    Why do pro's hit hard in practice?

    I happen to agree here, Nothing sounds better then slamming a ball hard as you can in the middle of the pocket, it makes a very unique sound. I never once seen a great player from the 70s or 80s slam balls around while practing, They practiced just like they played, a thing of beauty.
