I understand how you feel, if the guy is streaky then its no good, Ive definately improved my %, being happy with your string set up is one, I use solinco tour bite 16L, they are a powerful co-poly with huge grip, I know when I need a restring when my second serves start going a foot over the service line. It means I can have the confidence to go for my shots. As for 2 aces a game, it happens quite regularly as do zero aces and nothing coming back over the net. If conditions are fine and the balls are fresh then Im pretty hard to break. I have a strong eastern bh grip for serving so I get a lot of movement thro the air but Im also flexible enough to flatten out. Heres the link to my service pics....need to do a video.....!

Well, now that I think about it, there's a community college kid who is 6'2'', 200 lbs who does hit around 120 but he is real streaky. Like 1 in 6 he'll get it in. I drop back maybe 4 feet off the baseline, but I don't give him anymore space than that. You're doing two aces a game, Meags? That's scary good.

I looked back at my recording and found three rallies, where I wasn't yet tired. Running better in these clips. lol

That's my dilemma. I can't find anyone remotely like that in my town. My partner hits mostly flat, so I have to resort to just making it hard on myself on purpose. But you're right, I had been there since 8 am and at that time, it was already 4 pm. Plus, I just ate four heavy cheese ground beef enchiladas and 50 oz of Pepsi!
Well, I'm using the Sony HDR-XR160. 60p HD at 1920x1080. Best camcorder for the price. I got it for $400. I can pick them up in Beverly Hills brand new at the Sony store for that price. 160 GB hard drive too!

Strokes are looking pretty decent Tim, you look relaxed and both fh and bh look quite natural.
You do however look a bit tired, like you've been there most of the day and the feet aren't moving as well as at the beginning, either that or you're unconsciously a bit lazy due to your opponent not being at your level....
What you need is someone who is 6'3 and 76 kilos hitting 130mph serves at you then you'll soon have to get those feet moving :)
By the way that court looks rather nice, shame about the traffic tho. On another note what filming device are you using Tim, quality is very good sir.....
