tennis tape Using lead tape instead of wrist weights for tennis?
Lead tape cost less and is not as thick as wrist weights.
I'm just wondering if it's a good idea because I'm trying to do this with as less money as possible, but also as effective as possible.
Could I use it by wrapping plastic around my wrist, then use the lead tape (the plastic would keep it from sticking to my skin), and then cover it up with a wrist sweatband?
If not, does anyone know any better ideas other then this and actually buying the wrist weights?
Eric H is right.
Lead tape on your racket changes the racket and can make you hit the ball harder.(depending on where you put it on the racket) It's not to make you stronger.
Putting weights on your wrists while playing tennis will make your reactions slower and will make you hit the ball slower.

I have a stack of VHS tapes in my room from when I recorded tennis matches during the US Open and Australian Open and I want to get them onto my iPod. Can this be done? or... do I have to buy any special kind of equipment to get the tape into the computer, before loading it onto my iPod? And if so what/how? Thanks alot!
If you have a video card on your computer with video in ports you can connect your VCR to the computer, press play and use basic software like Windows Movie Maker to capture the video. Then you need to convert it to a format your iPod understands and transfer it to the iPod.
I would suggest using VLC Media Player to capture the VCR input so that you can save directly to .avi which iPod can play.
If you don't have a video card with video inputs you can also use video to USB converters such a this:
Last...if you ONLY have one or two tapes perhaps just paying a shop to move them to DVD then popping the DVD into your computer would be the cheapest option.
