12
tennis ball problem (A

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?

Player Records
Team Standing in BVAL Mt Hamilton Division
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.
