<p>Hey all! I live in the Northland and haven't played in YEARS. Can still hit forehand and backhand, and just really want to do that, rather than play/serve. I'd self-rate at 3.5, but played 4.5 years ago.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>e.g., a new RF 97 "on its way" as-of-today -- tho my (older) 95's both recently strung so:</p>
<p> <strong>"I have sticks, case of new balls, and WILL travel</strong>," so-to-speak ... no problem hitting w/ "former D1 (or maybe <em>more realistically</em>) D2 college players" ... Tho, that'd require "sharpen my edge," and can't ACCOMPLISH that w/ e.g. the 3.0 - 3.5 players (mostly "walked over" last season ... since <em>re-dedicating to tennis)</em> after nearly decade layoff -- playing mostly pickup-basketball. </p>
<p>Long/short: can't really enjoy tennis (to the <em>full</em>) w/o hitting w/ another athlete, for whom tennis is "first sport," such as myself. <em>Se la vie</em>. Playing a lot of league/tournaments is fine, but only by PRACTICING bla bla ... So I'm an "ideal" practice-partner (I believe) for just-about-any level (amateur) inc. former juco or D2 who actually <em>understands</em>: "5-min warmup-then-jump-into-competition is probably NOT going to sharpen one's game" (anytime soon).</p>
<p>FINDING that-type partner (hitting partner) isn't "easy as one might think" Lol!</p>

<p></p>
<p>PS: 45F & sunny today, nearly-dead-calm, and I'd hit groundstrokes today, Sunday, for an hour ... IF I could find somebody -- obviously willing to drive "your preferred courts." No pressure. Presently difficult finding practice partner(s) south of Plaza ... USTA league(s) are immanent ... gotta explore options with <em>bonafide tennis player(s)</em> ... "recreational" yes; but "serious/legit men's singles" much more my inclination. Some doubles, too. So 3.5+ might be "OK for some occasional warmup/sessions, might (sometimes) even be good for us both"; ... not all <em>that</em> rigid, today; particular preference(s) - no habitual pushers, please Lol! ... IOW generating <em>nearly all</em> the pace w/ practically any/every/body last year -- CAN get "wearisome."

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I just moved back from AZ, looking to start playing again. I was hitting twice a week, best guess is 3.5-4.0, but I'm not picky, just looking for a casual session and friendly sets. I live outside Lansing/Leavenworth, so these seem to be the closest courts:</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Not sure how active people in this group are, but I'm looking for some hitting buddies that can play near the Prairie Village/OP/KC area. I played in high school (not familiar with the ranking system so I don't know mine) and am just now starting to pick a racket back up and hit around...so after sixish years I'm a little rusty. I would call myself intermediate (was never incredibly "intense" - I played upper JV in high school) and am just looking for laid-back…</p>
