A NEW EXTREME CHALLENGE

The deal for the next 5 month is, to run my brothers computer store. I have run for 6 years an Internet Café and do all the repairs, but this is nowhere near to what we do in Canada.  Every day different computers and problems. In the Internet Café we just rebuilt the same machines. But in this store, there are 1000’s of little details and KNOW HOW I need. Rebuilding a machine is simple. But here costumers want information about each individual item and all it’s variations. Repairing here takes a whole new dimension , I know not much about. So I am rather nervous, excited also , but there is a ton of KNOW HOW I have to acquire quick.

WOW THE WHOLE LINE UP WAS HEAD LIGHT

Tomorrow I will fly out to Canada. But today I had a chance to look at different sizes of the KFactor Blade.  I am so pumped to get my hands on these racquets. Nearly all the racquets I touched are not head heavy. The head when balanced at the throat with the index finger is about at the 2 o’clock position.  I just love the feel of the swing when playing a head light racquet and volleying is just so much more fun. Now over the next 2 weeks I will check the line up of models from the suppliers in China. But first comes my Brothers store, which I have to take over and run for 5 month.

ANOTHER BROKEN STRING

Today my Head Synthetic gut with Duraflex broke. I stringed it to 60 lbs , which is the max with this Mach3 Wilson Frame.  The string only lasted 2.5 weeks. I am a little disappointed that she broke that fast. Next week I will return to Canada, so I guess Tennis will get a brake. Hope I get one more opportunity to look at the Wilson racquet line up in Cebu.

Doubles Win Percentage still high

Still happy about my progression. Doubles has always been good to me. I win about 8 out of 10 Doubles matches, but don’t keep a record like I do for my Singles matches. This week I have played a few matches on clay. The ball sits up a lot and your volley tends to lack pace. Your really need to focus on good volley execution or the opponent can get to it. You also have to pick your poaching spots accurately, as the ball will sit up longer and gives the opponent more time to respond and to deal with poaching. Your really need to focus on reading the shoulder and hip positions of your opponent correctly

SURRENDER AT 5:2

My practice is paying off.  I was very kaput these past 2 days and trying to play from the baseline is a very important issue.  Siegfried is a singles player and does not enjoy playing doubles. So when I am there like this morning, than we play singles.

I played not that well, but I played him from the baseline. Kind of strange when u start playing form the baseline instead of serve and volley and a charging game. You become so much pickier in what you consider to be a good attack shot to approach to the net.

I am still very nervous when playing from the Baseline. Maybe that all is created from the lack of real practice to sort out the aspects of baseline playing.

Siegfried, like everyone else here, lacks stamina. But that is not the case in North America.  I am looking forward to train with a ball machine.

15 MINUTES TO REMEMBER. THE HIT ZONE

In the last two days we really focus on improving the backhand. Tendency is to hit far more forehand than backhand. It is important therefore to create focus training for the backhand.

Yesterday I experienced an amazing 15 minutes. After having hit already for over one hour the backhand, I ended up, all of a sudden, in a hitting zone. No matter what situation I was in, my backhand was always ready and centered. I could hit it anywhere, from any postion, low or high and it would always stay in the court.

Once you experience that, everything within is searching to get back into this hitting zone. The feeling is just so amazing when it happens.

DOWN THE LINE, A MUST FOR YOUR GAME

The down the line shot is a crucial aspect of your game. Without it, you can neither open up the court nor can you hold the opponent to the last moment.

You are considerably more predictable in your shot selection with out it. Once your down the line shot develops, you will see right away, that your opponent will have to honor that, by stepping closer to that side.

The court is so short, that there is really no alternative than to get closer to the down the line side of the court. For you a chance to hold him there and only at the last moment pull the trigger to go crosscourt. One you done that a few time, you will than reverse, indicating to go cross court , but pull at the last moment the down the line.

Make sure you don’t over hit, but get it in there. Let him worry about, how to get that down the line shot back.

ANOTHER 8:0 MATCH WIN IN THE BANK

Again the score looks very one sided. Maybe it is. It is difficult to evaluate one self.

But for me 2 things are standing out, for improvement. I have to loose my tense attitude, which has a negative impact on my stroke. And I need to calm more down when I hit from the base line. 


I missed a few over the shoulder volleys and need to correct that. But I also feel that the racquet is part of that solution. A head heavy racquet is for me, not a good volley racquet. The whole issues of accelerating and slowing down the racquet head is at the net even more critical.


Although at the net we are not in a full stroke situation, but in a serve and volley game, you whole body is in forward motion and there is an acceleration and slowing down of the racquet head involved. When you respond to high balls traveling at shoulder height, reaching you with in a fraction of time, your racquet head has to rise to that height also in a fraction of a second and still has to have time left to prepare for impact.


A head heavy racquet takes significantly longer to elevate. Another form of acceleration, vertical in this case. Naturally at the same moment a head heavy racquet will drop faster to a low volley, but the critical aspect in the low volley is not the racquet, it is your knee bend action.
If your knees don’t give in enough, the ball will sit low on the low side of the head and is very difficult to lift the ball with effectiveness over the net.

I will try to talk next time about the importance of practicing the down the line shot execution.

 

MY MATCH RECORD GOES TO  WINS:  15:3    GAMES: 140:84

FINALLY 8:0 WIN IN THE BANK. OPPONENT SURRENDERS AT 5:2 IN THE SECOND SET TO 8

Was it ever hot already at 8 am  in the morning.  There is not much to report. I was tired and stayed back. We had already been hitting for 2 hours when the opponent arrived. This opponent should never been able to mount a serious challenge.

After an 8:0 set he asked to my surprise to add another set. But now it is already past 8 and the heat is scorching here in the Philippines. He surrendered, being behind 5:2 to the Heat.

If I look past the result, I can still observe, to my concern, that I am way to tense and that my high expectations stand in the way of my hitting skills.

Don’t really know jet how I will fix that, to free up my swing and overall game. I also need to deal with the over head shots sooner or later. Certainly my weakness.

MY MATCH RECORD GOES TO  WINS:  14:3    GAMES: 132:84

TAKING A FIRST LOOK AT THE WILSON KFACTOR RACQUETS

I had to go to Cebu anyway to restring my Wilson Mach 3 with a better synthetic gut from HEAD. So I took the opportunity to look at the Wilson line up they had there. 

Basically 4 racquets: 

1. Roger Federer’s last year racquet the K Six One Tour with 90”.  He is identical n weight to this Wilson March 3 (112”) 325 grams.
But what a stunning balance. The Head is at the 2 o’clock position. Quite contrary to the 5 o’clock position of this one. When balancing on the throat with the index finger.  I can only wonder in anticipation how it must be to volley and come through the ball.

2. KFactor Zen (103”) Not my kind of racquet. Don’t like the form and the thickness in the front end of the racquet.

3. K Factor 4 (112”) could be a good doubles choice, but I think the next racquet I saw is much more versatile. The main difference though it belongs to the ncode line.

4. Ncode (100”) I have to go back to check the exact name again. There are too many racquets in this line with nearly identical names. He was white and had a beautiful even head, with no excessive width in the heads thickness.The balance was a perfect neutral and he was light in the 285 gram area.

I will start soon another Blog where I will write about testing the Tennis racquets. Looks like we will set up for importing for the first time in early May.
