Is it possible that seniors are getting Alzheimer’s and dementia from that darn TV tube because they don’t think any longer? On the radio, they say e...

Level 3 and lower grip tension is too loose allowing the head of the racquet to twist in hand when the ball is hit outside the sweet spot. Most volleys are missed at the net due to...
