Pong (marketed as PONG) is one of the earliest arcade video games, and is a tennis sports game featuring simple two-dimensional graphics. The aim is to defeat an opponent—either computer-controlled or a second player—by earning a higher score. The game was originally manufactured by Atari Incorporated (Atari), who released it in 1972. Pong was created by Allan Alcorn as a training exercise assigned to him by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell. Bushnell based the idea on an electronic ping-pong game included in the Magnavox Odyssey, which later resulted in a lawsuit against Atari. Surprised by the quality of Alcorn’s work, Atari decided to manufacture the game. Pong quickly became a success and is the first commercially successful video game, which led to the start of the video game industry. Soon after its release, several companies began producing games that copied Pong’s gameplay, and eventually released new types of games. As a result, Atari encouraged its staff to produce more innovative games. Several sequels were released that built upon the original’s gameplay by adding new features. During the 1975 Christmas season, Atari released a home version of Pong exclusively through Sears retail stores. It was also a commercial success and led to numerous copies. The game has been remade on numerous home and portable platforms following its release. Pong has been referenced and parodied in multiple television shows and video games, and has been a part of several video game and

The Worlds Prettiest Tennis Game Belongs To This 13 Year Old!!

Posted in Tennis Ball Machine Reviews on March 12th, 2010 by tennis ball machine – 15 Comments

The video you are watching is of 13 year old Deja Kitchiner. Deja’s Junior tennis career is unique in many ways. For one Deja was invited to train at a world class tennis academy and she has respectfully declined. Deja’s game and development has also been very visible to the public. Deja has been uploading videos of her tennis talents on you tube since she was 10 years old. The videos are often met with mixed reviews, & some have even reached over 100000 views. Most of Deja’s older videos have been taken down because they contained copy written music. Deja has decided to start fresh, and currently Deja’s other live video is at 75000 views and counting. Deja is also unique because she is blessed with tremendous athletic explosiveness, and a playing style that is beautiful to watch. While some notable tennis players have been trained by their parents, most including Venus and Serena Williams eventually went on to receive training from outside (Rick Macci and the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy)sources.

Tennis Tips - Tennis Videos - Tennis Bloopers Sydney’s backhand follow-through is correct. Now, think of how nice our hits would be if we got balanced better! The loop needs to stay to the side. The wrists need to relax. The knees need to stay down… check out the bowling step you take with your left foot… we want that foot down! Footwork is looking good. So is overall composure and court presence. Comments welcome!
