    The Meet-Up In Mousetown, July 18, 2017: Jaggy & Stringertom's Pub Crawl

    @stringertom Yep I met up with @Big_Dangerous for a bit of a hit last year. I've been very inactive on TTW the past few months :oops:

    Not really. Plenty of other posters here who are sensitive to swingweight changes as well. I also personally know many players who don't give a flying hoot about swingweight. They can grab a light 310+ swingweight tweener or a decently weighted player's racquet and they'll adjust quickly and...

    Do you flip your racquet?

    Then just keep switching grips with the non-dominant hand between fh and bh, there's nothing wrong with that. There's usually plenty of time to switch grips anyway even when you're hitting groundstrokes against someone volleying at the net, so there's no real need to "flip". Like you said...

    Doubles: How far do I stand from the net?

    I think @Bender is trying to prove that position #2 is used for the returner's partner, not the server's partner.

    String Bed Stiffness Riddle

    Frames do soften over time, especially with heavy use. It probably deforms just a bit more than the newer frame when strung so that can potentially lower the DT by a bit.

    I'd imagine it's going to be a "stick hand in the bin and pick one up" process if the customer doesn't make a specific request for swingweight. The thing is, the vast majority of rec tennis players are fairly ignorant to racquet specs outside of those that are normally printed on the stick. In...

    How do you swap sides in doubles?

    Switch automatically the moment the net player crosses and make sure both of you agree before the match begins. It's slower to wait for the "cross" or "switch" verbal cue from either player and sometimes in the heat of the play, anyone can potentially forget to call out the verbal cue. It's also...

    I haven't had the opportunity to hit with both TC95 63RA and TC97, I just went straight to the TC95 based on feedbacks here and I have been enjoying the racquet so much I actually don't feel like trying anything else. Ok, except maybe the original PS85 -- I just want to experience hitting with...

    Where do I look when playing doubles at the net?

    Watch the opposing net player when your partner is hitting the ball to be ready to react to a poach, then watch the opposing baseliner if the ball has passed the net player. Edit: Never mind. Bethanie said it better in the video posted by @xFullCourtTenniSx

    Different strokes for different folks I guess. I think @dgoran also didn't enjoy the TC97 18x20 as much as the TC95 18x20 so you're not alone.

    backhand down the line

    I think that with the increase of the average top spin produced by the pros' groundstrokes off both wings, it becomes a bit safer to change the direction of a rally shot since you can hit with more net clearance and still have the ball dip in, not necessarily for an outright backhand down the...

    Zverev on Murray and Federer

    LOL. He is good at putting away easy volleys. He just wasn't getting many easy volleys from Federer with just about every return dipping at his feet. On the other hand, Murray's flatter groundstrokes gave Zverev way more easy first volleys.
