    Seeking Advice: Editing Tennis Scores in Highlight Videos with Adobe Premiere Pro

    Great post. My highlight videos / match videos contain a scorebox and I follow effectively the same method. This would have saved me some time a few years back!

    Do you get what you pay for?

    Do they break more quickly than poly? Yes Do they have less spin potential than poly? Yes Are they less comfortable / less powerful than multi? Yes Are they dirt cheap? Yes Honestly. Lightning is really crisp as a synthetic gut and I like the crispness of it. Syn Guts have their place...

    Do you get what you pay for?

    I obviously can’t speak for “every market” but if I could only stock a few reels for my area it be like: Hyper G (Affordable Poly) Yonex Poly Tour Pro (premium poly that’s cheaper than Luxilon or Babolat) Prince Premier Control or Head Velocity (you will get the occasional person who...

    Do you get what you pay for?

    Woof. Indeed, even if you find a good deal on them or whatnot. I’m a tennis equipment hobbyist and I got a great deal on an Alpha Ghost a few years back and (I keep my equipment at my dads basement) the stringers room looks like a mini pros shop. And I don’t have the customers for it! I’ve...

    Any tennis shops in NYC or SF that will measure swingweight?

    **** (Are Pee Enn Why - all letters) in Manhattan. If there was a fee, it’s super small. I used to go there before I got a Briffidi

    Any helpful technique change tips for my groundstrokes (video)

    Thank you Chas. Makes sense to me. I’ll check out your videos. I always thought my hitting arm wasn’t lively enough or something but I see the lack of hip and shoulder separation. I’ll try to work on these with slow strokes in my next session

    I’ll try to focus on it when I get out on the court in a few days. Hard to break super old habits.

    Any helpful technique change tips for my groundstrokes (video)

    Went out today for a small session and tried to keep my non dominant hand up which helped the swing path it seems.

    Any helpful technique change tips for my groundstrokes (video)

    Thanks for the comments. I agree on the forehand comments. I'll work on being a little more open with my stance on forehand side. I feel like i'm chickenwinging it. Agreed that my backhand is more "dependable". It's not hit as hard as my forehand but on footage, it looks more like a fluid...

    Any helpful technique change tips for my groundstrokes (video)

    Not doing USTA this season because we couldn’t get enough players for our usual hometown team and I figured it was a good opportunity to work on my technique. I’ll first start with groundstrokes and then move on to serve and then volleys. I have access to a ball machine and can post more...

    The Phase One Technifibre Strings, Good for Me and Good for Medvedev

    Djokovic used to use X-One Biphase so it is definitely an excellent string. You can find pictures of him with the nBlade (I think) with the Wilson and Technifibre stencil simultaneously.

    Tennis Warehouse Playtest: Tecnifibre TFight 305 ISO

    Grateful to be a part of this play test and I will have a review and specs of the frame received within a week. Today I have 3.5M Regionals matches and really thinking about using this racquet to put it through the ultimate test. I won my friendly scrims against my teammates with it as part of...
