If you are playing the 4.0 next season, yup, the whole story will be different especially tactics while and how 4.0 keep the ball in play and have the point setup.

I don't know about the effectiveness of your 2nd serve but it will be as important as a life saver, make sure it has a good kick and placement.

Funny thing is sometimes the more you want to finish the point/game, the harder you find it is, all about mental, LOL.

My shoulder problem has been an ongoing thing for years but it was ok until the passed Winter season when I play seriously and wanted to prepare the Summer season, I didn't have enough rest in between and the flat serve was just too much load to the shoulder....

Worst time I can't make a forehand backswing, don't even think about hitting a ball....

Winter season is coming up so I will have to have myself ready by Oct... trying....

You might need to have an MRI after 8 weeks of this. Perhaps, try doing shoulder exercises and applying heat regularly. It might improve shoulder flexibility.

Yes, I gotta improve my second serve ... learn to produce a good kick serve. I gotta start visualizing and go for it, and stop being so tentative. I get my second service over but it is weak. I'd rather get it over than double-fault. Half the time, my opponent over hits and commits an error. I know that I can't rely on that, but I'd rather make my opponent beat me rather than beat myself with a double fault. However, if I'm up 30-0 or 40-15, or better, then I should go for a reasonably strong second service.

By the way, I play on clay mostly so the ball slows down, and points can be difficult to finish. It's also hard to hit aces because of the clay, unless you are someone who can generate a tremendous amount of power.

I rarely play on hard court anymore, although I played on hard court for the first time in a long time against a buddy of mine a couple of weeks ago. The town resurfaced the courts in our main park. I think that USTA and Amex collaborated to do this for many courts across the country. They're blue. They also play slowly. That seems to be the norm now ... slow hard courts like the Australian Open. The US Open is no longer a fast hard court either.

Hopefully, you can play in 2 or 3 weeks. I'm hoping to return to play in a week or 2 as well.

Yep! I enjoyed it, it was me, Matt, Angie, and Nismo joe. We all discussed zombie apocalypse strategies, and came to the agreement that we need to stock up on good quality katanas. We're working on a contingency plan for when it all goes down. Then I showed them my homemade death ray laser and we terrified some ducks outside. All in all a good night

NSX....

After some 20 years it still turns my head when I see one on the street...

Too bad for the 20ish years of its lifespan, Honda haven't upgrade/update it's power-output, but only its price...

Before it got discontinue by Honda, a brand new NSX cost about CAD$140k plus taxes.... and that was about.... 7 years ago... the price was

I did X-Ray and Ultrasound 3 weeks ago and went to see the doctor just the passed Wed to see the report and both scans shows nothing wrong with my shoulder BUT the doctor suspect the problem of my neck might be the reason of my prolonged shoulder pain...

So I am working on my neck AND strengthening the muscle of my shoulder... less pain for the last 10 days so I believe I am getting better..

Regarding your next season, I played with 4.0+ players couple times, I realized a normal over-the-net 2nd is nothing to them but a setup for them to hit a winner, unless they wanna give you a 2nd chance they rally the return back to you.

If you are on clay, spin will work, put lots of spin on your shots, that's how Nadal being so dominate on clay cos his topspin kick up so badly on all the righty's backhand... side-spin on your serve will give you a good setup too...

ops... this is Z forum... enough enough...

Have fun on your game...
