Kane Waselenchuk vs Rocky Carson 2008 US OPEN in Memphis TC.

[whataname01]

Anyone notice the thing Rocky does with touching his feet after every point... does he have a foot or shoe problem or something?

[saiyankenny]

uhh....to keep his shoes from slipping?

just about every player does this.

[mhebble]

No one does this except Rocky... drives me crazy.... It may be that he is wiping his soles, or it may be just a pre-serve habit. Can't knock it though, he's consistently ranked in the top 3.

[helianimal]

Jason Mannino is worst that Rocky with the pre-serve O.C. behavior.

[steve51865]

Like a few of the comments said...he is only wiping dust from his shoes. I does this too. It is very common

Everybody has a pre-serve routine...that doesn't make it OCD. Rocky would have OCD if he couldn't make it to a match because he thinks he left the stove on, or needs to wash his hands 50 times before leaving the house.

[helianimal]

OCD is NOT always a bad thing or some sort of insult. It can be a compliment. I'm big time OC with some things, that doesn't always mean weird things like washing your hands.. ect. It can be a gift of structure if it doesn't control your life.

[steve51865]

In your defense, your original post mentions OC and not OCD. You are right in the sense that obsessive compulsive personality, not the disorder, is common and can be a benefit. It can certianly provide people with structure & control in their life. OCD, on the other hand, is a serious disorder that can render people unable to function in everyday life.

I have not read "The Power of Now". I do have an interest in that sort of thing. Good call. I think I may buy the book. Thanks. Have a good one.

[helianimal]

I wouldn't be surprised if you've read the book "The Power of Now" ?

[steve51865]

By the way...do you heli-ski? I was wondering what your screen name meant.

[helianimal]

No I'm a pilot. The name derived from an evolutionary combination of nick names... lol.

Does anyone have Kane's number BTW??? I want some lessons and some of whatever kickass drugs he took to get that good.. lol.. jk

[smccoy311281]

@helianimal mostly cocaine and pot. That should do the trick, it worked for Kane

[jayball711]

Actually, we timed it and Rocky takes longer.

OC? Nah...just routine to keep me in the "NOW".

[lonewolf1234512345]

he's checking for dog shit

[in2backpacking]

Have you played basketball? Your shoes collect dust and slip, so he is getting rid of the dust.

[whataname01]

the guy is kind of arrogant and acts like a prima donna... another bad boy in sports. See the video of him accusing the ref. of taking bribe from Rocky Carson in the US open.

[saiyankenny]

he is not arrogant or cocky.

the video that you refer to was from years ago.

VERY few people think that he is arrogant at all.

[Rippedlonghorn45]

If Kane stays healthy, he will be known as the greatest player to ever play racquetball.

[helianimal]

I agree. He's untouchable. I'd like to see Sudsy in his prime vs Kane now. Sudsy is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. I've seen him at my local gym, he came up and introduced himself to me. I've never met Kane.. I've heard Rocky is a huge gentleman also.
