Why? How come? (in a random order. More questions will appear here.)

1) 12 tennis ball problem (A challenging Math logic quiz. Time limit is 1 year.)

(A tennis player needs logical thinking skill.)

2) Why is it not easy to know your potential in tennis?

3) Why can’t we see/feel ourselves in hitting balls as much as we see/feel others hitting balls?

4) Why are there tennis coaches while there are no coaches for walking?

5) Why is hitting a tennis ball the same as hitting a ball in the baseball game?

6) Why is there difference in forehand shots and backhand shots?

7) Why does the sponge ball(Speed ball) give a bigger sweet spot?

8) Why is the grip(how you grip a racket) decides everything in hitting?

9) Why do you play tennis?

10) Why do you want to win a tennis match?

11) Why do we learn more from lost matches?

12) Why does anybody play tennis differently?

13) Why does playing tennis games show your mentality?

14) Why is it said that playing tennis needs the brain?

15) Why is the “feeling” a ball is most important in hitting it?

16) Why is it the best to grip a racket the loosest?

17) Why is it hard to relax in the pressure situation in a match?

18) Why are lost matches more important to improve your tennis?

19) Why is it that the tennis physics/mechanics theory does not help?

20) Why is it hard to play tie-breakers?

21) Why can a tennis ball roll on the tennis court?

22) Why is it important to practice shots under pressure?

23) Why do we use the tennis strings in a tennis racket?

24) Why do you usually have the main(longer) strings broken?

25) Why is a tennis racket(9-12 ounce) heavier than a tennis ball(2 ounce) by a factor 5-6?

26) Why is it the key for a good shot to plant a back foot solidly on the ground?

27) Why do people say that you need swing a racket with legs?

28) Why do you need hit up a tennis ball in service and overhead?

29) Why can the quality of your second serves show your tennis skill level?

30) Why is it difficult to realize the (in)consistency of any tennis skill with statistics?

31) Why can a tennis ball roll on a tennis court? Tennis ball can not roll inside a space shuttle in the orbit.

32) Why is the maximum speed of the first serve decided only by the height of a player?

(3 mph/(inch difference) for women’s pro tennis players.)

Please send me more questions, comments, and answers. Thank you.

As a team, we lost in the 1^st round of the BVAL play-off against Pioneer at Leland on Oct. 28^th(Thurs) with 2-5, (singles 0-4, doubles 2-1). So our team match is over in this season.

Team Standing in BVAL West Valley

Points to improve for more enjoyment

Any tennis player enjoys more with more skills and hence more options to hit balls. With more options to choose, you can develop mental department of the tennis which gives you more fun.

I’ll post more comments are on team players. Please remember that in tennis, it takes at least a few months to get used to any minor technical changes, only changes in mental department can be instantaneous if a player can recognize/analyze the reality, which may often takes months and years.
