Added on June 21, 2010, 12:07 pmthanks alot for ur encouragement........

anyway, i also juz realized tht i hav another flaw: bad time management

on top of vobs that i have voted, i would like to vote for kelvynlym or blackrose 2 be leader, since they both are always on time, unlike me...... im 'malaysian time'.............. i do realized punctuality is important so i dont think im fit enough...

and to all those who waited for me last sat.... sorry
i regreted for being late and i will belanja 100+ this coming sunday morning in sunway. serious

Haha if there is a list for the 27th than i am IN!
Btw is there like a court fee or any kind of fee to be paid?

to ur pleasant suprise, im pleased to tell u that its 100% free of charge

Carto no need to be scared, I from East Malaysia, and you have my support heheheeh.
Being a leader doesn't mean being a know-it-all, right now the most important thing is people that have 'elected' have your vote of confidence and your respect, things will work hand in hand, I rather have a leader that tries to improve himself by listening to others , open to positive criticism's, that a leader that 'pretends to know it, but cannot do it'....
You are welcome to ask for any advice, from experience players, and the general forum.

Have fun!

Im out of the picture please.....

So new nomination and also I will nominate INV as i think he is quite responsible in making sure newbies are at ease then they first visit sunway tennis court:

1) Carto
2) KelvynLim
3) Blackrose
4) INV

Who else, we shall end this nomination by Friday evening, then saturday u all can discuss at the court, then sunday night confirm k....carto to coordinate:)

guys...i owes have tis problem...i can stroke..but when it comes to playing game....i owes lose....y??? can some1 pls enlighten me??

Hahahaha I dunno how many YEARS it took me to get where I am x-p , if I can pass any advice, you decide if you want take lah, I like the concept caring is sharing mah, hopefully you guys pass on your knowledge as well to new friends/kaki's you meet up with.Sure make alot of new friends!!!! Who doesn't like friends?!! <3
Anyway whoever becomes leader must delegate certain responsibilities to other poeple, as it can be frustrating if you expect leader to organize, facilitate, provide, etc.

Please have 'open communication' all the time, then everyone who expected to know, something, will :-D

confidence? most likely you don't dare to go for big shots... same problem with me
pressure?
game also depends on serve and taking serve, both also must have confidence

i dono...i don feel like i don have confidence..but i jus dono y..i think i've de problem of rallying...i tend to slice while returning serves...wat say u,bro prae??? any advice?tennis guru!!hahaha...

Wah pinky, I am expecting new Dunlop racket from you!!! Instead of chicken or chicken rice!!
J/K hehehehe

To be honest, without ever watching you play, I think most of it is mental, lets say for example, I feed you 20 balls and I tell you you must get all 20 in, almost guaranteed , you will slow your swing, pop open your racket face, and get all 20 in.I don't think anyone in their right mind, will bash the living crapola outta the ball, as your chances of hitting all 20 in, will decrease.

Its the same for stroking, thats why I emphasize you have to have certain drill's that 'force' you to play low percentage shots ( at the moment, naturally this will be your bread & butter shot)

As for returning serve, if you have a chance to 'block' or slice the ball deep, and the opponent cannot really take a full swing at the ball, at your level you have accomplished what you set out to achieve, now the rally starts, here you either have to be consistent , by drawing an unforced error from your opponent, or if the situation arises hit a 'winner'.

If you want to learn how to return of serve, you must find a practice partner:
1. Your partner serves, (he practices his serve, he MUST tell you where he is serving, so you can groove that particular return)
2.You practice your return of serve , set up targets , if you can hit your 'target' you have accomplished something.

Make sure you have more than 30 balls, try and get a rhythm.

Have fun , Mr Pink!

haha...walao...i'm jus back to miri..i have oly a can of aussie open..haha...sorry ba...old balls throw liao in kl... :3
