Tim Nguyen replied to Eric J.'s discussion 'Looking for 3.5-4.0 to play at Fort Washington Park' in the group Manhattan Tennis Partners"Hey Eric,
If you're still looking to hit, I'm in the area and free most of the time. I usually rather play during the day during the week though. Maybe we can work something out.

Tim Nguyen commented on Matthew's group 'Manhattan Tennis Partners'"Looking to get back into the game and just moved into Washington Heights. I'm about a 4.0 but my serve is out of practice. Anyone want to rally or play ground stroke games?"

Tim Nguyen replied to Magnus Poulsson's discussion 'String tension and effects on spin'"I just read this article regarding spin and string movement back after impact.

Worth reading to adapt your string type; I'll say that the type of string should be considered…"

Sorry for the late response. I'm currently engaged at a busy client up north. I'll have to get back to you once I'm available.
Thanks for reaching out!"
Mario Blanchet left a comment for Tim Nguyen"Tim, I live on the Westside close to the Cheviot Hills courts and I am looking for other tennis players. I play at level 3.5. I work regular business hours, so evenings or early mornings are best for me. Hope to hear from you soon."
Tim Nguyen replied to Tracey D's discussion 'Singles in the evening 8:30-10p' in the group Westside L.A."Hey Tracey (or anyone really), sorry for the last minute msg, but I just became free to hit tonight.
Let me know if you want to play, your time is fine. You can email me at tim.nguyen@gmail.com
Cheers"
Tim Nguyen replied to Tracey D's discussion 'Singles at Penmar W/Th 8:30-10p' in the group Westside L.A."I followed my email update to see if someone was crazy enough to want to play this early in the morning. Or they perhaps knew of some magical lighted courts in West LA.
I can't make it on those dates, but would be interested later as 3-3.5…"
Profile Information
- I am a:
- Casual Player, Racquet Stringer
- Neighborhood or other helpful location info:
- Culver City - near Main St
- Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):
- This info is out of date! I got hitched & moved to NYC. Now have 0 hitting partners/friends except my wife who doesn't dig it.
I casually play for enjoyment only, but enjoy competitive spirits. I thought I would give this a shot since I've accumulated a total of 2 hitting partners in 2 years in LA. I work full-time so I can only play at night & weekends.
I used to play a lot ~ 3.5-4.0. Then I moved to LA and started my career. Now my lungs feel like they might be the size of a couple pears.
My game: serve is weak; footwork is sluggish; backhand is inconsistent; forehand is top-spinny ...
(had to keep the parrellism) ;) But seriously, I have some trouble toning down the top-spin on my forehand so I can understand if that can be annoying to some players.
The "I'm a:" section reminded me of my old days as a NCAA team manager (does not equate to skill) and as a racquet stringer. I no longer keep my machine in LA, so I can't help there. But I'd be happy to share my opinion about strings, racquets and equipment.
I AM NOT HERE TO DATE. Seems like that's a common theme here. Hitting partners & friends welcome though.
