so much better. We will definitely be back and next time I’ll travel to your area.......

 

[ChaelAZ]

Any time, but I was out at 6p last night and it was 109 degrees! We thought it was hot for our match. lol
Come in October man.

 

[movdqa]

Zero for me. But I'm willing to hit. Just not a lot of players in my area. And I have to fast for two days before hitting.

Where's the resort? NH really isn't known for resorts unless you're talking about skiing?

There's the Mt Washington Hotel but that's really like stepping back in time.

 

[Jimbud]

It’s the Wentworth by the Sea in New Castle right outside of Portsmouth. Nice enough. But i live in CT and the woman I’m seeing is from N.H. so up in this area a lot. I’m going to the Mount Washington this fall or winter.

I've heard of it but have never been. I'll add it to my list.

Our taxes are a lot lower than CT.

Agree completely. If move to NH if I could. What part are you in? Also, happy to hit if your interested and our schedules work.

 

[MaxTennis]

I am going to be in Boston from September 4-8th. I would love to hit if you're free

 

[movdqa]

I'm in the Nashua area, about 50 minutes away from Portsmouth assuming no traffic.

 

[Jimbud]

Yeah probably a bit far but maybe another time. Lmk if you’re ever in CT.....

 

[movdqa]

I only go through CT to somewhere else.

We're off the beaten path for sure being so far away from I-95.

@onehandbh I’ve also hit with @tnet
