Mainly I talk a lot, can't keep my mouth shut, it's like I think i'm Bob Hope or something, got to may a wise crack, and this alway's causees me to loose concentration, I know it, but don't seem to be able to quite, but I still enjoy the game, or I would just hang it up. Besides it keeps me young. But I can serve practically every time and get the ball in, it medium hard I would say, the average good player dosen't have too hard time returning it, but I seem to just stand there and watch the ball i have trouble following the ball in, because I seem to be afraid i'll get a deep return and be out of the play I quess, going to the net seems to be my nemis but when I am there as a rule, i'm not very effective. I have trouble being at the right place at the right time. thank you.
