Alcaraz is sporting a new cut at the Hopman Cup. Looks good.

This may be the most humorous post I've ever seen on TW. I mean, if you have a small stringing service, maybe. But just to be "organized?" I donated more than 50 racquets to my local junior tennis league when I moved to FL about 3 years ago, and only moved about 12-15 racquets. I'm back...

Bevel 4 or 8 for me. The other one for overgrips.

Tourna makes a 1.5mm version of the Pro Thin grip, called the Pro Tour. I dont think TW sells it, but TEx does. Both of those Tourna grips are good choices. (The other Tourna grips are not as good.) As a long-time Skin Feel user, I didn’t like the new Bab Syntec Team Feel (white) grip at...

Good ideas above, but instead of shortening your racquets, just get some junior length frames. Don’t worry that you’ll look like an idiot; I suspect that secret is already out. If you must shorten your frames, make sure to cut at least 3 inches off. If you decide that’s too much, you can...

Dunlop Grand Pfix.

Not sure exactly what you’re asking, but if it’s whether handle pallets can get adversely affected by continually removing and re-stapling butt caps the answer is yes. At least the Head TK82 and TK82S pallets can. It’s not a big deal though, since it takes a lot of changes, and you can always...

It's probably just me, but that automated line call voice is like finger nails on the blackboard. Why can't they use a random mix of 10 calls or so, instead of the same recording every time. Same pitch, same volume, same tone, same intensity, same everything. Time after time after time after...

I've never been able to watch Azarenka due to her shrieking. A lot of players grunt or make noise, but the only one that really bothered me was Azarenka. I think it was the pitch. But watching her at RG I noticed that she's not doing that any more. Just the normal "grunt" now. Totally...

That's interesting info, and thanks for doing that. Another piece of info that would be useful is the width of each bevel, although it may be that the dimensions you provide (including the "circumference") are enough to calculate the other dimensions and angles. I'm pretty sure that if I had...

I just survived my first summer in FL and was shocked at how much the humidity affected me. Wrist bands didn’t help - my palms sweat too much. Tourna is soaked in 20-30 min. I ended up using Dunlop U Sweat and changing racquets every 30-45 min. It gets as wet as Tourna, but plays better when...

What a great thread. Thanks to Moon Shot for starting it, and thanks to Dakota60 for reviving it.

My experience is that the thin synthetics do not absorb more shock/vibration than leather, or at least compared to 1.5mm leather. But they do make the grip feel smaller. IMO the Tourna Pro Thin is the best at that, and if you use a softer overgrip, like Supergap, it’s a decent feel...

Depending on where you live, there may be good “public” options, or there may not be. And that may be true for 12 months of the year, or for only 6. The main reason to join a club is to avoid having to play tennis with people who think $325/yr is too much to spend. :) But if you’re focused...

After playing with speeds for the past 4 generations, I recently switched back to my 22mm beam models, particularly the Graphene XT, but also messing around with an old Touch. I just like the old 22mm beam feel. I did change my 16x16 frames to 16x19 though. And added some weight to make them...
