    Dang. Me and my brother have been playing alot of tennis lately. Anyone in Clear Lake looking for some games?

    We are both pretty bad though.

    Question....the balls we use...Penn seem to last only one time. Atleast I think so. The new balls of course bounce much better. How many games do you guys play before going with new balls?

    Anybody know any places I can go for tennis lessons in Clear Lake?

    I freakin love playing tennis!! I just wish I was good.

    I can't seem to find any FREE places in KATY (Fry rd. area) to at least swing my old racquet against the wall. :(

    In what area of the SW are you, lost_elephant?

    Theres plenty of places for lessons in Clear Lake, Baywood Country Club, Bay Oaks Country Club, Bay Area Racket Club, then theres private coaches not affiliated w/ anyone such as Craig Domingues, AJ, John Mills, Steven Bouis.

    You have to be rated by a tennis pro. This person evaluates you from observation of serves, ground strokes, volleys, overheads and court play etc.

    Anyone in LA want to play? I'm not that good at all, but I have played some. I would love to play more so I can get back into it, and improve my game. I live in the valley, so there, Hollywood, or maybe West LA would all be good for me.
