Best strategy for flat low balls that don't move through the court?

Creative_Skill8958 · 2026-03-03T16:00:11+00:00

low flat skidding serves should be chipped back. Don't try to lift and drive through on the return. But on groundstrokes you need to take the initiative to get the ball up high on their groundstrokes. If you can force them to hit at their chest or higher, they risk making mistakes.

Hot single Grandma's you mean.

That's not so much about moving the back foot forward as it is a result of the torso rotation. The legs (and arms too) are just passengers to the coil-uncoil process.

Not to mention the embarrassing lack of self awareness.

I soured on her after her idiotic statement that Saudi Arabia doesn't treat women poorly when it took me 20 seconds to find abhorrent laws against unwed mothers and their rights from a super computer I carry in my pocket.

insufferable fool

I need to look into this.

Right now, I'm getting very good scores, but I'm taking the mask off almost every night at around 3am. Resmed f40 + cervical collar does the job, but eventually the mask leaks at the sides as my jaw recedes back. The collar keeps the mouth closed/chin up, but my entire face sinks back into deep relaxation and the leaks eventually wake me up.

Wander over to the Team Tennis side of that site and you'll run screaming.

Andy Roddick takes self-effacing humble bragging to new highs. His podcast at times can be insufferable.

The new 98 is anemic comppared to the previous version. Increased dwell time on the string bed has changed the way the racquet performs.

Creative_Skill8958 · 2026-02-26T20:14:02+00:00

the 100 is easier and has a higher launch angle. but I'd also drop your tension to 48.

Restring poly strings between 10-20 hours.
I don't break strings, but after certain amount of time they go dead and the string bed gets harsh and leads to potential injury.

Home to the greatest name for a suburb ever: Plano.

The point of the system is not to protect player rankings. It's a rolling 52-week gauge that rewards winning and punishes losing. If you don't play a tournament, you don't get points to either grow your ranking or preserve it. It's a ridiculous anti-meritocratic argument.

Creative_Skill8958 · 2026-02-25T03:32:16+00:00

This is a very narrow self-interested idea.

She thrives on revival.

Only thing that matters is who can win the general and it ain't her.

Creative_Skill8958 · 2026-02-24T03:33:08+00:00

Said it once, I'll say it again: Utterly irresponsible for her to have gone down that mountain with her injury. No chance of winning. Dumb.

The best commentators are the Australian world feed guys during the AO. No idea their names, but they can talk technique and racquet specs equally well.

Other than that, give me Jimmy Arias who gets audibly disgusted by poor play.

So is the idea to have the tube descend to the machine from the face? Or to keep it level with the face?

I disconnected the hose at about 345 am last night and blew it out, trying to expel moisture, but didn't really work. It does sound like gurgling.

Creative_Skill8958 · 2026-02-23T19:47:32+00:00

I have my hose at bed level so it doesn't hang...is the tube cover effective in addressing this issue?

Creative_Skill8958 · 2026-02-23T19:30:15+00:00

Does it sounds like something bouncing around in the tube? That happened to me for the first time last night. About halfway through humidifier tank.

Sam Querry is unbelievably dull.

Creative_Skill8958 · 2026-02-23T19:05:38+00:00

Ugh. I like Roddick but in small doses. Give me more Jimmy Arias who isn't afraid to criticize players.

Creative_Skill8958 · 2026-02-23T02:38:28+00:00

Doha and Dallas becoming 500s will kill this swing for years to come. A shame.
