Have a Question for Me?

Jim,
Can't tell anything from that video.

Yeah, I can't find a good one so far. Keep your eyes open? Thx

[johnyandell]

Yeah well I doubt anyone out there is shooting 240fps.

Are all these people subscribers or are most spammer usernames? Just curious.

Yeah some are just purusing the Forum since we left in open to attrack subscribers others are probably spammers but for whatever reason they make minimal posts...

[stotty]

These spammers seem to be on the increase and invading quicker than the Taliban. Is there anything that can done about it or is it something the forum must live with?

I guess on the plus side they sometimes dig up old posts that are quite interesting to read though again.

Yes it was certainly good to see the ol Bottle thread resurrected ha. Welcome back to the Twilight Zone.

[johnyandell]

Ha!!

John,
How would you fix Harriet Dart’s serve?

[johnyandell]

Half to see it first in high speed video...

Interesting stuff on Jensen and coach Joseph Gilbert.

John, Would you explain your interpretation of "Shot Tolerance" for me/ the forum? Listening to Paul Annacone say that Jensen Brooksby has "high shot tolerance", I realized that people use the term differently.

Some seem to treat shot tolerance as a mere synonym for consistency. Others seem to be referring to the types or the quality of shot you can handle, i.e. he can return a high backhand. or he can handle a heavy forehand.

Any time I hear Annacone say something, I tend to pay attention. Wondering if there is more to it than I've realized. How/ if it relates to learning tennis.

Thanks in advance. / jim

Elliot Teltscher was the first one I heard use the phrase.

That's great! Thanks. Good explanation and good article. (Plus a Pim-Pim reference! While Teltscher says even Pim-Pim can't hit 48 winners, I'm not so sure. If I recall correctly Johannsen hit 51 aces vs Agassi in four sets -- and lost. I still say Pim-Pim was the best server I've ever seen -- on the two days a year he's healthy.

OK then if you say so. Can't say I agree.
