Customer Review: Unique Foam Tennis Balls
Having hit with some foam tennis balls with a friend and enjoyed the diversion, I decided I would like to buy some to use with teaching kids to play tennis. The ones my friend had were about the size of a softball, bounced predictably, and moved in slow motion. They were fun to practice big strokes with.
So I checked out the offerings. The Unique Foam balls sounded and appeared to be similar to those I had used, but the advertisement did not mention how large they were. I decided to try them, thinking they were probably larger than a regular tennis ball. That was a mistake. When they came, they were the same size as a tennis ball. I still thought they might be usable, but when I tried them out, I was not pleased with them at all. They do not bounce as well as the larger ones–that is, not as lively, a lower bounce. Because they are smaller, they travel through the air a bit faster; and what makes them almost useless for my purposes–they are not truly round, so the direction of the bounce is unpredictable.

If the purpose is not to win, what s the point of going to war in the first place? We re spreading democracy and winning hearts and minds? Right! I served in Vietnam and I have been to a number of other third world countries. They want what we have, but they don t necessarily want us. We can t issue democracy to these countries and we damned sure can t force it on them. Democracy is something they have to want bad enough to fight for it themselves. And who are we to say that democracy is right for everybody. Some countries are not culturally set up for democracy, period, and others may not yet be ready for it. When they are, let them find it and fight for it themselves. They will appreciate it more that way. Another mistake we have repeated in Iraq is getting involved in a war, in a country whose culture we did not understand. Before we bound off and get involved in our next war we should study our own history and do a little homework on our adversary s culture, maybe see if we had an …

.. If the child gets injured, or falls, or something doesn’t go their way, they look for comfort and understanding in the arms of their parents. We, as parents, want to help our children. However, as a tennis coach (and parent), I have witnessed too many players misbehaving on the tennis court. Often, it is just a simple error that triggers the frustration or meltdown. Consistently, the children tend to be more “dramatic” when parents are present; the parents’ good intentions ultimately create future setbacks. Sometimes it is easy to forget that the mistake (or problem) can actually teach our children a whole lot more in the long run. If they miss a shot or lose a point, they try to seek comfort and understanding from their parents by looking towards them. Or on occasion, pretending that they are sick or perhaps injured… When their parents are not present, they learn to understand that when problems occur, the only way to deal with them is by handling these problems by themselves…! …

Let’s say you sell tennis balls online and you have three brands available, Slazenger, Wimbledon and Wilson and your webstore is at www.bigballsintennis.com. A mistake would be to call your sales page something like this www.bigballsintennis.com/product1.html www.bigballsintennis.com/product2.html www.bigballsintennis.com/product3.html This just tells search engines that you sell products! What you want to do is use the keywords for the main search terms you want that page to show up for in search engines. Something like this would be better. www.bigballsintennis.com/slazenger-tennis-balls.html www.bigballsintennis.com/wimbledon-tennis-balls.html www.bigballsintennis.com/wilson-tennis-balls.html Note that it would also be a good idea to have a tennis balls homepage that links to all those pages but focuses on the keyword tennis balls only. Something like: www.bigballsintennis.com/tennis-balls.html Conduct Keyword Research Now remember you probably face a bit of competition for …

Benefit: Hitting the slice backhand allows you to hit a controlled shot back to our opponent if they have pulled you wide with their low, short ball. Benefit: A slice allows you the opportunity to hit an approach shot deep, controlled, and off-pace, which gives you time to get to the net and be prepared for your opponent’s lob or passing shot attempts. Reason #2: The slice backhand is hit when an opponent pulls you wide to your backhand side during a baseline rally. Benefit: Hitting a deep, cross-court slice in this situation allows you to remain in the point and keep your opponent away from the net. Reason #3: A slice backhand is often used to keep a point going while waiting for your opponent to make a mistake. Benefit: In this situation, your opponent may grow impatient and/or lazy. Rallying from the baseline and hitting slice backhands deep into your opponent’s court can cause your opponent to get lazy and hit you a short ball, which you can then attack. It may also cause your opp …

Customer Review: Best Customer Service - The Paddle Company
Kudos for the exceptional customer service from The Paddle Company! I recently placed an order for a paddle and some balls, that I thought was for platform tennis, but actually was not. I immediately received an email from the owner of the company with a clarifying question and a request for me to call him (which I did). He couldn’t have been more helpful, we resolved my mistake and my paddle is on its way.
Who says great customer service doesn’t exist anymore. Congrats to Amazon for partnering with excellent companies such as this.

Customer Review: NOT “One Dozen” cans as normally marketed!
NOTE that this product is NOT being marketed in the way that any other tennis balls are ever sold. I saw “One Dozen” and thought that I was buying “One Dozen Cans” because that is how everyone else sells tennis balls. DO NOT FALL FOR MY SAME MISTAKE. This is only “One Dozen” Balls. They should not be allowed to market this this way. I now spent WAY TOO MUCH on tennis balls (after s&h).
Customer Review: beware that these are only 4 cans of balls
I read the item description too fast and now I bought the most expensive tennis balls!

Customer Review: Penn Championship Extra Duty Tennis Balls - 24 Can Case
These are the biggest crooks. Amazons should have made them send every one of us what they had on sale not just refunding our money of nine dollars I believe. Crooked crooked, crooked do not do business with them.

Customer Review: Mistake Corrected Quickly & Amicably by Bic
I think that the best test of a transaction is not whether everything goes well, but how a problem with an order is resolved. I viewed the original offer of 24 cans for $5.00 over several days before placing an order. It looked too good to be true - and it was. Bic responded quickly, the problem was resolved immediately and quite professionally. However it would not have been an issue if Amazon and Bic had a better process for checking problematic situations before they escalate. A simple email stating that there was a problem with the order would have sufficed. The “Keep It Simple” policy applies.
