    Racket "pop"

    Glad someone can relate. I feel like I'm phased by it so much because when my racket isn't playing responsive it's hard to "feel" the ball and in turn control it. Lol, you mean arm to be relaxed and not tense? What you're saying otherwise makes sense.

    Racket "pop"

    But how do you explain the differences from day to do when sometimes I come out firing and other times I'm struggling to consistently hit with pace? Is it actually feasible that depending on the day, my technique/swing vary that extremely?

    Racket "pop"

    I use NRG2 and I pop them before they start playing dead. I really am reluctant to attribute it to the strings being dead for that reason.

    Racket "pop"

    Whats up guys. Havent been posting here since 2 1/2 years ago so it feels good to be back. Anway on to my question--idk if anyone experiences this, but sometimes I'll walk on court and be crushing balls; precise and powerful rips. Other times, I'll be hitting and it'll feel like I'm using a...

    Head FXP string... what do ppl think?...

    Very good string..it's my primary string and can't find another one to be that well-rounded and comfortable on the arm to be honest

    Can't stop experimenting!!!

    LMAO, quite true but sad my friend. There's a trade off between every single string, whether you compensate its power, control, stiffness, feel, etc. You need to prioritize between its different aspects and choice accordingly.

    I.Prestige vs. Microgel Prestige(both MP)

    A guy I met today is offering to sell me 3 for an extremely low price. I haven't played with the i.Prestige yet, so I wanted to see how it compares with my Microgel. I wouldn't mind having it as my first racket if its better than the Microgel. The only thing that concerns me is the i.Prestige's...

    Lendl v. Wilander, April 10th 2010

    If it matters, I have some pics. As for the match, very old school. Long rallies, lots of topspin, slice, the whole 9 yards. Not a lot of power, so not my cup of tea, but I appreciate their playing styles.

    KBT Real or NOT?

    Maybe it was customized in the butt cap...check there for lead tape or silicon.

    The Official Lead Tape Placement+Racket Customization Thread

    Help is greatly appreciated Just bought Gamma lead tape 1/4" My biggest desire is additional control, followed by stability, followed by power. I was thinking about adding lead tape at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions, but if it's geared more towards increasing the sweet spot, maybe I...

    That jacket is super nice, I just think that $64 is a little too steep.

    String comparable to (or better than) Head FXP Power but with more durability?

    Agreed, the regular FXP is a great string, especially for its price.

    Youtek prestige vs microgel prestige

    Because here's the thing: I had two Microgel Prestiges. Then I sold one and with some additional money bought a Youtek Prestige. My next step would be to sell my last Microgel, and add more money to finally get two of the Youteks. Even though I don't mind spending extra money to upgrade to a...

    Question for TW concerning shipping

    I just purchased an item, and although I'm assured that I'll receive it with no problems, a warning was present prior to checkout that stated that if I ordered with Priority Mail, the item would not be guaranteed to be received. Although I know this won't happen, but couldn't someone technically...

    PT57E vs. Prestige Youtek MP

    Can anyone explain what the difference is in terms of performance when it comes to the Prestige pallets vs. the Speed pallets? Obviously, their shapes are different, but what difference do they make?

    Youtek Prestige MP string set up or racquet vs say a BLX??

    tennisplayer...which stick do you believe to have the better control? I just switched from the Microgel to the Youtek, but I might end switching back. I honestly believe the Microgel has better control, and this is what I was looking forward to the most in addition to its added power, but I...

    Two Piece Stringing

    I use a Head racket, so then it shouldn't be done ATW anyway. Thanks for the info....as for the two peice stringing, I guess I'll just cut the sets into two so theres no other way around it.

    Two Piece Stringing

    Do stringers use ATW or no? And would it be ok to request such a service, or is it something not taken pleasantly?

    Youtek Prestige MidPlus

    Finally, after more than two months worth of waiting, I received them yesterday and finally got my opportunity to hit with this babe today. Must say, extremely great racket and I'm very happy with it. Power is as colassal as it gets, feel is superb, spin was plentiful, and control was still...

    Two Piece Stringing

    Does this just mean that a set of string is cut into two pieces(each approx. 20 feet) and strung that way? I heard that it causes the frame less stress when stringing, so by cutting the set in half, would it help relieve some pressure? And is this also the same thing as the Around the World...
