The weather at Waikiki in Hawaii, is the best in the world. It is warm and dry throughout the year (70~90F). No hurricanes, no heavy rains, no earthquakes. Money can not buy weather. So here is the best place to play tennis and to realize the successful aging. 常夏のハワイといわれるように気候は世界一。一年を通じて気温は20~30℃、湿度が低いのでカラットしてます。台風、大雨、地震もないです。いくら金持ちでも気候はお金では買えません。青空の下でテニスができたら、心と体の健康に良いでしょう。ハワイで素晴らしい健康的な人生を楽しみましょう。

いいロブが打てたぞ!!
Kenがバックラインから柔らかくロブを上げました。いい感じで柔らかなロブが上がったのでイメージ通り深く入ると感じボールを見つめています。パートナーの Susan も狙い通りのロブなので安心しきって見つめています。このボールは、相手の頭を越えバックライン一杯に入り見事に決まりました!!

Masako holding her new Hawaii driver's license.
Her husband Nori also got same one. So they are very happy.
I think they became now 50% Japanese 50% local. Because they purchased their
condominium in Waikiki area and bland new car all the more got Hawaii driver's license.
Actually they made a plan to live in Japan 6 months and another 6 months live in Honolulu every year.
満月だ!!

If you are repetition oriented, you develop a different mindset. Since repetition requires you to do something over and over again until you get it, you and your thinking become the most important factor, not the technical.

この先にテニスコートが!!
大きなパフの木が枝を広げ素敵な景色を見せてくれています。こんな景色の中にテニスコートがありその中でプレーできる本当に素敵ですね。ワイキキ側から歩いてきてこの付近まで来るとこんないい環境で毎日テニスができるなんて超贅沢だなぁと思ってしまいます。

From Joe C.
This morning I searched my wallet.
It was empty.
Then, I checked my pockets.
I found a few coins.
I then searched my heart and found you.
Then, I realized how rich I really am...

PARIS — Ask Jürgen Melzer, the Austrian left-hander, to name the shot that gives him the most pleasure in tennis, and the answer is not an ace or a forehand winner.

Technical is what makes it all work. This subtle, but incorrect mindset can be devastating in match play. Mainly because you will try to solve problems on the court from this incorrect mindset.. always looking for the technical to solve the problems.

Supper Aggressive Return
Combine shoulder turn and racket take-back into one movement. Attack both first and second serves. Hit the ball hard and early on the rise and think that none of those returns hit right will come back.

センターベルトの補強
Steve's tennis clinic (Advice 15)
Do you have a pessimistic view of your misses or an optimistic view of your misses? Are you a mistake oriented or solution oriented? Give yourself the freedom to go for your shots and if you miss, accept it. and then move on. remember, going for your shots does not mean to pulverize the ball every time. It is the absence of being too careful and being afraid of failing.

ツグミが群れで!!
カピオラニ公園芝生の上を歩いていると何か固まりが動いているのが見えたのでソット近づいてみるとツグミが群れで芝生の中に隠れている昆虫類を啄ばんでいる所でした。随分近づいても飛び立とうとしないで一生懸命食べ物を探し昆虫を見つけて啄ばんでいました。昆虫,小鳥,小動物,色々な植物そして人間が共存して気持ちよい公園があるなんて素晴らしいですね。

Going for shots is a mental attitude. It's freedom to not worry about failing when you are hitting.
There are two different mental attitudes toward going for your shots and missing. With the first mental attitude when you go for it, I'll make it next time, keep going for your shots.
With the second, i am missing. i should stop doing that. which one are you?
静かなクヒオ・ビーチ
9時前のクヒオ・ビーチまだ賑やかになるには、チョッピリ早い時間です。きれいにローラがかけられた砂浜そしてまだ開店していないビーチ用品のレンタルショップ静かなビーチです。こうやってテニスコートからの帰りにワイキキ方面をながめ穏やかな景色を眺めるといつも深呼吸したくなるのですね。不思議なものです。
