Anyone know how to get in touch with this person - he makes custom rackets out of New York?

Yeah hockeyscout...people die. The virus has taken its toll in the nursing homes. Many old people...people that may pass within a year. So it's a disease. I play golf with the head of infectious diseases and he assured me that it isn't something you want to go out of your way to get. Some are having a horrible experience before surviving. But death is a fact of life. My father had a two word game he played with anyone willing to play. What are the two most important words in language? What do you think hockeyscout? What are the two most important words?Originally posted by hockeyscout View Post
Here's an interesting movie. "Death Takes a Holiday"...Yvette Mimieux. People have always died. It's a fact of life. No one here gets out alive.
Sweden has not gotten off Scott free. Even the George Floyd fallout has reached these shores. Suddenly America is under siege! The hate is palpable. The left has declared war! Nothing will appease them now.
Hope that your not so little one is lighting it up. Good luck!Comment

Two words - don't know - you tell me?Comment

BTW - the "little one" has been playing men, men and more men and not getting much of a chance to shine. We went back to the one handed backhand - you'd like her simple classic stroke.Comment

Extraordinary news! My advice is ALWAYS develop the good sound slice first and continually work on the drive. But prioritise the slice. As you know hockeyscout...in all of sports it is best defence that invariably wins in the end. In the beginning and forever thereafter...play the backhand with tactics in mind. Good sound defence at all times and tactical aggression whenever possible. You will find that the backhand will be played more and more aggressively with time. It can be very frustrating to play against such sound and reliable defence.Originally posted by hockeyscout View Post
But the one handed backhand opens the door to aggressive play at the net and a means to get there in the approach game. I like your decision process as the herd goes in one direction. The means to beating every single unit in that herd is in the road less traveled. As you know my "Living Proof" of my paradigm in tennis coaching is Roger Federer. The Federer backhand is a single extraordinary case in point. In his comeback since the equipment change it has been his drive backhand that has gotten most of the attention but it is his slice that he invariably falls back on when push comes to shove. It is the slice that he uses patiently to open up the court and to force his opponent to do something that they find themselves not wanting to do. Above all...Roger is clever. A clever boy. And it is the slice that exhibits his cleverness best of all.
The aggression of your girl's game will without a doubt come from the forehands side which will be relentless first...but keeping always in mind the ability to play defence and tactically. The huge defining factor will be the serve...and that will require a perfectly frictionless motion without a single hint of a hitch.
Best of luck!Comment
