You're proud of yourself for your complete fail at giving advice. The question was asked by an adult learning to pick up tennis. Adults are not looking to become Djokovic by wasting their free time hitting against a wall for hours on end. Adults ARE looking to enjoy themselves, and possibly meet new people and make friends at the same time.

The only thing you said that made any sense was to join a league. But that can only come after learning how to play the game. And you won't ever learn the rules or how to play against opponents from a wall.

I'm sorry you lack the life experience to assist others.

Right, he should skip my advice and get a virtual reality machine instead. Or was it watch youtube videos? Assisting others, I see. Thank you for your kindness and dedication to humanity.

I have always loved hitting against a backboard. Actually, I think backboards are too small as a general matter, but give me a building with a large flat brick wall with no windows, a relatively flat paved surface, a racquet, and a ball that isn't dead, and I'm a happy man for a couple hours.

But maybe I'm weird. I actually hit the heavy bag earlier today as well, so that's probably right. I mean, who in their right mind would hit the heavy bag?
