Long time no see

It´s been awhile sine last post and that is because nothing at all have happened in the tennis-world for me. When we played last league match I got a (hopefully) minor injury to my lower left knee and it´s still a little bit sore. Don´t know what it is but it´s on the inside of the leg and hurts a bit when i´m twisting my leg or putting stress sideways. No problem at all running straight.

It´s now 18 days since my last shot on the tenniscourt and I am really hungry to play at the moment. We are approaching the lovely claycourt season fast now and i don´t intend to play anything more on hardcourt before the claycourts opens up. Next practice will hopefully be this weekend indoors on a carpet granualate court in Habo. very similar to clay and possible to slide. The sliding part is the most important thing to adjust to when u move out on clay.

I got a new pair of claycourt shoes from ebay. A grey/black Adidas Feather III. My only concern with the Feather III´s are the very aggressive pimple sole that may cause problems for a heavy bloke like me. The grip might be TOO good. I will try them and if that´s the case (that the grip is too good) I will use a sandpaper and sand it down to the right grip occures...

I might also buy a pair of the Wilson Trance shoe line. The herrigebone pattern on the sole seems to be very nice and might fit the swedish type of "clay".

I will not sign up for the tournamnet in Vetlanda april 17-19 and my next tournament will be in Tranås in the middle of May , outdoors on clay. After that the tournaments and league matches will line up each week and I gotta be fit and ready for it.

I will soon cut out the strings from my 5 K6.1´s and strip them nude and put some serious lead on them so they are nice, heavy and excactly the same weight and balance on all 5 when the claycourt swing starts. Gotta have some extra 15-20 grams on the heavy claycourts.

BTW; Croatia is now 26 days away...
