cont the off topic..holy moly..what a night, so crowded like i never seen before, nice meeting you dave, you are a great player!
What?! You've got to teach me how to make that "popping" sound when you hit the bird! Almost every shot you hit is a mini-explosion. wwcbro, if you're reading this, I have to apologize x1000 for clocking you at the net tap smashingbird: wwcbro tells me that if I hit someone (i.e. SMASH!!!) I have to buy them dinner, according to RBC guidelines. You HAVE to confirm this. I didn't read anything about this on their website In Victoria, I remember panhandle saying you actually get PAID for nailing someone. Why the discrepancy on the mainland? Thanks for making it a great drop-in at RBC! -dave
holy cow...the popping sound was my shoulder bones popping off. Tonite was a rare night of so many people showing up, maybe you can come thursday nite, it would be less people, hopefully. And yes, you got to buy wwcbro dinner for cleaning his clock. Since this club is a social club, it discourages any hitting opponent,parnters, swearing, ect. therefore there is a fine for hitting someone. I believe Panhandles is like an army type of playing, they encourage killing, hurting, ect.
I dont toss..but i spin the racket..if only when i'm playing on a matted floor. not on concrete floor .
Geez! You do it every time you lost a game?! Man, you must be rich to be able to afford that kind of attrition.
I've noticed I started to do the pendelum swing also. I don't know why, but it must be during slow/boring matches! Although a little bit different, I know a player who runs his fingernails across the strings *tingtingtingtingtingtingtingting* just before the server sets up to serve. Pending who's side you're on, it could get annoying! Cheers!
i spin the racquet to loosen up hand muscles, won't chuck it becuase i'd probably hurt someone. would do the blowing on grip and hand to dry them but i still think that looks funny
I toss my racket 360 or 720 degrees, catching it each time on the handle. I don't do it for any special reason, I just do it when I fee the time is "right".
a lot of people i know whack their rackets against their legs after a shot me? i twist the racket in my hand or do what you do, throw it into the hair 360. It's quite fun...
