We’re going to be attending a couple of days of the Mutua Madrid this year and have some questions. We’re staying up on Gran Via and will need to take the 3 line to and from. With the night sessions, we won’t be done until late. Is the Mutua Madrid in a sketchy area and is the subway...

Just testing the waters to see if anyone is available to hit in Sedona during the dates in the thread. Not sure I can even carry a racquet down since we will be carry a lot of hiking equipment, but if there is anyone available to hit pretty much down the middle (I’ll be eight weeks post-knee...

62 year old who has not played much USTA the last few years (mostly because I’m a singles player, 55+ is just doubles, and with one singles on 40+ there is no room for an older singles player). Ranked top 100 nationally in 60 singles a couple of years ago, and had a total knee replacement...

Okay, so before I get to the punch line, I normally use USO extra duty balls, but about a year ago there was a period when all tennis balls were in short supply. I managed to get about ten cans of the Penn Championship balls just in case I ran out of the USO balls. I did try a couple of cans...

TL/DR version: Went to a neurologist today and was given a pending diagnosis of cubital tunnel compression syndrome. I have a follow-up nerve conduction study and meeting with a specialist/surgeon in about a month. Does anyone have a confirmed diagnosis of this, did you have any physical...

From an email: Due to the low number of registrations, the Level 4 Open Age Division Tournament at Vancouver Tennis Center on May 27-29 has been cancelled. Payments were not collected for the event and refunds will not need to be issued. Sorry for the inconvenience and please check back for...

Me and the missus are going to spend a month-plus in Italy next year. We're going to be landing in Rome as the Italian Open is underway, so from about the second week in May until some time in June. We'll spend a couple of days at the tournament, then travel to Florence, the Cinque Terre, Lake...

Should I have skipped one extra hole at the bottom for the outer crosses?

My wife and I will be in Providence on June 2-4 and seeing that I've never hit on a grass court, I'm going to take the opportunity to do so. I see on the web site that a half hour court rental is $100, and a lesson with an assistant pro is $150. My wife wouldn't really get anything out of...

With many thanks to @onehandbh I have a Chris Evert Autograph wood racquet for a wood tennis tournament at my club this summer. My question is were the Chris Evert Autographs built to be lighter and/or more flexible than the Jack Kramer Autographs? Dimensionally, the shaft feels like the same...

Okay, so don't judge me too harshly. I'm going to cheat to try and win our Club's upcoming wood racquet tournament. It hasn't been held in several years - I think the last time several people came down with arm/elbow issues so they didn't hold it again - until now. I had an old Jack Kramer...

I ordered two cases of the Babolat Gold championship balls from Tennis Warehouse since my normal US Open balls were not available from the factory which is how I normally get them. They've arrived and I hit with them for the first time today. Out of the can, they feel very pressurized - they...

I'll be staying at the Palm Springs Racquet Club from November 2-14. Our club has about 15% of our membership who have second homes in the area so I've got lots of hitting opportunities but was wondering if there are any forum members who might want to get together for some hitting?

After some eye opening matches recently, I've decided to give Tourna Black 7 a try. My normal string is 17 gauge Silver 7 Tour, which I string at 47/43 or thereabouts. Tennis Warehouse to the rescue - I ordered both the 17 and 18 gauge versions, because of the understanding that the gauges...

Has anyone tried repressurizing green dot balls? My wife just started playing tennis more frequently again. She had been a once-a-year player for the better part of a couple of decades but now will be hitting probably once or twice a week. She's got amazing timing and coordination despite...

Our tennis club will be celebrating it's 50th anniversary this year and are thinking of hosting a vintage racquet tournament, basically limiting it to racquets available in 1972. I know I can look individually at racquets - for instance I have an Arthur Ashe Comp 1 and I can find a source...

Does anyone have more information about the National Senior Games Association? https://nsga.com/tennis/ I've been looking for some open age group tournaments to play around my area and one of their tournaments just popped up. It's this one...

Due to a wrist issue that is again flaring up, I need to soften my stringbed a bit until it gets better. Having a bit more power while I'm hesitant to swing away as normal would be nice as well. Currently using 17 gauge Silver 7 Tour in an SW104 (18x19) with 48 pounds in the center mains and...

I'm looking to purchase just one racquet that is the same model as another one I recently purchased from Tennis Warehouse. I would like to just get the one that is the heaviest static weight out of a small number of racquets you have in stock. I don't need swingweight or stiffness - just the...

I've started using a racquet that has a pretty thin and meager grommet at the head of the racquet. I will scrape the ground with my racquet almost exclusively on underspin backhands, and because I hold the racquet typically in one orientation, it gets worn down in almost no time over about a...

As I enter the year when I can compete in the 60s age group, I wanted to work on a couple of things with my backhand to try to make it a bit more of a weapon. I cut down on the amount of topspin I'm trying to hit on a regular basis - I haven't hit on a Playsight court recently but believe I'm...

This being my first year eligible to play in the 60's, and hoping to be competitive, I've been considering making a racquet change to something a bit more forgiving since I just don't see the ball as well as I used to. Thanks to Tennis Warehouse, I received my demo box today. Currently using...

I just got an email from a guy with a T2000 who offered to pay me $50 to string up a T2000 with gut strings that he will provide. I've only strung up my own T2000 once and between figuring out how to mount it and then following that insane pattern it took me at least three hours. I figure...

@TW Staff Do you have plans to carry Volkl Cyclone Tour 18 gauge anthracite in reels? You currently have that gauge in red available in reels. Thanks.

Our tennis club will be purchasing a stringing machine to service our members. Expected stringing quantity isn't all that high - maybe 10-20 racquets a week. We have access to discounted prices for both machines and so the absolute difference is not that significant. It seems like a...

I'm stringing up a Clash Pro for an age group competitive 70 year old player who developed some elbow pain in the last six months. He's been doing a long term demo of a Clash Tour that I strung with Alu Power at 49 pounds and likes the control and feel with that combo, but would like to...

Today, at age 58 years, 9 1/2 months, I hit my first ever tweener! After numerous unsuccessful attempts over the past 30 years, including one time when I whacked my shin so hard that I reflexively pulled that leg in, only to find that it was the leg I needed to land on so I both face planted...

Was doing some cleaning up and found these that were being handed out at Indian Wells, I think in 2017. The two days before heading to the tournament, the temps never got out of the 40's, and the two days I was at the tournament, the temps were 99 and 96 degrees F. These were life savers...

The pandemic shutting down tennis in mid-March was almost a blessing for me. I had been dealing with a TFCC type wrist injury for about three months prior to that, and had been dealing with a pretty grumpy shoulder from a variety of chronic shoulder injuries since the previous October or...
