Jan. 9, Night Tennis.

January 9, Wednesday - Tennis.

Tonight was again a slow start with regard to the number of members.  So the on-time people were able to get a good warm-up done.  The drill menu was as usual, but with a small number of members, there was zero rest time.  It was a constant rush of hitting on both sides of the net.  What I mean is that, for example, when we do Stroke/Volley drills, the stroke people have to take turns while the volley people are set and usually don't have a break.  But today, even the stroke people didn't have any break because everyone was moving quickly and there was always an open position.  We did a little Service/Return practice as well.  However, we only did one round because the time was short.  I was on the return side, so I had to go up against a lot of good servers.  Unlike Sunday, I was really feeling my contact point tonight a lot more.  I was striking the ball really well, and my timing was much better than Sunday.  Then we did Game-Sims, and I was able to hold off the better players and snag several points from them as well.  I was able to control the ball with the weaker players to extend rallies which was a good cardio workout for me.  It was a good night.

In the end, I burned a higher than average 1711 kcals.  I wish I could keep this contact feel or at least call upon it at will during matches and tournaments.
