Union Road Remodel!
Starting on Tuesday, November 12th through the beginning of Summer 2020 (at the latest I am assured by Cal Portland), the city is redesigning the road in between the Club and Barney Schwartz Park. The project includes the following phases of work and will occur at different times during the project:
- Concrete improvements (side walk, curb ramps, cross gutters, etc.)
- PCC pavement removal & roadway excavation
- Underground utilities (electrical, irrigation, sewer and water)
- Grinding of the existing pavement
- Paving
- Restriping and replacement of markings
- Installation of new pedestrian crossing with flashing beacon
Please look for no parking signs that will be posted 72 hours prior to each phase. Work hours will be generally between 7 am and 5 pm. Occasional night work will take place during the dates listed above. The night work hours will be between 10 pm and 5 am. Cars will be towed if parked during the no parking dates posted on Union Road.
I have been assured that there will be constant access to both of our parking lots during this construction. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this revitalization of our frontage road. We are excited to have a beautiful (and quiet) road in the future.
Sincerely,
Sara Dobroth, General Manager

Tennis Hub
A Special Thank You and Shoutout From Devin Barber
Welcome to the start of the holiday season. Before we touch base on events coming up, I just wanted to give a report of how successful our Cal Poly ProAm was last month. Even in all my years of participating in ProAm's in my time at Cal Poly, I never saw a turn out as big as ours. I just wanted to thank you for getting behind Cal Poly tennis like that, and I'm glad it looked like everyone who attended had a great time. All I can say it that the Cal Poly Programs really benefit from your generosity. We were just shy of 50 total participants that day and that is a true testament to the culture we have established at PRSC. I also want to give a special shoutout to Amy for not only being such an integral part of our club, but also getting the Cal Poly Women's team here as their assistant coach. Amy did so much behind the scenes, and while she does it all for the love of tennis here in the Central Coast, please make sure to give her a special thank you for all she does.
Heading into the holiday season we have multiple special events headed your way themed around Thanksgiving and of course our Ugly Sweater Christmas Mixer. Dates and more information will be released shortly for these events and we hope everyone is ready to break back out the warmer clothing out on the courts as it appears to already be that time of year.
See you out on the courts!

Crush Your Forehand!
If your forehand is your "go to shot", read on how to add some variety to your arsenal. What we are going to cover this month are some differences between the "stepping into your forehand" and the "semi-open/open stance forehand", which is one of the main reasons you'll see increase in power in today's groundstrokes.
Most of us learn the "step into your forehand" technique (such as baseball hitters do when they stride into the pitch"), because just swinging the racquet forward takes less time, so we don't need to be at the right place very early. If we don't transfer much weight into the shot, all we need to do is to get to the ball and swing the racquet, we can do that fairly quickly, a bit like this player…
Now when we utilize a "semi-open or open" stance forehand, such as Roger Federer often does, notice he tends to engage almost his entire body, he will build more racquet speed and more power by "loading up" on his right leg, rotating his shoulders and his hips quicker through the hitting zone as opposed to the player who tends to just step into the shot.
So, what you're really doing is changing from a "linear momentum" shot to an "angular momentum" shot which helps to incorporate more body parts and larger muscle groups, your legs in particular, more efficiently as Roger is doing.
Now, none of us are ever gonna' be anywhere near Roger abilities, but don't let that stop you from trying! A simple term I use to modify forehands is actually tied to the first frame of Roger's sequence, which is "show me your shoulder". Notice how Roger's significant shoulder turn exposes the back of his left shoulder to his opponent while the first player barely shows her opponent the front of her left shoulder. If you can rotate your upper body as Roger is doing, all sorts of good things happen, all helping to produce the power, depth and consistency we all strive for.
So, what's really the difference in the outcome of the two different techniques? Research has shown the difference between just dropping the ball and hitting it to: "stepping into the forehand" which may produce between 5 to 10 mph of extra ball speed, but utilizing the full shoulder and hip rotation correctly of the "semi or open stance forehand" can contribute up to an extra 26 mph of ball speed!
Experiment with this new shot, if you don't already have it, and see if you don't start ripping more winners than ever before!
See Ya' on the Courts, Gary
