Playing on Grass Courts
I recently had the opportunity of playing on a grass court in Palm Springs, California and was surprised how low the ball bounces on these courts. I could not even bounce the ball on my service motion. See video below of me playing and not being able to do my regular service motion. I am wondering if anyone of you had the same experience playing on grass courts or it was just the courts in Palm Springs. Even though I lost this point, I won the set easily just by volleying on every second shot I played. Playing with a prostaff 85 made the experience even more sweeter!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfRJ8W0q8Ig P.S. Sorry about the grainy video. Not sure why the quality decreased after uploading to youtube. |
I've played on grass courts in England. Slices are almost ungettably low. However, if the grass is at all damp and slick (as it almost always is in rainy old England), movement is really scary. You can't push off in a normal way without feeling like you are going to pull or rip some muscle.
Man I wish I could regularly play on that kind of grass surface, maybe then my one-grip continental game combined with my aggressive nature to rush the net at every opportunity would be an advantage. :-P
I've played on grass only two or three times at Longwood. I had a manager that had a membership there and he invited me to play there a few times in the 1980s.
As mentioned before, bouncing before the serve too many times wasn't recommended as you could wind up chasing the ball. Sometimes you'd bounce the ball and a bunch of flies would come out of the ground and you basically hit the ball and rushed to the net to avoid the bad bounces. I used a continental grip back then which was fine for handling the low bounces. |
Playing on good, well manicured grass courts is a lot of fun--I like it, a lot. Playing on bad grass courts is a challenge. I played on those same grass courts in your video for a tournament a few years back and they played well as they had been prepared for tournament play. In your video the grass looks pretty long (great for your lawn, not so good to play tennis on). I remember visiting some students of mine in Vancouver, Canada. They had arranged for us to play on a private grass court and when we arrived the owner was exhausted because he had spent the entire morning mowing, rolling, and lining the court getting it ready for us to play. But he did it well. Grass courts take a lot of maintenance, which is why they so rare these days. Again, grass court tennis on a well prepared court is really fun and a good test of your racquet skills. I've had some of my best, and worst, experiences on the various grass courts I've played on--but more good than bad by far. I would tell anyone to never pass up the chance to play on grass, for no other reason than to get you out of your comfort zone--but you never know how long they'll be around. And BTW, you can bounce the ball on a well prepared grass court.
Love grass. Easy on the legs and feet...unless you slip and fall.
Tennis is made for grass. I love it. Where I am, most courts are grass.
I know people find it faster, but for some reason I feel I have more time available to me with my strokes. The ball seems to sit right in my hitting zone. The whole game is so much easier. Playing shots at waist height as opposed to the higher bounce on hardcourts, its heaven. Easier on the legs too. I could play all day... Plus in the heat of summer its so much cooler. And it compliments my net rushing style of play. Grass for the win. |
Get low!
This video sums up one of the most critical elements to grass court Lawn Tennis play. |
Grass takes practice!!
I always played on hard and grass - each surface needs a change in mindset. Wimbledon grass is different now. In the 'olden' days it would have played similar to your video but with a few less odd bounces (the courts are really looked after). When you have experienced 'true' grass you can start to really appreciate the skill of the 'masters generation' of players. Try to imagine how Borg went from playing on Clay to winning Wimbledon in the space of a month. I'd love to see old school grass or a similar playing surface introduced back onto the tour - it would make for different styles of play and (for me anyway) more interesting match ups. |
I'm envious of you guys. I wish I can play on grass.
The last time I played on grass the ball kept low but really slowed on the bounce - perhaps because it was kept fairly long. Really screwed up my timing.
I've never really been at home on the stuff. Partly because of my style of play. But also because everybody who keeps grass courts thinks their courts are brilliant, but they're usually terrible. Playing tennis on bad grass courts ceases to be sport. |
i grew up playing on grass soo much better than hardcourt during the aus summer.
Agree with all your points though. I have a feeling I could defeat some players above my rating on a grass court, because it suits my style. |
Im with you. I reckon I rate 0.5 higher on grass than on hard courts. Dont know about clay, cos theres not much here.
I think its much easier to pick up the game on grass. The whole game just feels easier. Just my opinion. Ive been playing for a year and things just seem to be more natural on grass. Im in Perth, Western Australia. An average club will normally have a ratio of about 3 grass courts to every 2 hard/artificial Id say. Might be more 50:50 these days actually. My own club for example had 18 grass courts and took out 6 and replaced them with hardcourts and lights. I dont get why grass courts are never installed with lights... |

A warning to anyone who plans on watching this. It works fine up until the final fifteen minutes when it goes all crazy and pixelated and then, when the picture returns to normal, it is COMPLETELY out of sync with the audio and remains like that for the rest of the movie. Just a heads up because it was pretty irritating to me.
And while I'm here I might as well point out that the movie itself is god awful, so... watch at your own risk, lol. That is all. |

COLUMBIA — Dwight Tyrell Hayes told police that he was merely a lookout for another man who robbed and killed the general manager of a Clark Lane hotel. He called the man "C.J."
But during testimony Wednesday in Boone County Circuit Court, "C.J." dissolved into thin air as testimony from a Columbia police detective and another witness suggested a second man never existed.
Hayes, 21, didn't take the stand in his own defense for second-degree murder, first-degree robbery and armed criminal action in the slaying of Cynthia White, 55, on Nov. 24, 2007.
But in statements to police, Hayes said a man named Charles Jones, whom he also called "C4," from Jefferson City was the gunman in White's slaying. Though a man of that name and city does exist, it is by chance because Hayes randomly came up with both, according to prosecution witnesses.
In a conversation between Hayes and his stepmother, Deidra Hayes, recorded while he was in the Boone County Jail, Hayes said, "There was never no C.J." However, in the same recording, played for the jury, Hayes insisted that there was another person involved in the shooting but refused to identify him.
Columbia police detective Joseph Jackson testified that a Jefferson City man named Charles Jones was interviewed about the crime but was eliminated as a suspect. Jones was never arrested or charged in connection with the crime.
With no evidence of another shooter, Hayes' Public Defender Kevin O'Brien took another tack. He questioned Jackson about Hayes' treatment in the eight hours after Hayes was arrested. In particular, he asked about the room's temperature because Hayes' clothes were taken when he was questioned, and he was wearing only a paper suit.
O'Brien asserted that Hayes "made a statement that conformed to what police wanted him to say." When O'Brien suggested that detectives were looking for their own version of the truth, Jackson said he recognizes truth, "kind of in your gut — also, matching evidence and statements up."
The defense only called two witnesses, Columbia Police Detective Bryan Liebhart and Officer Tim Timmerman, before resting its case.
Earlier in the day, the prosecution introduced as evidence two weapons — a small caliber handgun and a stun gun. According to testimony, two sets of fingerprints were found on the handgun: Hayes' and those of his cousin, Orlando Collier.
When O'Brien suggested that Collier might have been the actual gunman, Liebhart told O'Brien that the presence of Collier's fingerprints was consistent with the story Hayes told police, that he'd asked Collier to hide the gun for him.
Collier is not charged in the case but has a preliminary hearing on Friday for tampering with physical evidence in a felony prosecution.
In earlier testimony, Boone County Deputy Medical Examiner Eddie Adelstein said that White had been Tasered before she was killed.
White was burned and bruised on her lower right forearm — wounds consistent with a direct-contact Taser, Adelstein testified. White's attacker used the stun gun from a close distance to immobilize her before killing her, he testified.
Adelstein said he concluded that White died from a gunshot to the face between her nose and lip where the gun was 1 inch to 18 inches away.
Two Columbia police officers testified about evidence found at the hotel where White was killed and the house where Hayes was arrested that suggested he'd used a stun gun. Officer Jim Watson testified that he found two batteries and a piece of black plastic at the scene of the crime. Detective Jeff Nichols testified that he found a stun gun that was missing batteries and a piece of plastic similar to the one found at the crime scene while searching the residence at 1812 McKee St. where Hayes was arrested.
In earlier testimony, the victim's son, Ernest White, told the jury about a series of text messages he and his mother exchanged on the night she was killed.
Visibly upset, especially when asked how he knew the victim, Ernest White said he texted his mother about a ring he saw around the moon that night.
"She liked looking at stars and stuff," he said.
His mother texted back that she couldn't remember the explanation her father had given for the moon ring, so she looked up the phenomenon on the Internet in the hotel office. She texted back that the ring was caused by ice crystals that reflect light off of the moon, he said.
"Thanks, you're a lot of help," he said he texted back upon receiving her answer.
The last message his mother sent back at 1:36 a.m. said, "Go to bed and get some sleep."
It was the last time he communicated with his mother, who was found dead after guests at the hotel became concerned when calls to the front desk went unanswered. Hayes was arrested the next day after a CrimeStoppers tipster identified him in surveillance video taken from the Hampton Inn during an earlier burglary on Nov. 13. He is scheduled to be tried on the burglary charge on July 1.
In April, Hayes pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery, forcible sodomy, forcible rape, four counts of armed criminal action, first-degree robbery and first-degree tampering in connection with the rape and sodomy of a clerk at the same hotel on Nov. 15. The hotel was called the Fairfield Inn at that time.
Hayes' murder trial resumes Thursday at 8:30 a.m. with closing statements, after which the jury will deliberate. The all-white jury is made up of eight men and six women.

PARIS, Monday—Two of the items that are coming up before the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations, on which I work, are the report on the Children's Emergency Fund and the resolution passed by the Economic and Social Council on the United Nations Appeal for Children.
I find great confusion in the minds of many people about these two matters, and I think it is very important that the difference between them be clearly understood so that we all know exactly what has been done and what will be done under certain circumstances.
Let me first take up the Children's Emergency Fund.
This fund grew out of the fact that when the UNRRA came to an end there was great concern about what would happen to many children throughout Asia and Europe who would be cut off from UNRRA supplies.
Here was one field in which the victims of war were not responsible for their country's political or economic beliefs. They had nothing to do with the causes of war. Their sufferings were the result of the war, but they were the innocent and helpless victims. Whether they were found in Roumania, lying in hospital wards unable to move because of famine in certain provinces, or whether they were in Greece, Italy, Yugoslavia, Germany or France, these children needed food and medical attention.
The Children's Emergency Fund was therefore set up in the hope that it would receive some of the UNRRA funds during the latter's period of dissolution and in the hope that the governments of the various countries, while they were doing all they could for their own children, also would make a contribution to be used for needy children everywhere.
It has been found that often governments on the receiving end of the fund's supplies would make a contribution in kind. For instance, if a country had a surplus of sugar or cotton it would make a shipment of one of these items in return for powdered milk, cod liver oil and anti-tuberculosis serum.
The sums of money that have been appropriated to the Children's Emergency Fund have meant that only a small amount of relief could be given. But even this small relief has meant a great deal and the fund's committee has envisaged research clinics that would make it possible to study the present problems of children and new and cheap foods and preventatives for disease. Someday these clinics should be situated in various parts of the world and make a very great contribution to the welfare of children. At present the main work has been to supplement what food the countries themselves could furnish their own children and to portion it out on a basis of need, using all possible existing agencies at work in the field for purposes of distribution. The organization itself now has only a very small supervisory, travelling personnel, with its main work being done through government committees in countries where the aid is given.
I recall a question being raised in our Congress as to whether this food was given to countries behind the Iron Curtain and in Russian satellite countries. I think whoever brought it up surely was not intending to suggest that many children should be left to starve and suffer because their governments held political beliefs with which we could not agree.
From my point of view, this fund, which may recieve contributions not only from governments but from private organizations and individuals, should receive all the support we can possibly give it. I would like to see a coordinate and concerted drive in our country next year so that private gifts as well as government funds would be turned over to the Children's Emergency Fund.
The United Nations Appeal for Children is an entirely different set-up. This organization was conceived by Dr. Aake Ording, of Norway who suggested that people all over the world should be asked to give one day's pay once a year for the relief of children of all nations, with some of the funds also going to the Children's Emergency Fund or other agencies working in the field for the same end.
Dr. Ording's idea appealed to the General Assembly, and a resolution was passed, setting up a small organization in the Secretary General's office to coordinate and stimulate campaigns to be carried on in the different countries and to furnish them with information that would be helpful in their initial appeals. This organization was started and succeeded very well in some countries, such as Australia, moderately well in others and very badly in still others, notably the United States where the drive was made in connection with other overseas aid agencies and fell very far short of its goal.
At the last meeting of the Economic and Social Council a resolution was passed to bring this appeal to an end this coming January, so far as the responsibility of the Secretary-General's office was concerned, but to encourage individual nations to continue their efforts to help the Children's Emergency Fund.
The question is now before this current General Assembly meeting as to whether to sustain this resolution or to change its policy and extend the life of the United States appeal.
Australia, which had such a very successful campaign, feels this fund-raising drive had great value in acquainting the people with something actually tangible undertaken by the United Nations. It brought the average person closer to the world organization. The feeling of the United States is that it is a mistake to burden the Secretary-General's office with an organization that can never be adequate enough really to watch over what is done in each nation.
Fundamentally, there seems to be a question as to whether there is a valid reason why one appeal should be put forth under the name of the United Nations when there are so many other important causes that perhaps should also demand the respect and consideration and prestige of a United Nations appeal. We believe more money would be raised if every nation were responsible for its own fund and was able, if it wishes to set a quota, to use it in its own country, giving a certain percentage to the Children's Emergency Fund of the United Nations.
In this way a nation's own children would benefit along with children of other countries that might not be able to raise sufficient funds. For example, fund-raising drives might be called the Haitian Appeal for Children or the Belgian Appeal for Children, which would include a domestic interest and still serve the purpose of interesting people in the United Nations, since one of its main objectives would be to furnish funds for children in need throughout the world.

Research InterestsMy research interests cover a wide range of topic some of which are relatively basic such as Direct Methods, Surface Structures, and Density Functional Theory while others such as Hip Replacements, Environmental Catalysis, and Tribology have a stronger eye on applications; see the Projects link on the left for more details. Much of the fundamental work involves combining cutting-edge variants of electron microscopy in a unique combination of an electron microscope and surface science system so we can combine more standard surface science probes, such as XPS or Auger, and chambers where samples are grown, all within one unique UHV system. Current projects include: Oxide SurfacesAt the current moment it is very hard to predict the structure of oxide surfaces; this is an important problem because these are very important in a large number of different areas ranging from catalysis through new types of oxide devices and corrosion. We are exploiting both our direct methods approach as well as careful electron microscopy to understand the atomic scale structures.
Hip ReplacmentsProsthetic implantation is one of the most successful treatments for patients with severe arthritis or rheumatism; it is the difference between a wheelchair and a normal life. As of 2003, more than 200,000 total hip replacement operations were performed annually in the US, and this number is expected to reach 572,000 by 2030. The bearing surfaces of current artificial hip replacements on the market are usually made out of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloys, ceramics (alumina) or ceramicized metals (e.g. oxygen diffusion-hardened ZrNb alloy). Unfortunately these materials are not perfect, and there are numerous problems. We are investigating the fundamentals of the metallurgy, tribology, corrosion as well as exploring some of the biological issues, in collaboration with scientists and physicians at Rush Orthopedics and elsewhere.
NanotribologyFriction is a pervasive problem, by some estimates consuming about 5% of the GDP of the economies of the developed world, and a recent analysis has indicated that about one third of the fuel energy in automobiles goes to overcoming frictional losses. While the importance of minimizing friction can be traced back at least as far as the tomb of Tehuti-Hetep, circa 1880 B.C, where a man can be seen pouring a lubricant to assist moving a statue, there are still many unknowns in the field of tribology which encompasses friction as well as other critical processes such as wear and lubrication. My interests lie in understanding the materials science of sliding at the nanoscale using both in-situ experimentation as well as theory.
Nanoparticles: Plasmonics, Catalysis, Fuel Cells and FundamentalsWhile nanoparticles have been a popular topic for the last decade, there is still much we do not understand particularly about how the shape matters for the properties both for plasmonic properties as well as catalysis and many other applications. My interests are to marry the materials science with the properties in a range of areas.
Density Functional TheoryMy group extensively uses Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations to understand surface structures. In addition, I have an interest in the development of algorithms and methodologies to calculate properties faster and more accurately, and do much of the algorithm development and coding myself in my "spare time".

Metallurgical education partnership (MEP) - An industry supported national collaborative initiative
Churach, D. and Smith, N. (2011) Metallurgical education partnership (MEP) - An industry supported national collaborative initiative. AusIMM Bulletin, 2 (April). pp. 44-45.
The higher education arm of the Minerals Council of Australia, the Minerals Tertiary Education Council (MTEC), and three universities formed the Metallurgical Education Partnership (MEP) in 2007 to create industry-relevant collaborative education projects in metallurgy. MEP's first collaborative project, the Process Design Project (PDP), is now in its fourth year. The aim of PDP is to give final year extractive metallurgy and chemical engineering students in-depth experiences working in teams to design a mineral processing plant using real, live industry data. A key component of the PDP project is a week-long introductory workshop conducted at the beginning of second semester and attended by all student participants. The aim of this intensive, workshop include providing students technical information about the commodity being considered and the design process in general. Online student surveys and interviews have provided baseline data related to the student experiences of PDP during the initial three years of the program.

All my working life I have been puritanical about conserving my energy for whatever show I'm appearing in. Strangely, when I started playing Fraulein Schneider in the musical Cabaret in 2006, this changed. You would have thought I needed, at my age, to conserve my energy to sing and dance, but I took to going out a lot with the company.

Decision on the remaining 15 seats to be decided by the Screening Committee
The Central Election Committee of the Congress chaired by party president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday cleared the names of 55 candidates, including 41 sitting MLAs, for the upcoming elections to the 70-member Delhi Assembly. It left the decision on the remaining 15 seats to the six-member Screening Committee comprising Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president J. P. Agarwal among others.
Party sources said all the names were discussed at length in the three-hour meeting of the CEC, which comprises Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, vice-president Rahul Gandhi, A.K. Antony, Ahmed Patel, Ambika Soni, Janardhan Dwivedi, M.L. Fotedar, Mohsina Kidwai, Oscar Fernandes, M. Veerappa Moily, Mukul Wasnik, Dr. Girija Vyas, and B.K. Handique.
At the CEC meeting, it was decided that the party would field 41 of its sitting MLAs. With this the party has ended speculation about continuing with some of those MLAs and Ministers, who as per the party surveys, were not expected to fare well this time. However, with the BJP already announcing the names of 62 of its candidates, the job of the CEC in matching the strength of its candidates against the Opposition had become easier.
The names of two MLAs which have been kept pending are new entrant Mohammad Asif from Okhla, who had won the by-election on a Rashtriya Janata Dal ticket, and Dayanand Chandela from Rajouri Garden, who was earlier with the BJP and had joined the Congress prior to the 2008 Assembly elections. Both these MLAs are named in criminal complaints and the CEC left it to the Screening Committee to take a final call on their candidature.
Incidentally, Ms. Dikshit has made it clear that she was in favour of giving tickets to these two candidates as there are only complaints against them and they have not been convicted of any crime. She has also insisted that their affidavits are before the Election Commission and it had also not found anything wrong with their candidature in the past.
As for the remaining 14 seat which have been cleared, party sources said the names would be formally announced either on Sunday evening or Monday. "The Screening Committee would again sit on Sunday to discuss the remaining 15 seats, for which the candidates are yet to be identified. We hope to complete this exercise by Sunday evening so that all the names can be announced together,'' said a senior leader.

BERLIN (September 3, 2009) photos by Photo Wende - King Arthur Abraham presented his new fortress to the German media today as he welcomed dozens of reporters to a packed press conference at the o2 World in Berlin, Germany´s most modern arena. The 29-year-old, who is unbeaten in 30 fights (24 KOs), will take on Jermain Taylor (28-3, 17 KOs) in the opening clash of the hotly-anticipated Super Six World Boxing Classic on Saturday, October 17, on SHOWTIME® (8 p.m. ET/PT). For me two dreams are coming true at the same time, King Arthur said. Participating in the Super Six tournament is very special. It is the best against the best. And I always wanted to fight in front of a sell-out crowd of 12,000 fans at the o2 World in Berlin. I cannot wait to get in the ring with Jermain Taylor. I will not disappoint my fans. October 17 will be a night to remember. Six weeks before the start of the tournament, the German press is already debating the outcome of the Super Six World Boxing Classic, a competition they have dubbed The Champions League of Boxing. The tournament is a present to the fans, said Kalle Sauerland.. Abraham and Taylor are going to open the Super Six in style. I have no doubts that at the end of a memorable night, King Arthur will be leaving the ring as the winner. We could not have staged the first fight at a better venue than the o2 World, Germany´s top event arena. King Arthur has been working hard in practice with his coach Ulli Wegner, who certainly fancies his fighters chances in the tournament. This is something special for Arthur, he said. He is facing the worlds best fighters. For me, he is the favorite, but I have been reading a lot of stuff about him being smaller and thinner than his opponents. That does not matter inside the ring. Once Arthur has hit them, they will all have problems. Taylor better watch out. He is a great champion and a superb boxer, but Arthur will take care of business against him. The first fight is crucial to win. If Arthur succeeds, he can go a long, long way from there.

Hingham helped provide cleats for Nicaraguan children
The following excerpt comes from the Hingham Journal in Hingham, Massachusetts, and was originally published on December 1, 2011.I had always heard soccer called the Worlds game. In rural Nicaragua where Im serving as a Peace Corps volunteer the phrase has proven true. In a village suffering extreme poverty, its the only recreational activity and kids play every day, many without shoes, on a dirt field with broken glass, sharp rocks and donkey manure.
Last year I came up with the idea to collect soccer equipment from back home and provide it to kids playing in the village where I live. This year, with cleats and jerseys donated by the Hingham community Ive started the villages first girls soccer league, Ive launched the first Kickers team playing abroad and I helped a player from my community earn a spot on a professional soccer team.
My mother, Diana Clarke, past President of Hingham Youth Soccer (HYS), held the equipment drive in coordination with HYS and the PTOs of each of the public schools. In a few weeks we collected over 150 pairs of cleats and over 200 jerseys.
Hingham Youth Soccer, Peace Corps Nicaragua, the United States Embassy in Nicaragua, Eurosports Passback Program and the US Soccer Foundation all helped with shipping costs. It took months to coordinate and everything finally reached the community where Im serving this past summer.

Windows & Interoperability: Microsoft Raises Bing Bar Against Google
In addition to the other new features added to Bing on Dec. 2, Microsoft now offers the Bing Bar for Firefox and Internet Explorer. The downloadable application grafts a tool bar to your Web browser, allowing one-click access to various Bing features such as Shopping, Video, Web Search and Maps, as well as instant access to news, stocks, weather and Hotmail.
The Bing Bar also includes features such as Search Assist, which displays suggested searches when the user begins to type a term into the search bar, and Browse Plus, which alerts the user to breaking news in specific categories. Microsoft likely hopes that Bing Bar will help its search engine gain traction as it seeks to compete with Google in the search engine space.
