I don't know of any public indoor courts. Most people just play club tennis in the winter. A lot of clubs have special rates for just a "winter" membership and don't make you have to join for the whole year. Good luck!

You could just self rate- that's what I did. But before you do- I would play some local tennis first and ask to play against rated NTRP players and see how you do. Make sure they actually have a legit NTRP rating. I guess people have said a 4.5 in one part of the country may not be a 4.5 in...

I think there are two types of 3.0 players. I am a 3.0 player after playing 10 months. I took a year off due to injury and other issues. However, I consider myself a player that can improve (due to athleticism, amount I can play; ability to afford lessons). Here are the two types as I see...

Honz..yeah. I was pretty bummed. I am going to try the Becker and Volkl tomorrow in my lesson. Fingers crossed!!!

Thank you very much for your informative post!! I will check out the link!!:)

Interesting. Thanks for your reply! Looks like I will have to do more research.....

Yeah, my elbow (mostly- like deep inside my arm all the way around) and bicep REALLy hurt after playing today. I used this racquet on Saturday and felt ok. Just a twinge but nothing like today. :-( It's the demo so I guess it's strung with demo stuff. The problem is..like I said..I am...

I was wondering if ones choice of string can actually influence control. I have always played with natural gut but I was scanning strings and I sa some with control in their names. Is this possible (without changing tension)?

Um.......I spoke to soon. Played with racquet again (2/3 days) and my arm kills. I picked up my back up racquet and arm pain went away. So, back to the drawing board. I didn't like the Wilson Ksix one team suggested. I'll try retry the Becker Light and the Volkl Power Bridge 10...

Ladies and Gentlemen.......we have a winner!! It's the Dunlop Aerogel 4D 300 tour!! Thank you all so much for the suggestions!!!!:grin:

I found it...I found it!!!!!! It's called Guts and Glory: http://www.***********************/home/gg2/page_36/tennis_elbow_relief.html Hmmm...for some reason the address won't come up. I guess for all interested just try googling guts and glory tennis elbow.

I thought the one Hingis through against Graf was a pretty good tantrum!!

Well, I tried to do a search and read through a bunch of posts but can't find it. :-? If it somehow pops in your head (not that you don't have more important things to think about) than please post it again!! Thanks so much!!

Thank you both. Good websites but not the one I was looking for..... :-( The one I am trying to relocate broke racquets down by degree they cause arm problems; ranked the best arm friendly racquets; and listed the specs on the "ideal" arm friendly racquet characteristics. Hmmmm. Thanks...

I don't have it saved anymore and thought it had great information. It ranked the racquets and showed racquets that have caused arm problems. It also talked about best traits for an arm friendly racquet. I know...not much to go on. Does this ring a bell at all? It use to come up a lot on...
