What's your favorite sports hydration drink?
Started Jun 30, 2011 0 Replies 0 Likes
For years I've been drinking Gatorade, then Powerade, then Propel, etc. Not to long ago, I tried coconut water because I thought, hmm...I hate the taste of sports drinks and a red tongue! Why not…Continue
Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?

Is tennis a dead sport? I post in Craigslist, and several tennis sites, and so far found 1 person (year ago but no longer in contact) I used to hit with a few times. This year, all I got were hacks…Continue

Costco has 16 cans of Penn Championship for 29.99. Best deal so far, so split the cost with your friends...

Anyone know where to buy tennis balls cheap? Target sells Penn @$2.19. I've seen as low as $1.99 on occasion. Big 5 sometimes have sales.

William Wong replied to Shawn's discussion 'Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?'"If you think finding one hitting partner for singles is difficult...wait till you start looking for 3 like-leveled people for doubles...I think part of it also is that there are relatively fewer people who are a good level to play with in…"
Shawn replied to Shawn's discussion 'Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?'"I hardly think your analogy to Supermodels even remotely compares. 5.0 is not even pro level. The issue is mainly that players are worst than they rate themselves. I know guys saying they're 4-5, but I could beat them with a…"
Kin replied to Shawn's discussion 'Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?'"Nice, I'd like to check out the courts there too. Today and tomorrow I already plan to play at liberty, and im in the works on trying to set up something with another tennisopolis member for friday. If something falls through, I'll let you…"
Shawn replied to Shawn's discussion 'Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?'"Sure, I can play anytime. I prefer Coulon Park-much nicer atmosphere ie no car noise, shade, just feels better hitting there. "
Kin replied to Shawn's discussion 'Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?'"Hi Shawn,
Are you still on this website? I'm playing 4.0 in usta league but winning most of my matches (singles 1) and tournaments (singles and doubles) so i expect to be bumped soon. I play at liberty park during the week starting at 5pm. Let…"

Mark / The Mayor replied to Shawn's discussion 'Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?'"Well said, Dennis. It is amazing how possibilities open up just by getting out there. I'll hit with a 3.5 and then learn that they know a couple 4.0s, then I'll hit with them and find that they know a couple 4.5s - it all…"
Dennis P replied to Shawn's discussion 'Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?'"I think Tennisopolis is a great way of finding people. When I first met Joe B., we mainly played on Sundays with his brothers and cousins at a local high school. They quickly lost interest and I was afraid our passion for tennis would be…"
Mark / The Mayor replied to Shawn's discussion 'Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?'"I've also gotten to stand around bored and lonely wondering if there is a better way - WHICH THERE IS!"
Tim Prapong replied to Shawn's discussion 'Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?'"Nothing wrong with going to a real tennis club and getting pick up games. Or just hanging out where tennis is happening and finding pickup games on the fly. I have gotten to hit with lots of former challenger pros and ex college players doing…"
Colin Chambers replied to Shawn's discussion 'Why is it so hard to find a hitting partner?'"I had the same problem for a long time. Don't know my rating but couldn't find someone who I couldn't regularly beat that could play often enough. I got used to improving my game by giving my opponent exactly what they want mixed in…"

Coulon Park in Renton
Looking for hitting partners before summer is over. Prefer consistent with come pace...although I love to use my Jack Kramer for a challenge. Most days is good for me. I've played at many courts, and Coulon Park is my favorite! Right next to the beach, breeze, shade, great if you don't mind a lot of people watching. The most comfortable (no car traffic noise) place I've ever played. A little kept secret in Renton. Pretty clean too. Next to the Landing with great shops and restaurants.See More
