A cloudy day, with the same gang.
I serve first and won it easily. Can’t say it’s a good serving day: still tray but no doubles. As usual, some of my serves have pops. My tosses are high and worked well for me.

Red Army 5:1 ice hockey
5:1 what a win! The first goal here; and the Red Army made the playoffs, congratulations boys!
In this league, each of the 3 periods lasts only 12 minutes, NY generally 15, while the pro leagues 20 minutes. All went smoothly, except one collision.
The green Hornets team before them has a mom: way to go, lady!
This TGH site has a full bar Top Shelf Sports Lounge or Power Play Grill & Sports Bar (?), therefore imposing the beer captain system: within the team, players rotate as the buyer of the beer for that week. Usually 2-3 can per mate.
Dinner at Columbia is wonderful.
他们的比赛节次时间是12 分钟. 长岛15; 职业是20.
好久没来看家属的(红队). 他们之前的绿队有个中年女. 有段时间俺还真想过. 明智没染上这恶习. 虽然一般比滑雪近 但服装道具超多. 除了慢,俺看不出和职业队有啥不同 ok just kidding.
我戏称他们是四喜联盟: 因这个冰场规定 每个队的球员轮流做啤酒队长 负责买, 赛完喝.
– 打球
– 喝酒
– 聊吹
– 看球
队长70有加: 打的津津有味 带的有板有眼
不比真不知外面的世界
A Slinger morning
A gorgeous morning. It feels right from the get-go
However, my serve is entirely a different story.
Can’t get rid of waiter tray!
My forehand and backhand need to hit early, which is to hit on the rise.
My habit, however, is hitting when the ball is going down, which needs to be changed.
- one serve motion that looks right – birds in the sky
- the warm-up
- I hit my phone
- forehand
A comment to the following backhand video:
Correct: your grip and backswing is ok and you stepped into the ball ok (although the double hander can be played open stance with good hip rotation).
Could be better: with the time you had I would rather see you come another step forward and hit the ball on the rise or the top of the bounce. You lose a lot of power and spin by letting the ball drop.
You’re a touch slow to meet the ball and with an open face. You are giving away power with that swing. Most players with two handed backhands hit a lot of flat balls but just close the face a touch, hit a little earlier and you’ll find more power and more topspin to keep it in.
Otherwise, it’s a good backhand and I like your footwork.
6-4, 6-4
No earth shattering revelation. Coach and I won 4 and 4 over Craig and Joel.
The second set we were leadng 4-0, then 4-4. Oh well.
We’ve three players for this clinic, so we played dobules.
