    D3 Coach constantly asking parents for money

    I am a D3 player as well, and this kind of thing is unheard of on my team. We get more than enough money to cover our meals, uniforms, hotels, team functions, strings, etc. I see 2 things that could be happening: he's either terrible at budgeting, or he's ripping the parents and/or the school...

    Most Favoured Surface?

    I voted indoor hardcourt but I was having a hard time deciding on that or outdoor artificial. I ended up going for indoor for the same reasons that OP did. Outdoor artificial is fun to play on because of the bounce height and speed. Makes me feel like a better player when I hit on an artificial...

    college tennis fans favorite pro players

    Favorite player is definitely Wawrinka (I'm a hipster because I liked him before the AO win!), and I also follow these guys: Isner Monfils Stepanek Llodra Verdasco I'm also a big Tennessee fan so I follow Rhyne Williams, JP Smith, and Tennys Sandgren. Surprised to see the @$$ comments about...

    2013 Fall Tournaments

    Does anyone know where you can find times for the matches at the Ohio valley regional? Do they just feed new matches onto the court as others finish? I plan on going tomorrow.

    Babolat shoe warranty

    I believe on the warranty card there is a space that allows you to write what size you want.

    What's my rating? (Video of practice session)

    I play a lot of league matches around Knoxville, and you would easily play with 4.0 players around here, in my opinion.

    TW Wilson Steam 99s Demo String

    I've demoed the 99s 3 times and it has had 4G on it every time. If it was more white colored then I suppose it might be Luxilon M2.

    What should I demo?

    I also have a Pure Drive GT that I snagged for $29. I play decently with it but you're correct, my elbow and shoulder can't take it.

    What should I demo?

    I just got some demoes, but unfortunately my local shop didn't have any of the racquets that have been recommended. I ended up trying the Babolat Pure Storm GT, A Wilson Blade 98 18x20, and the Steam 99S again. I played with them each for about 30 minutes side by side and I still like the 99S...

    What should I demo?

    After a string of injuries, I'm finding it difficult to play with my Volkl Powerbridge 10 Midplus for long periods of time. For example, I played a match yesterday and while I was fresh, I went up 5-0 in the first set. It was at this point I began to feel my injuries and fatigue, and I ended up...

    Do College players have to pay for strings and stringing?

    I play D3 and we get free strings and stringing, however the strings that we can get for free aren't the strings I like so I have to buy my own.

    A Volkl Powerbridge 10 MP might be worth checking out.

    post your shoes before the shoe warranty claim

    Can Courtballistec 4.3's be sent back if the bubble pops? The bottoms are slick as well but have not been broken through completely.

    2013 NCAA Men's Tennis Tournament - Champaign, IL

    I was at the UT match today and I honestly couldn't believe that SC State's 1 seed was legitimately their 1. He played 3 doubles and was absolutely awful. Libietis was having an off day and he still beat him with ease. Brandon Fickey seems like he always loses at 3 seed, but maybe he was having...

    Clemson Tiger tennis

    I watched the end of their match today, it was pretty exciting. I'll be at the match tomorrow cheering for UT of course, but good luck to you guys!

    post your shoes before the shoe warranty claim

    The other day as I was playing in my Courtballistec 4.3's it seems like a bubble formed in the heal. Has anyone else had this problem? Now when I wear them it feels like I'm constantly stepping on something. Will this qualify for the warranty?

    Racquets Similar to Volkl PB10 MP

    Since this racquet has been discontinued I figured it was only a matter of time before I had to switch racquets. Is there anything similar to it in terms of feel and the 18x20 string pattern? The closest thing I have seen is the Organix 10, but it is 16x19. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Am I still able to play?

    JLyon is right. You are ineligible for NCAA play, but there are some good NAIA schools you could go to. As a 5.0 player I don't think you'll have trouble finding somewhere to play.

    Tennis Mental Toughness

    Hello, I'm currently writing a research paper about mental toughness and how it pertains to tennis. The direction I'm going is to determine whether it is possible to train mental toughness. I was wondering if anybody had any useful links or book recommendations they could show me. I also wanted...

    How good do you have to be?...

    I play at a low level D3 school and I'm a low 4.0 at 4th seed. Our 6th and 7th players have never played before.
