Default Re: OT: The Throwing vs Hitting Tennis Bet

He cant catch the ball close if the server is good. You have around 0.4-0.5 seconds to respond. You can probably react in 0.15. Then you need to move your hand to where the ball is in 0.25-0.35 seconds. Thats not possible.

OMFG people. This is exactly what tennis players do anyway. He's not going against Andy Roddick and 140MPH serves.

I've already tried to spell this out, I'm through after this. Let me just say, that as someone who worked at a tennis center with nothing to do for 2 years, and no tennis skills, I spent a lot of time throwing tennis balls around. You can see where I side on these wagers.

Also, collegiate tennis players tend to think waaaay too highly of themselves and their skills, making them prime targets for Nick.
