I was about to mention that as well.....got ball machine, looking for premium ball, and looking for advance player's racket!
Later if you jadi go and give him some tips, in the end you kena tips instead x-p

Maybe an x-player try regaining his fitness back. His looking for a solid sparring partner, thats why he bought a ball machine. He's looking for a pressureless ball, then he will spent much time re-polishing his stroke. He's looking for a small head size, he was a player in 1990's.

Hahahhahaha. Just an assumption.

frankly, i hate those baseline rallies esp simon, murray, djoker or whoever always stays at the back. yup they do have those killer forehand etc but that not as entertaining as what we saw from Samprass, rafter, philipousis, fed. They should have more varieties in their game. Increase their percentage on the varieties of shots. Too much rallies also boring..

You come and watch me play. I can go to the net or play from the baseline. I believe you will admire me, or even worst start stalking me. rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

bro prae, that karim pin is my enemy no 1 on court. Pardon my "kill kill die die" phrase ...

wey karim, balik laaa, tak sabaq nak belasah org dlm court ni hahah

Malas la nak balik, sekarang aku duk cuba nak naikkan NTRP aku ke 3.0. Nak cabar si sophis yang dah 4.5.

Prea,

Agree with you on why there are not many S&V players left. Since you mentioned on Edberg, and im not someone who has privilege to watch Edberg at his prime, can you elaborate edberg's serve mechanic since his serve is idolized by a friend of mine (used to be a coach at kelab taman tasik); and may be because of your answer i can figure out the reason why Australian Open decided to iconize his serve stance.

uiks ada hati nak naikkan ke 3.0, aku yg 2.5 ni pon bleh belasah hang kaw2 hehehe

bro prae..what u said is true, for us the spectator, sitting in front of TV for 2 hrs seeing baseline rallies is no fun, i want a bit of drama.

i hope to see one player who utilized current equipment and change the type of playing, maybe create hugh/super duper spin during serve and charge in for volleys etc

there must be a change in the way they are playing.

karim...masa aku kecik, aku ada baju edberg, sejibik

again...

who is among Edberg era is playing double backhand? when double backhand started??
*
Lelucky, tolong jangan belasah aku. Hang ada baju edberg? So hang umoq mesti dah 50 tahun. Hang ni la, nak tenguk orang main S&V la, dunk smash la... dulu masa zaman S&V, hang komplen match terlampau cepat. La ni hang komplen pasal baseline ball basher. Hang nak apa sebenarnya?? Cuba hang bagitau kat aku, nanti aku hantar sophis and akughi untuk entertain hang.

Edberg's serve was a kick serve, on his 1st and 2nd serve, apparently more on his 2nd.If you compare his kick to, today's game may be you can say ahhh kacang his serve, but Edberg could back his serve up very well, the reason was his forward movement to the net, his 1st volley usually is inside the service box, or closer...people have a huge misconception the harder they serve the more easier the 1st volley depending on the return that may be true, but in actual fact the bigger the serve, the bigger the return, the less time you have to move forward, and close in at the net, Edberg's serve allowed him to get in nice and tight, he did not care if you could return his serve, if you passed him on the return and or if he committed a unforced error, that did not change his mentality, he lived and died serving and volleying, only later in life did he sometime's not serve and volley 100%...
rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Kacang (to some) to produce the same effect, but a suicide to copy the same movement. i think he bend his back outrageously in comparison to others. If not mistaken, i read somewhere maybe, maybe tt.tennis-warehouse.com mentioning edberg were doing 1000 sit up per day during his teen.

So kid, please dont do this at home, only at tennis court. biggrin.gif


Apart from edberg, mcenroe and sampras has a really nice serve motion.

I had a chance to read some japanese tennis magazine and very impressed with the way they do the explaining. It was like reading a reverse engineering guide on every tennis stroke. Unfortunately dont bought it, because it was written in Kanji.

Among the thing i like, how they explain on the good posture, the need for split step in changing direction and the movement of the hip/torso movement to generate powerful serve. Most of the explanation is using a frame by frame (high speed camera) picture. If Tennis.com took 6 frames to explain a move, the japanese magazine took more than 50 frames to show Nadal movement.

But very unfortunate, it was in Kanji.

HAHAHAHHA good one sophi! Make me laugh out loud.....but seriously, anywhere can eat lah, I like Malay,Indian food as well, I cannot say I have a favourite food, as long as tasty, moderate price, and decent serving/portion I am ok, dun say charge me RM55.00 for a plate of chicken rice, just because eat in some 5 star hotel.....if like that I rather eat at kaki lima place and eat and spend my friends makan.......then all happy and all have good food!

Karim I welcome you partner pooh!!! After that win or lose can change partners, just for fun, but keep me and pooh separate, sure gaduh at the court one........me and that fella don't see eye to eye on ALOT of things! Later I ketuk him when he screw up, he later sabo me, give bola gantung to my opponent and later they whack the ball hit my didi............I KNOW this is what he is planning!!! Don't deny !!!!

Prae;

Very nice forehand, a loose arm, with trunk rotation and moving forward (walking footwork). Sure a buaya la this guy. We send a tiger in french cap to deal with this buaya. So Pooh, are up to Prae challenge?

u're losing lots of power due to the right leg bro.. when it bends, both left and right has to point in the same direction..it cannot create a V..thats the reason why platform stance is much taught due to easier controlling..servers like raonic who moves his leg up still makes sure he points it at same direction so that biomechanic wise the body is pushed into 1 angle and not split  thumbup.gif
PS: toss centre n use wrist  tongue.gif
