Thanks. Got to be gentle with those laces I guess.

Just received a pair ordered off internet. Seems very tight in the toes. Exterior length is the same as my old 2k11s but something is very different on the inside of the shoe. Has anyone here had a...

My Dilemma
It all started with a comment from the instructor at a clinic. He said that I wasn't finishing my strokes (on both sides) "correctly" over the shoulder. I've never really paid much attention to where...

I completely agree with the comments to the effect that the shape of the follow through should not be the result of a conscious act but rather just a natural outcome of the swing path.

I'm pretty sure I've seen forehand instructional videos showing both high follow-through (over the shoulder) and the low follow-through (around the midriff).
Can anyone tell me under which...

Anyone Tried Wilson Hollow Core ?
I'll probably be buying a new racquet in the coming days, and I think I might as well get the seller to string it for me (TW will do that - right ?).

I got the 16x18 based on the assumption that an open string pattern may just that little easier on the arm. I have had arm issues as you have probably guessed. It's certainly...

PowerAngle Pro - Is it Arm-Friendly ?
I am on the look out for a more arm-friendly racquet. I'm not sure what to make of the PowerAngle Pro. I will probably get a demo, but in the meantime I am wondering if anyone here has any experience...
