Try the new Wilson BLX Juice 100L that is coming out when the Steams come out. My son tested it for Wilson and really liked it. Its 10.4 or 10.5 strung weight so its a little heavier than the Blade Lite. It also is 4 Pts HH instead of 1 Pt HL like the Blade. Here is the link on Wilson site -...

Here is a video that USTA released on 10 and Under Green Ball - http://youtu.be/sTK-gRwaJ5o What i don't understand is how sections can vary so much on what ball is used for what age group.

Texas - have both orange ball and green ball in the 10s. I believe you have to have so many points or tournaments won to move from orange to green. They must move to green ball the last 6 months they are eligible in the 10s. In both Southern and Northern Carolina sections they have both...

The latest in Georgia was that they were creating a 11 and Under age group that was full court green dot ball and had a 11 and Under tournament. Now USTA decided that they will not create the 11 and under age group and that all Level 4s and 5s for the 12s will be green dot ball in 2012. Level...

No i appreciate it. I remembered that several people on the board had taken their kids down to Macis so I thought i woud ask as my son knows several of the kids through Little Mo who go down during the holidays. My comment was more to all the bashing of of each other as well as the kids by...

It is truly amazing how you can ask what you think is a rather simple question about a camp (not privates with Rick Macci) and end up with the 132 posts like this!

Interested in parents feedback that has had their child attend Macci's tennis camp that has a young tennis player (12 years or younger). Our son is 8 years old and we are thinking of having him go over the Thanksgiving break. We have heard that they have lot of good kids 10 years and younger...

My son is just turning eight. There was no formal quickstart when he started playing tennis at age 4 so it was just a training tool to teach him tennis not for competition. He used orange from 4 to 4.5 He used green from 4.5 to 5.0 He used regular balls from age 5 on. He started playing...

Thank you very much for your recommendations!

Outside of course of Bollettieri in Bradenton. Can anyone recommend a decent tennis academy or coach for our son to work with. We are just going to be down in Sarasota on vacation next week and he would like to spend an afternoon or two playing tennis - maybe a private lesson and then join in...

Thank you for posting - i finally found it and i was confused between a standing and a ranking since i am new ot this and that was the problem - but now understand. Thanks Again!

I have a USTA rules question if anyone can help. I have looked on USTA websites and have found no specifics so I need some help. A parent told me that if your kid plays in a tournament that is designated as a "State Championship" tournament, that you are not allowed to enter in any level 5...

In the Southern Section, where QS is mandated for 10U starting in 2011 the ranking points will be the same as the 10U ranking system now and they will have different level of tournaments within the 10U including state championship. This is all 60 foot courts - orange ball. We are hoping they...

My son's coach has been video taping his serve. My son is 7 years old and he taped it two months ago after changing it and then he recorded it again this week without the coach correcting him to see if he is truly able to execute the new serve more consistently. My son came home and said he...

Great for you! I would sign J up if we lived in Macon. Have you heard anymore about the USTA High Perfomrance Training for 7/8 year olds. I talked to the head at our academy who is supposed to be tied in and he was not positive about the training but said he would check into and because of...
