Question by Eclair: What workouts/drills or diets will give almost immediate results(month) for tennis?
Disregard my name because I am a guy lol….
I recently learned that tennis is starting at my school sooner that I originally thought and I am looking for things that I could do and begin seeing results within maybe a month or so…. anything will help …. My team does have a ball machine I am able to gain access to at anytime and any suggestions for use of it would be helpful since I usually only play one person.
More about me is that I play tennis a very lot and at my school I am considered good because I am most likely for first seed but where I live and who is on my team do not compare to many other highschools, I have a decent forehand, two hand back hand that needs work , and a serve that needs help from the gods.
I am limited to how many people I can play that are also good, our second seed is almost equal with me because we are always playing with each other and then there is one girl that is decent on the girls team…. any suggestions for this would help as well.
Thank You so much!

Question by : What string type should I get? Should I just get a different racquet?
I am a sophomore in highschool currently and I just made it into Varsity this year. I just learned how to play tennis a year ago and I got put in JV. I was a beginner, didnt know anything about tennis so I chose a random racquet and decided to go with it, and I ended up getting a Wilson K Factor Zen Team FX 103. I came a long way from where I used to be and I dont know if this racquet is for me. I have played with this racquet for a year, and I am comfortable with it. Now, I can hit a fairly powerful forehand, and can slice really well. However, i recently palyed with my friend and tried his racquet and I could slice sooooo much easier with his racquet. I played with another friend of mine’s racquet and his racquet hit really powerful (more than mine). Which got me to wonder, is this racquet for me? Or should I just get different strings?
Extra Info:
Controll or Power: Controll.
Heavy or Light: Definently not Light. I prefer medium but ive never played with a Heavy racquet before so i dont know if ill be good at it, who knows?
Informatino on my Current Racquet:
http://tennis-racquet.pikimal.com/wilson-kfactor-kzen-teamfx-103-orange

Thank you for reading! Sorry it was so long :/

Answer by RICHARD E MARKS
You will be getting a lot of answers to this question with all sorts of people recommending this or that racquet. And they are recommending because they truly love that racquet.
But what racquet you want is up to you. Go to a decent tennis store and demo some racquets.
Now you are a young, growing kid. You will be growing a lot in the next few years and your racquet needs will change a lot. The KZen 103 is a great racquet for lower level players. But to get to the next level you need a racquet with a thinner more flexible frame and also need a heavier racquet so you can swing harder with more control. But which depends on you and on your budget.
There is a good web site – www.justtennis.net that has a lot of good lower price racquets.

Question by ♀Nya! I’m a kitty♥: How to get a guy you don’t know that well’s phone number?
I really like a guy that’s a grade older than me (I’m in 7th grade, 13, he’s in 8th.) He’s really popular, loves tennis, basketball, golf, and plays percussion drums. But He’s a real nice guy. I play guitar, sing, draw, played tennis, I want to learn basketball, and I tolerate golf

Answer by Maddie Something
It’ll be creepy if you got it off someone and started texting him or something.
Get to know him a bit more.
Ask for his phone number.
Or talk to him through IM/facebook chat/whatever
Say you gotta go in the middle of conversation
Ask for his number to continue the conversation

Question by jennainhiding: Should I have back surgery or work on weight loss or get the corti shots?
My back pain first started 7 years ago. I was playing racquetball for the first time in life (though I played tennis and other sports), and I quickly learned that I could not play for more than 3-8 minutes. I would attempt to return a serve and suddenly my back would lock it up. It would take forever to walk across the campus, the pain was very intense, and I would be half paralyzed. Anyway, I stopped playing. The pain and lock-ups came now and then over the years. At some points in time, I would literally be unable to move, except by dragging my body along the floor with the strength of my arms. I’ve been bedridden for 3 days at a time. Anyway, a year ago, I finally went to the doctor. I have a pinched nerve and a ton of arthritis (more than the doc has ever seen in patients 2x my age). He suggested a corti shot, and/or back surgery. The surgeon he sent me to was a joke, I never did get the shot. I’ve been on pain-killers for the past year now – I stopped taking the
Anti-inflammatory meds shortly after being on them. I do not like putting drugs into my body, and after being dependent on the pain-killers for nearly 3 months, I finally cut down on those and rarely use them now. Anyway, several ppl have told me to get the shot. Others swear by the surgery. I believe that if I lost weight and strengthened my back muscles
And, I am 5’4 with an extra 100 pounds at a whopping 230 pounds

Answer by oddball59
If you are overweight….I would take the diet option first. Your pain will be significantly reduced. Also I would ask for a cortisone injection as they are really effective for pain relief. They do hurt as they go in but the relief can last a good length of time and these can be repeated. At least these injections would help you to get through till you lose some weight.
Arthritis is a crippling pain so I really empathize with you.
I hope you get some relief soon.
Best wishes
