I know the commentators need a job on T2 tennis channel but the commentary distracts from the live match. It’s like they’re yaking so they can hear them selves talk. Incessantly they talk on topics that have no relevance at all to the match. I don’t see any value in this amped up commentary. Super annoying.
One of my favorite things to read on TTW, are all of the stories by league captains on how they try their best to navigate league rules, appease players, while just trying to have fun playing tennis. I started tennis in my late 40s and really do enjoy it. Tennis has provided me an awesome outlet for exercise and socializing with adults that I did not meet at work or through attending kid functions.

Yeah at the end of the day it's about the people you meet and the relationships formed over tennis, the other stuff is secondary (y)
Hello Eric,

I saw one of your post were you had mentioned about using SKOG Bands in tennis tutor throw wheels. Tried this and this doesn't seems to be working as the band expands and makes sound while rotating. Do we have to stick them to the wheels? Can you please share photos of yours if possible? My email ID is santoshpoornaraj@gmail.com
Hi Pete, you are my first post on this site. Never done this before. I'd been playing every day of my life between age 12 and about 55. used to just about live on the courts - 6 to 8 hours a day. I have strung professionally for about seven years. All of this so I believe that I know a little bit about tennis. The key - "fixative spray."
Hi. I had a customer bring me a Pure Drive 110 and the grommet set for the racquet. Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble installing it as it seems the grommet holes and the holes on the frame do not line up. Any suggestions on how to make the process easier? I've tried using a heat gun with little success.
I'm using a gut/poly hybrid. I have been using Luxilon Element 16L which plays the best of all the ones I've tried. I usually string at 48/45. The Element plays well but it only lasts about 4-5 hours of doubles before it stops snapping back. Since I got a bunch of sets for $9.00 each I can't complain. Which Tru Pro poly and which gauge would match up well as a replacement for Element 16L? Thanks!

Hi there,

In general, a lack of snap back is unavoidable when you cross a poly with gut. Based on all the information provided, Black Knight might be a good option.

We will release a new poly string mid May that we are very excited about. If you see PURE RUSH on our website in the future, I would give that string a try :)

Thank You, I will try Black Knight and Pure Rush, when it's available.
Hi, what racket did you finally end up with?

Hi, Wilson Blade 100 v8. With 2 grams at 2 and 10. It has everything, I miss a bit of power in the serve and some open angles as I did with the Pure Aero VS, but overall is really stable and reliable.
Just a head up...Your account is not set up to accept DMs so potential buyers can't contact you about the FX500s you've posted for sale.
Bought a racket from Brian. Excellent experience, highly recommended.
Hi! I'm curious to know if you ever found a good replacement for your Head Radical MP LiquidMetal? I'm stuck trying to find a replacement. Best regards, Nikolai

Hi. I have a Babolat star 5 and my machine just gave me an error code 5 While I’m stringing for a wta tournament. I can’t get it to restart or to pull anymore. Any advice as to how to fix the problem or do I need to send it in.
Please let me know.
Thank you,

Hi. We are the USA/Canada distributors. I tested the contact form on the manufacturer website, spinfiresport.com, and it does work. Their email is info@spinfiresport.com.

Thank you for your reply!
Just 2 hours ago I managed to send message via contact form BUT
If I chose "Support" from "What is your enquiry about?", I couldn't submit the form.
Then I tried "Other" (I had to write my machine serial number and software versions into
the message field) and now there was no problem!
BTW, my issue was that the feeder motor isn't working properly. I have a Spinfire Pro 2.

Glad you received it. Emails and computers sometimes do not co-operate at all. Take care my friend.
I have not heard from you Steve. I know you are going through some family health issues. I am not trying to bug you. I am just making sure you are okay. No rush in sending me a message back. I am just letting you know I am thinking of you and your family. Prayers and best wishes to you and your family my friend.

@atatu, I wanted to let you know that I started a team last year with ATL with players in my HOA. This season, Onion Creek has three (3) ATL teams competing out of their club with instead of USTA. I would be awesome to get more HOAs that have local tennis courts to form teams and compete.

That's great ! I agree it would be nice to get more HOA's to put teams together.
hi I read you strung for pros in the past. I am looking for a white prince magnesium pro 90 (pioline). do you have this racket? regards
Hi Wes, I wanted to share something on a previous topic but I can't find it. Are some topics removed from the forums? I remember you asked about the new Tourna stringing machines 550-ES, 175-CS when I'd posted about them, but can't find that thread in the forums. Anyway, Tourna said they'd hopefully be in stock in March.

Wes
You had shared that Tourna information via our private "Conversation". So, look there.

It wasn't in a public "thread".
Hey Valerie, just wanted to touch base to see how your setup search for your Percept 100D is going? I responded to your post on the thread to hopefully help you with your search. Curious though what your prior racket/string combo you were using and what was the impetus was to make the switch?

Hello @Pooschnikens sorry haha took me a while to reply as I was just busy dealing with a new apartment! Just replied to you on the thread :)
Pooschnikens
Pooschnikens
No worrys and congrats on the new place. Main thing I was trying to figure out was what specifically is not seemingly working for you. As I wrote previously, was I correct with my blind analysis regarding your swing style and what may be going on as far as problems with the switch.
@Gamma Tech - Hi Gamma, Can you provide a list or brochure or link showing all the base clamp models you current have for your stringing machines?
Gamma Tech

I don't have anything like that available unfortunately, but you can contact support@gammasports.com for information on all of our current products.

I'm also trying on that too but communication is pretty slow since I have nothing to look at and don't know what's out there.

Is there any way you can make a list of all base clamp models and add few biggest features for each? Also pricing will help too.

Thanks!
Hello, further to your post #129 in the "Gravity" thread, requesting a brief synopsis for 911 and JFK, please. Thanks!

Hello nam, thanks for writing.
I'm not sure the best way to do this. I tried to post a reply and got a message saying there was a 420 characters limit.
That's just a few sentences!

So I can try to break this down into around 10 replies or so, or perhaps reply to an e-mail address?
Let me know.

Hello Michael,
I have seen that you speak very positive about dyreex strings and especially their multis. I ordered some sets to try and I am thinking of doing some hybrids with perfect touch and spiral in the mains and some slick polys in the crosses (fibermax pro and whisper). Do you think it's a good idea or they are too soft and the poly will saw into them quickly?
Best Regards
M
michael valek
Enjoy. And I think round polys won’t destroy the multi cross too quickly. Perfect touch is very nice.

Arzivu
I hope so. 6-8 hours with good snapback and not crazy movement would be ideal for me!

I tried them all. Perfect touch is my favorite. Superior feel!
Hi Tornes, I have really enjoyed reading your work about peak, prime, post prime ages of players careers and how it impacts on results historically. I was wondering if you could update your work with new images because the links seem to have expired.
Kind Regards,

Good evening sir, I'm messaging you in regards to the DR 98 I just purchased from you. You told me yesterday that you would provide me with a shipping label. I have asked for it multiple times to no avail. I need a shipping label or I will be taking action to get my money back.
Hi
As I see you were able to help with head pro codes some time ago, but now it’s impossible?
Is it still possible to find such info somewhere? Cause I owned a Gravity frame with some code on the throat and wondering who was using it.
Thanks in advance
Two high-quality racquets were delivered as promised and quickly. Easy to work with!
hi my name is Dan.i am new to this forum.im not very good on the computer but i can play tennis well.so my question is can i send in a pic of myself in a trophy pose to ask a few questions on my raquet drop.if i can how do i do that.do i use a cell phone pic???thanks DAN.
Hi TripleB—I saw that after a lot of testing you were settling on Kirschbaum Evolution. How was that in a full bed? I'm comparing to Tourna Big Hitter Silver 1.25, which I like but find to be quite firm. Tossing up now between Big Hitter Blue vs Kirschbaum Evolution. Would appreciate insight from your experience playing them.

Thanks...had Total Knee Replacement surgery back on May 1st so I'm not sure when I may be on the tennis courts again. Had taken up pickleball (less movement and no sprints for my knees) but some heart concerns have forced me to stop that until they can figure out what's going on. I hope you find your go to string set up...I remember it was a long and tedious process for me.
TripleB

Of course I was looking for perfection instead of just being content with a great string set up. Luckily pickleball paddles don't have strings LOL I appreciate the well wishes...have a fantastic week!!! And good luck with your search!
@Gamma Tech I have a 6500ELS and the tension adjustment knob is stuck very tight. Upon removing the cover, I noticed there is a long threaded screw attached to the tension knob with a plate on it and a spring with a hex screw at the end. Despite using WD40 around the plate, I have had no luck in getting the threaded rod to turn through it. Can you help me rectify the issue?
Gamma Tech
Gamma Tech
Hi there, if the threads are seized it means that something on there is stripped, and because the 6500 is about a 20 year old machine I no longer have parts to replace those unfortunately. You'll probably be best off with a new stringer.

Carson
Thanks for your reply Bret.
Hi Geoff

Hope all is well. I saw that you own a Babolat Star 4 machine and Albert was able to help you fix the machine. I am having the same issue with my machine as the tension head does not move. I was wondering if you know the name of the transformer you bought years ago to fix the machine. Worse comes to worse I may consider buying your machine for spare parts. Thanks
