Good tip. I had some generic PSGD from Klipper that was too heavily coated in silicone and slipped through the gripper jaws and I had to wipe that down with nail poish remover (non-acetone). Worked...

I've not strung on the Gamma, but I've had no problems stringing poly on the K'mate. Once you get the estimate of how much to feed through the jaws (much less with poly over s/g & multi) it is every...

I tie off using a double half hitch which is easy to tie, doesn't allow slippage and looks professional. One thing I should mention is that I increase the tension on the last main by between 6 - 8...

Rafter comes to mind as an average junior who regularly got beaten up by other juniors (and also into the early part of his pro career) because he persisted with serve and volley tennis. Pat realised...

But in a sense it's refreshing to hear someone give an honest opinion even if it raises eyebrows. How many times do sportspeople give the standard "I'm just going to take it one match at a time" or...
