（谢谢Richard的帖子，没想到这么晚了我们还都在网上）

本次Tennis BBQ 定于
本月26日，周六，10：00am
monk球场集合，然后一起去angrignon公园烧烤，烧烤费用大家均摊。
希望有车的朋友开车来，自己行动方便一些，也可以给没开车的朋友提供一个方便。
没车的朋友，不用担心，我们保证座位供应。

请各位带好自己的拍子，酒足饭饱，如果有兴趣请挥拍上阵。
另外，本次活动前和BBQ其间，我建议大家考虑一下如下提案：

网球被认为是一项高雅，高尚甚至高级（在中国）的运动。
其实我更认为这是一项充满韵味又富含哲理的运动。
如果你喜欢她，就更需要你理解她。
网球既要动又要静，既要激情又要优雅，既要全力以赴又要把握分寸。
随着你对她的认识一天比一天深，你会发现她所展示的魅力是一言难尽的。
然而你的水平的提高和对这项运动的痴迷程度是与一个重要因素分不开的--- 一个好的球友，一个 matched partner
如果你总能和与你水平相近或稍高的对手过招，那么你会感到无比的乐趣。
但是，如果你的水平比你的对手低很多，或许你会感到沮丧和压力，或许你的partner会感到索然无趣和无所收获。
(这在某种意义上有些像找男/女朋友）
如果你的水平比你的partner高很多，不用惊奇，相反的事情便会发生在你的身上。
（当然，当你陪你真正的男/女朋友练球时除外）
这是打网球的人的一个普遍的现象，也是这项运动不易普及的一个跟本原因。

针对这种现象，
成立一个网球俱乐部可能是一个较好的解决方法！！
在这里，我们总是可以较容易的找到合适的选手练球，从而体验网球带给你的快乐。

一个俱乐部不仅可以提供良好的氛围和系统的训练，而且可以增强对网球的理解和兴趣，平添一份强烈的归属感。
虽然我们上周六已经组织了一次活动，但是那本质上只是一次签名交流，不是真正有组织的活动。
如果大家认为这是一个可行的计划，欢迎讨论，跟帖或发email to：edywise@hotmail.com

在此我把我的初步想法提出来供大家参考：
1。每周定期教练，练习，交流，比赛；
2。一起观摩精彩赛事的录像和实况；
3。争取现场观看"大师杯“ ，“AT&T, Rogers" 加拿大现场比赛；
4。练完球之后，如果你还有精神，一起喝一杯啤酒。
热烈欢迎讨论！！！！！


（另外，在此我要向那些上次活动不巧没有出席，但是又很想得到球友名单的朋友道歉。我之所以不能给你们这份通讯录，是因为在没有得到大家的同意的前提下，我无权把这份有关私人信息的文件发给任何人。请原谅！请你们参加下次活动时，正式申请加入我们，或直接找你感兴趣的球员要联系方式）

祝大家周六胃口好！
谢谢大家！！

谢谢Edy,Richard等几位高手的组织，BBQ真的很开心。

记得当时Edy说要成立CLUB的事，由于我当时忙于生火，没来得及细问，吃过之后又跑去打球了，请问最后是个什么情况？要报名的话算我一个。

下次打球时再见吧。

I suggest to set up a club and hold a match every year.

浪淘沙，Thank you very much for your wonderful pictures， even though I looked more ugly than usual. :cool:

Nice photos.

One idea:
If you could, pls take some video clips for each player so that they could know how they play and how to adjust.

I used to have a Sony Handycam. The very first day when I tried to shoot ourselves, my tennis buddy broke the switch. It never work well since then and I couldn't blame my friend either. :-(

topic 1.  racket

1. the first important factor is the racket weight, if the weight is correct, not too light, not too heavy(actually must be
heavy enough), then it's pretty good racket for beginner to intermediate player. Sampras said that the first tip he will give his son for playing tennis is find a wood racket for his son(it's heavy and stiff), basically all the current rackets in store with the same weight as wood racket are far better than wood racket.
believe or not, if the racket is not heavy enough, it's hard to have correct swing and feeling for making shot, the lighter the racket is, the more chance you look like moving a badminton racket(or you don't look like playing tennis).  the secret

of making tennis shot is:  the racket hit the ball at the right time no matter how slow you swing the racket(the slower motion means you swing the racket earlier).  so get a heavy racket, swing slowly and smoothly to hit the ball, if it's too late to hit the ball, then try swing and hit earlier not faster, for sure heavy racket will help you NOT swing faster. if you can hit the ball with slow motion, then it will not be a problem at all for you to hit the ball with faster motion or normal motion(that's the goal of advanced level).  tennis, badminton, pingpong, WUShu etc. players(professional) all have a lot of practice of slow motion on and off court, with and without ball.
If you start with a light racket, it will be much more difficult for you to get correct tennis shot swing.
The common mistake for beginner is:  rush for the ball(because they swing the racket too late), then their shot motion is not slow and not smooth enough, no matter they are good or not, they just don't look like playing tennis, like playing playing badminton, so the tennis racket just look like a thicker badminton racket, they have to use the wrist, or the wrist can not be firm because the racket rush for the ball,  and even so, they still think their motion is not fast enough because they miss the ball, so they blame the racket is too heavy and believe it limits their racket speed, so they approach to the lighter racket for fast swing, that's really the wrong direction, instead, they should follow Sampras tip: switch to the heavier racket: wood racket, it will force them slow down the swing, but swing earlier and then they can follow through longer for the power.  
believe or not, most players find the good and easy way to increase power is add more weight to the racket.

2. the weight ballance, the head is heavy or head is light, try head heavy first, if the racket is head light, then put some

lead tape on the racket to make the head heavier.

3. the frame is stiff or flexible, try stiff racket first, wood racket probably is the most stiff racket, it's really hard to generate power, but it give you a lot control, almost all the famous players(Michael Chang, Sampras, Courier etc.) started with stiff racket(more control, less power).
