Every time there is a hiatus in my
playing time (the weather’s been bad lately), my consistency goes
off and my game seems to drop a couple of levels. What can I do to
mitigate my inconsistency?

Ask The Pro:
I have a follow on to my tennis elbow question.
My overall flexibility and range of motion has
decreased while the pain in my lower back and
knees is increasing after I finish playing.
Can you suggest any simple exercises which might
help me address some of these issues??

Ask The Pro:
I've developed a bad case of tennis elbow after
switching to a hybrid poly string. It doesn’t
seem to matter how I strap it, it's not getting
any better. What can I do to fix my tennis
elbow?

Ask The Pro:
We have enjoyed
watching the Shanghai Masters doubles. These
guys never seem to worry about protecting their
sidelines when their partner is serving whereas
my partners often tell me "to watch my sideline"
all the time. Should I try to poach more?

State of Origin
Decider: July 2.
After a resounding NSW win in round one
Queensland responded in the second leg with a
comprehensive butt kicking to leave this year's
State of Origin wide open for the taking by
either team. We will be opening the bar,
ordering pizza, bringing in a big screen
projector and watching the carnage unfold in the
comfort of the clubhouse and encourage those of
you without plans to come on down and enjoy the
game with friends! So warn the other half now,
tell them you're off to the club for beers &
rugby and leave them with control of the TV
remote and Grey's Anatomy Repeats for the
night! Doors open at 7pm on Wednesday so block
your diary now and see you there.
