If you really have to go poly then zyex monogut from ashaway. The guy who invented it came to grand slam stringers forum and gave us some samples to try out, this stuff is like gum, it is very elastic and arm friendly and has the characteristic of poly because it is polymer, it is the softest POLY in the planet. http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Asha...YEXMONO16.html when my kid was 8-9 I used gosen OG sheep 18g, it is the best synthetic gut on the planet. just plain jane 18g, nothing like it, string it low tension and she should be fine, |

If you need something a little more durable NXT Tour is good. Biophase hits and feels great but my 10 year old went ghroug it too fast.

Have used both, both have similar durability. Would however, switch to 16G instead of using the 17G x-phase. Wil get similiar play but longer life

gatennis.... Thanks for the link to HW website. I read and watched many of the videos. Very informative. My 8 year old daughter was invited to a weekend USTA RTC camp back in October and one of the coaches there was encouraging players especially girls to adopt the millenium style forehand.

IMHO, too much emphasis is placed on the straight arm forehand (as opposed to the double bend) in HW's description of the Millennial forehand. The straight arm is not the end all be all; many have succeeded wothout it.

Curious...

My kid takes losses hard immediately afterward and as long as I keep my mouth shut. After he takes some time to himself, he tends to define his emotions to me. Mostly, he says he hates to lose, even if he is the underdog (half of his matches in the 12s, he's 10). I dropped him a level, still 12s but not Open. He wins the tourney. No real elation, subdued reaction. I was pleased on both counts. He recognized his level and did not celebrate the mere victory and he was eager to go back up even if it meant more struggle. Bottomline, emotions are tricky. If she continues to improve with a subdued outlook that could be fantastic. If you detect a disconnect or maybe a connect between her emotional caring and her improvement and performance or lack thereof, then it could be a factor to monitor to avoid burnout. Here is to hoping she finds the love to carry her through the journey. |

Scientifically the racquet and arm together act as a third class lever.When one makes contact with a straight arm they are merely increasing the length of the lever arm.And simply following the principles of science when one increases the length of a lever arm they are more able to generate more force with less energy.

The other benefit to a leverage based forehand technique is that the technique mandates that contact be made further out in front of which means a practitioner of the leverage based techniques ball will always get to their target sooner then the one who utilizes a more flexed arm contact assuming both players are hitting the same spin,velocity and taking the ball off the ground at a similar contact height.
