Hi Will! It's great to have you here! I have seen fuzzyyellowballs before and I think you make some fantastic videos. I love your use of the blue screen. I bet FYB and Tennisopolis could benefit each other in some way. I look forward to talking with you at some point.

We are all very excited to have created this "community-based" tennis social network which puts the focus on the members.
To get started, pleaseupload a photo or avatar for yourself (if you haven’t already.) Whether it's of you, your dog, or your racquet it doesn't matter, but it helps people remember you. You can also personalize Your Page with pictures, links, RSS feeds, colors and more here.
Will,
Let's give it a try. I'd like to put FYB on the main page in exchange for a link or two. I can feature the first vid in a series and then below, I can have text links to the other vids in the series. Sound like a plan?

Thanks for the videos! Now I'll be sure to make it to the tour and take Ana out for dinner and a movie hahaha. I was freaking out through the western grip, I couldn't figure out if I was holding it wrong or if it was supposed to be that weird.. turns out it is! LOL.
Those videos were somewhat mind-bending for me though since I'm a righty, and you're... not.
That's always been a challenge for me because I don't know how to read people's serves.. and when they serve bullets, I can hit with the right stroke, but it's always a quickie stroke.. kind of like what Sampras did in the 2001 Wimbledon match.... doing whatever he could to just get the ball back, airing it out or dinking it.
Is it all in the read so you can set up for a full swing? Or do you just do a half motion?
Wow, totally wasn't expecting to hear that you have been to DBQ. Next time you are in town, I'll have to show you some of the other "sights"! Thanks for the add!
Hi Will, Do the Miami Tournament Pick-em contest. We need about 8 more entrants to qualify in the battle-of-the-boards. It makes following the tournament more fun. And will bring more eyeballs to Tennisopolis/ FYB. Gotta sign up tonight. :-)

Just a heads up, we're going to do the French Open Pick-em contest, so get your brain working. You'll see the graphics on the main page soon-ish and keep an eye on this thread in the Forum. Good luck.

Awesome site, seriously, love FYB. Saves me a ton on lessons which i can put into ball machine rentals. Consider putting up a paypal donation link, ur site is that awesome.
Hey man I just wanted to thank you for the awesome work you do at FYB. Everything is displayed and explained perfectly, and the site setup makes it easy to find stuff. I really appreciate it!
Hey Will- I live in NW DC, looking to hit regularly. Let me know if you have some time next week to hit around 6:30 or so. You can email me at cnunneker@gbsio.net.

Will, great seeing you at the BNP Paribas Open! I wish I could've hung out with you more. Can't wait to see the fruits of your labor. Thanks also for the shout out on twitter, about 10-15 of your twitter followers joined here.
Peace,
M
Thanks Will for the tennis lesson videos.
I've been playing for a long time, but I never picked the correct techniques
for playing. So, my skills suffered as well as the games won.
I hope to start playing consistently with the correct form.

I've been interested in photography for about 7-9 years.
When did you start making tennis vids?
