that sh*t is HARD. :wow: I've played a few times...

Only thing I can do even a quarter of the way decently, was serve. And by "serve" I mean just geting the ball across the net, not necessarily into the box.

Hitting it back after someone else hits it to you had me like :snoop:
I kept hitting it over the top of the fence or just missing it altogether.

And that's not even taking into acccount the endurance aspect.

Tried it last year for the first time, shyt was tough for me. Coming from a heavy baseball/softball background, I can't help but swing upward. End up hitting the balls right over and out of the fenced court :laff:

My buddy could only give me the :snoop:

But when I wouldn't fukk up and we got some good rallies going it was pretty fun :yes:

He hasn't asked me to join him this year though :dead:

Any sports is hard at first.. :yeshrug:



I think Tennis is more about form that anything else. And you even occasionally see the pros hit the ball improperly and it doesnt get across the net. And they've done it a zillion times.

Instructor made me have to practice against him instead of the other classmates :pacspit:

He was trying all these tricky spin shots on me but my blackleticism was too much for him. Serve and volleyed that nikka off the court :lolbron:
