Women's 'Grand Slam'??

Started this discussion. Last reply by Tim Prapong Jan 23, 2012. 1 Reply

I was the auction winner of Myiesha Simmons' Speed Trac X radar unit and I couldn't wait to see what kind of speed I was serving at. Boy, was I surprised.... I figured my flat serve was about 100.…Continue

"I'm not a fan of it. When I was a kid, I never played tee ball, it was coach-pitch baseball. My daughter will be 10 in August and she's hitting with a full size Wilson BLX Bold and we're hitting almost full court."

Harold Bessette replied to Michael Tucci's discussion 'If you could change ONE aspect of your game for the better (within bounds of reason) what would it be?'
"Definitely my serve. I can rip forehands and backhands for winners but I feel my serve is a liability. I'd love to hit a 90mph kick serve. Is that even realistic for a 46 year old 4.0+ player? Haha!"

Hi Harold :-)  I haven't signed onto Tennisopolis in soooo long - like maybe 5 or 6 months!  I don't even remember.  Anyway, I never saw your not and then Tami told me you'd tried to contact me some time ago.  I don't know if I play a mean game or not, lol, but I sure do enjoy myself and I can get into some fun trash talk, too :-)  Let me know if you'd ever like to get a doubles game together at Andulka.  I'm not much of a singles player.  Looking forward to hearing from you!  Edra

That backhand volley looks vicious with that giant racquet. Just letting you know, that racquet's illegal. lol
