Marty Hogan vs Charlie Brumfield (tiebreaker)

[@lbowsk]

I started playing in 1977. Marty was the phenom of the day. Got a job at a local club and got pretty good, but never anything like these guys. I became a bottom-level A player. But my club had a ton of talent and the top A players would kick my ass. I stopped playing for about 15 years then took it back up. I still had an old Voit something or other....Impact One??? Everyone was swinging huge eForce-style racquets. I was getting beat by guys that I should have dispatched easily. Then one night I broke my racquet string and got a loaner from the front desk. It was a yellow eForce - I can't remember the model. I realized an immediate and profound change in my game and I fell in love with it all over again. I played a lot and hard for about 15 years. I beat most but not all the guys at my club. Then, I got beat more and more. ;) The youngsters were much faster than I ever was. I used to marvel at their games. Now I'm 64 and have bad knees and weak ankles. I blew out my right elbow a decade ago. Sadly, I no longer play. I think I could still play squash but there are no courts anywhere near me. Man, I miss being a young buck!!

Awesome video - thank you for sharing! Do you have any earlier videos?

The lack of today’s pros “pre serve rituals” really kept the game’s momentum up

I can't stand that crap. Thank you for pointing that out.
