How about new Head Speed MP, is it a good racket for someone who has some tennis elbow issues? Stiffness: 62 - but that's just on paper.

Sorry for reviving the old thread. In the end, can someone 100% confirm if Wawrinka has some lead tape around 12h position or not? It was visible while he was using Head racket, but not on Yonex. Also, please post pictures or at least explain where did You get the information from. Thank You!!

Is it even possible to hide the lead tape at 3 and 9 on frames like aero storm?

The only picture where lead tape is visible is this one: lead tape at 3 and 9. On all other pictures is it not visible - is it possible that its somehow hidden, or its simply at 9 o'clock and hidden by the plastic? Thanks!

Ah never mind than, I am pretty sure I cant use 93 inch frame at 4.0 level, especially because I play on EU clay only. I guess any 97-100 inch Yonex frame will be good enough :)

more like 200$ :) Wasn't he using 98 inch head size for the last few years?

ok great, thanks a lot! Which frame could I buy so it is the most similar to what he is using/used in the past? Thanks!

Its just that on some pictures the handle looks longer than normal, I guess some Yonex rackets are like that. How do You know that it was standard length?

I have searched the forums but I couldn't find definitive answer. If someone knows the answer, please post here. Thank You!

Almost all ATP players do not take a looping back-swing like I do (on backhand). They do what some call inverted smile, it is a more compact non looping backswing....I am having a hard time trying to copy that :(

I meant, I will try to copy Nalbandian backhand, which maybe isn't such a good idea after all because he is taller and stronger than me, plus way more talented :) Sorry for not so good English, it is not my first language.

Here is the forehand video My wrist and racket head drop too much below level of the ball, is that a big problem?

I am not sure, but I think I am arming the ball too much? I mean, not using my body enough... I think I am taking the ball a little too late, sometimes keeping it too short with too much spin and not enough depth. Sometimes I frame the ball, but always at the same spot (at 9 o'clock position...

Not right now, I will make one for sure. I am trying to change my backhand style to more Nalbandian like, but it is hard! I am uploading my forehand video, its a mess, You will be able to see in few minutes :(

Hello! Here is the video I am using this racket (with some lead tape at 3 and 9 o'clock) https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Yonex_EZONE_DR_98_310g_Blue/descpageRCYONEX-DR98PB.html Are there any major flaws in my backhand mechanics? I play on red clay only, so consistency is very important...
