Get him a nice Volkl or Pro Kennex with gut/poly when he comes back. Hope he gets better.

[db10s]

Have him do a few vids.... Maybe a vlog or something.

maybe he needs to go back to his heavier Wilson 6.1???

As the Doctor said to Graville while doing a procedure on his shoulder: 'It's a scalpel'.

But it doesn't come stock with leather grip. Sorry about that.

BTW, I love leather grip too!

Get well soon!

He liked the Vcore Tour 89 alot. He should go to that one and use gut/poly.

ive had shoulder probelms before when going lighter... with a lighter racquet..u have to accelerate the racquet faster for equivalent pop and the increased accelration/contact chaos could have caused arm issues

i say chaos cuz usually with a lighter racquet the contact/impact is more violent

with a heavy racquet,,,the contact is more stable and controlled and less chaotic

Thanks for the notes here - Tiff just shared the thread with me. You all are awesome - I feel missed.
9 weeks post shoulder surgery (bone spur was grinding away at my shoulder tendon.) My tennis elbow may have been a result of my adjusting to shoulder pain. Elbow now fine and shoulder feeling much better.
Started hitting again three weeks ago - twice this week - starting to feel good again. Still no heat on my serves - that will take a while.
Has given me time to re-evaluate everything, racquet weight, balance, string - everything. Have tested all the new sticks and I've now narrowed it down to just one or two - no more 6.1's for me (in the near future anyway.) I am amazed at how sensitive I am to just one or one and a half ounces - really an eye opener. As soon as the playtest team asks me, I'm back in mix. Happy to share all my testing - the racquet I am favoring is one I've never thought I'd play with.........
Again - thanks for thinking of me.

Gran, TW

oooo, a bit of a racquet tease. I like this.

[donnayblack99]

Granville- I've had two arthroscopic surgeries on my elbow and shoulder which ended my NCAA career. I played with the Wilson PS Classic 6.1 since about 1992 all the way throug college and up to 2000. That stick is a monster that will do hidden damage to your arm/shoulder that you won't feel for years later! I got those sticks with my player package and still have a couple left. How about you and get a huge bonfire going and put these 6.1's to rest! Haha

Anyway, after consulting with my team doctor and an orthopaedic specialist who happens to be a USTA doctor on site at the US Open during tournament time, he's treated more tour players (both current and retired) who used 6.1's for elbow/shoulder injuries, than any other racquet.

He recommends a Volkl/Boris Becker and Prince sticks to up and coming junior kids and others who he treats...

Stay away from a poly and stay away from a Prestige- look long and hard at a POG or a Power Bridge 10 or even a BB Delta Core London Tour. Played with them all, all great sticks. Never had a problem since dropping the 6.1.

Love,
Somebody who has felt your pain!

Just sayin...

C'mooon, show us a bit more leg please! Don't leave us hanging with just a cankle.

And speedy convalescence!

Maybe give the low tensions a try.
