As a 25 year old who is not entirely oblivious to what is and isn't hideous (wilson camo range for example) there seems to absolutely be a niche within the tennis world for a luxury brand such as yours. The bag you've posted looks super nice, and i think offering products which are functionally...

Is anyone able to comment on which they believe to perform better in a gut mains/poly hybrid - the pre-bt7 stuff or the current VS gut? I've seen some people theorise that the reason they switched to bt7 was to make the strings slicker for hybrid setups - can anyone weigh in on this? Is...

I guess I realise it lasts that long, but my dilemma is "is it still worth paying money for" i guess.

Hi guys, I live in Australia where all natural gut sets except Klip are wildly expensive. Klip retails for around $38 here, whereas VS/lux is around $80 (AUD) I have found a guy on a second hand site selling around 20 sets of VS that are 10+ years old (according to the guy) for $40 per set...

Honestly your best bet is just to spend the time reading through the threads that already exist (which it seems you've found by being drawn to these strings on this forum). Byebyepoly, dartagnan, Traffic and some other guys have made threads on Velocity FB in both colours, velocity origin...

Thanks mate, the feedback is much appreciated. I want to say that the grip just looks off because of how I'm tilting my racquet before I serve, maybe? But either way I'll double check it next time I go to play, and fix it up if it's a little off chopper grip.

I took a break from serving/tennis in general because I got golfers elbow, but I am back and have a small update: Pausing at contact to show pronation: https://imgur.com/a/Eue2qPE Full serve motion: https://imgur.com/a/6oiBWVd For some reason I learnt to serve by starting in the trophy pose...

Try head velocity in a full bed, or isospeed cream if you really wanna stay with gut/poly. Lots of ex-poly converts on this forum who've settled playing with velocity for arm health Edit: thought you meant gut/poly hybrid

Haven't tried black myself, but anecdotally in this thread the consensus seems to be: Spin: Black Comfort: Natural Control: Black Touch: Natural (?) I think String movement: Unsure Durability: People have said the coating on natural has held up better than black (I think the anecdote given...

Could these shoes possibly be more "Novak Djokovic" than this? "Sure, they're good at tennis, but they do not have one ounce of personality". Surely if you're tasked with designing a signature shoe for one of the best and most recognisable tennis player's of the decade you could come up with...

I have no idea what the highest scoring racquet was, but I have no doubt it will soon be a Prince racquet. I have ESP.

Anyone able to comment on the stiffness/harshness of revolve as a cross compared to yptp? I tried klip/yptp at 57/53 and found it too stiff personally. Was going to give up on gut/poly, but might try the set i have left over of revolve in a couple months time if it's considerably more comfortable.

Thanks, I have visited a doctor, had over a month off, and been diligently using a flexbar for several weeks. I no longer have any pain when playing tennis and feel ready to return to playing (recreationally) once a week, with a full bed of natural gut and a softer racquet. I'm just trying to...

I agree that it's likely a combo of things. I had recently been learning to serve with a continental grip, so I think learning pronation through a sort of "trial and error" process, some days maybe doing too many reps etc. Also poly strings, stiffer racquets, and to top it all off I have a job...

Hi guys, I recently had a relatively minor case of GE, after picking up tennis again only a few months ago. I bought a pure aero, tried gut/poly with stiff strings like 4G/YPTP, and made a whole heap of absolute rookie errors. One of the contributing factors, I'm beginning to understand, is...
