Tennis

Does anybody here play Tennis?
I'm not a big fan, but several of my friends are on the school team/play recreationally, so I tag along sometimes. It's fun, but I suck.
Its realy fun!
I've been playing for around six years, if not more. It's really fun~~~
I'm quite good at tennis, I've been playing since I was about 8

=P used to teach kids from 4-12 part time during holz.
I play for my high school varsity team, but I started about a year ago. So far I think its really fun.
that's good =P any specialties you have yet?

I wouldn't call mine a specialty rather than a preference, but I like to use heavy top spin then a curve/drop shot like slice.
yeah i love using topspin too

but serving is where its at
Hah, my specialty is a slice serve =P
Please, it's called the spoon serve.
LOL my bad, my bad.

8D can you do that really troll volley?

EDIT: the one where you make the ball bounce back over the net.
Honestly, I think I'm a beast at net xD
My serves are getting faster and more accurate, but I need to practice more.
i play tennis 6 times a week,11h in total and i am 10 years old and playing for 5 years my forhand is my killer shot.

awesome! I've always been a base line to servus line player myself. I tend to do a lot of jump shots so I'm ok at the net for doubles =p

I also have long arms, but I, as well as my friends, think that it helps me at net. I'm also pretty tall, which also helps.

Its prety hard to do that
Wut tennis racket u guys have I have babolat
This will be my 4th (and last) year of high school varsity tennis. Tennis is pretty fun, and I like to think that I'm good at it, but my competitiveness in the game has been dropping since Freshman year. I play much better when I'm screwing around.

I thought that everyone plays with heavy topspin? That might just be something that we crazy Americans believe in.

Prince FTW!

My specialty shot is the Twist Serve. (Prince of Tennis moment)

I have "meh" backhands and good forehands.
