To improve my games: warm up, forehand, backhand, volley, overhead, lessons, w/ Slinger, and more
I’d a bad fall on 3.31. After getting over it, I decided to overhaul my game, starting from the serve. Here is my progress:
- tossing good, only in practice
- toss first @ Vintage
- 3 fingers & more
- 6-2, 1-6, 2-2 w/ Randy
- 2 serves 6-1, 6-0 Betty
- tray & 3 serves ace
- 9 serves – still tray!
- make the box & it works
- can’t serve!
- pronate, only in practice
- an orange sky
- morning moon & sandhill cranes
- a game: left arm isn’t up
- a blue day
- lesson #3: look up at the ball
- … continue
- feeling pretty good
- right wrist needs work
- elbows drop
- face the wall
- drop your arm
- lovey dovey #2
- 8-6, 3-2
- hair bang
- Gary and the no shows
- Brad, the new guy
- … very tired
- coach’s showing; his red & my blue sneakers
- waiter’s tray, still
- coach’s pointers
- left arm out
- feel good, Golfer
- no ball; dove IV
- practice & sets; dove III
- singles tourney doves II
- mourning doves, warm up
- feels good: grips
- 6-4, 6-0
- ace pic
- two herons
- a new visor
- my shoulder needs to turn
- Lesson #2: waiter’s tray!
- 3-6, 3-6 w/ golfer
- Overgrip all wrong
- 6-2, 6-2
- no double
- why fix it if it ain’t broke? 1 ace & 2 doubles
- the grip, per Cheri; waiter’s tray; 4 doubles
- leg work … Cheri
- David & Edwin
- Jay: Look up
- New motion is somewhat working
- evening session, arm up
- arm up
I practiced serve before the match today at VL, the match went
5-0
2-5
4-5
Served up a double that ultimately cost us the game. However, my forehand holds up just fine…
Most suggestions on my serve is grip (continental), toss (in more). So I went out and tried two days later (Thursday). Have I changed anything?
… and a few pix on Thursday, May 18.
A beautiful day playing at VL
