    Blade v5 18x20 vs Blade pro 18x20

    Hi guys, I'm currently using a weighted v5 18x20, and the blade pro caught my eye. I used the BP 16x19 briefly and really liked it - my main complaint was that my balls were too loopy, which I think is due to the 16x19. My question is: how would the v5 18x20 compare to the BP 18x20? And how...

    Rackets similar to older Radicals?

    I've been wanting to try out some of the older Radicals, especially the LM, since I want to see why so many people like these frames. I wanted to know what plays similar so I can get an idea of how the racket plays compared to the ones I've tried. My question is: What rackets are closest to...

    Leander paes head racket specs

    I recently got my hands on Leander paes' old head racket. It's in the speed pj from around 2011-2013. Looks to be a 27.5", 16x19 racket. Head size seems small, perhaps a 95. Does anyone know the specs and what model he is using?

    Sho Shimabukuro Racket specs

    Hey TT, does someone know what racket Sho Shimabukuro is using? I have been watching him lately and love the way he hits his forehand on the rise - it's something I've been trying to incorporate into my game and he's a perfect template for that. His racket PJ is of the vcore, but don't know any...

    Is it worth it to watch the olympics in person?

    I'm debating whether or not I should get tickets for the Paris Olympics once they get released... mainly for the tennis olympics, but it would be interesting to also watch some of the other sports for a bit while I'm there. On the tennis front, is it worth it to watch tennis olympics in-person...

    Softer version of Kirschbaum Max power

    I recently tried max power in my 18x20 blade, and I liked the pinpoint control and good spin. However, it was a bit jarring on my elbow... do you have any recommendations for a string that has amazing control like max power, but is a bit softer? Or, is there a hybrid I could try with max power?

    Wide speed/lightweight shoes

    Hey TT, I'm looking for some wider lightweight tennis shoes. I tried out the vapor pro 1, and while I really liked the feel, it was just too narrow for me, and if I went up half a size the shoe became too big... Are there any lightweight/speedier shoes out there that are also on the wider side?

    2015 blade 18x20 vs V8 blade 18x20

    Does anyone have any experience with these two sticks? Currently playing with a 2015 18x20, and I'm wondering if I should be stocking up or if the v8 plays like the 2015. I've hit with the 16x19 v8 twice, but it was a different string and tension so no maybe not super accurate. If anyone has...

    How to ask if a hit is paid?

    Basically, I ran into a parent the other day who was looking for someone to hit with their son, and said that they give 25$ to high level players to hit with their son. This was back in january... I reached out to them and asked if they were looking for someone to hit with their son, and we have...

    Is Jack Sock sponsored by On?

    I was watching his match at USO and noticed that he was wearing On shoes... never seen anyone but Fed wear On shoes on the ATP tour. Not sure how to post a pic, will figure out how to do so if requested. On a side note, he's still using the old Aero paintjob instead of the new one...

    Blade 16x19 vs Ezone Ai98

    Hey tt, I'm hoping I can get a comparison between these two frames. I currently use a Blade 16x19 cv with a leather grip, and I was wondering how the ezone ai98 would compare to it in terms of power, spin, control, maneuverability, etc.

    What is a good frame for a consistent but offensive topsin baseliner?

    Title says it all. I like to hit with a pretty good amount of spin off both wings because of how much consistency and security it gives me. I generally take the ball earlier and like to move the guy around the court. T I also like slicing and coming up to the net and hitting touch shots so being...

    Hey TT, title says it all. Do you have any recommendations? I was considering an 18x20 blade, or an rf97. I want a slightly higher launch angle, but not too much higher.

    How to counterbalance weight at 3 & 9?

    I am thinking about adding weight at 3 and 9, but I want to counterbalance it so my balance remains the same. Where would I have to add weight to balance the racket? It's a prince 93p 18x20 btw, in case it helps.

    Does putting lead in the throat add to the swingweight?

    I'm looking to increase the swingweight of my racket, but at the same time I don't want to drastically change the balance/power/sweetspot. Would adding lead in the throat allow me to do this? I just want the racket to have better plow through but still feel the same.

    Thin polys with good tension maintenance?

    Hey TT! I am currently using 19g Cyclone at 48 lbs in my 93p. I absolutely love the string and can consistently paint the lines... for 3-5 days, and then I start losing control (balls start flying, perhaps harder to get spin but not sure). I like the thinness of the string, spin, and that it is...

    Getting more spin out of a poly/syn gut hybrid?

    I currently use kirschbaum MP 17 mains/psgd 16 cross and I just need a bit more spin, but don't want to change the feel of my setup too much. What setup would feel similar to my current one, but just giving me more bite on the ball? Thanks TT.
