Must check for right underwear before serve.

My thought exactly. Solid technique, I'd love to see a bit more weight transfer forward and more extension on the follow-through, otherwise all the fundamentals are there.

I'd strongly consider the new Technifibre Tfight ISO 305g, that combines power, control and feel. It is a viable competitor to Pure Strike. Pure Strike Tour is a perfect combination of power and control, with low string tension it plays comfortably. Give it a try if 320g unstrung weight and...

@atatu How many times per week do you practice Pilates?

This is crazy:

I agree with OP. Fake serve should be considered a fault, just like a failure to connect with the ball on a regular serve. In our sport, the point starts after the serve is made. The fake action indicates the start of the point, so if the serve is not delivered, the player faults.

My understanding is that the Zone is a more continuous and flowing experience. My experiences are very brief. It's as if everything becomes more vivid and hyper-real just for a split second.

@Chas Tennis I actually hit with decent topspin, including the winners I mentioned.

I sometimes have these experiences when I see the ball extremely clearly for a brief moment, just fractions of a second. Usually after i hit a great shot, rarely right before I hit the ball. Time slows down, I see the ball shaper, observe its revelations as if in show motion. Usually I have...

With 335 SW, looks like a promising alternative to Pure Strike Tour 3G. I remember Tenncom from Youtube saying that RS plays similar to PST but slightly better. ISO looks like improvement over RS in terms of SW. My only concert is 305g weight, as I really gelled with my 320g racquet and its...

I would suggest Head Speed Pro (2022). Same head size of 100, a bit lighter, similar SW, nice low flex of 60, decent vibration frequency of 140, excellent reviews. Also worth considering: ProKennex Ki Black Ace (315g) Wilson Clash 100 Pro v2 - 2022 Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100 (310) - 2022

He will get back to peak form by the time Babolat launched Pure Strike Gen 4, that is in 2024 :-)

@socallefty You and I believe PST is "very plush", but most reviewers do not recognize it as such. I wonder why. Maybe did not spend enough time with the racquet to find the right string setup?

@socallefty I always wondered how PST compares to Pure Control Tour - I think you played with the latter?

I second @Bunco 's suggestion - Lotto Raptor Hyperpulse 100. Cushioning is nice, firm and elastic, not mushy at all. Foot doctor Zach of Youtube fame said it's the best shoes in 2022, and that grabbed my attention. Lotto has some special compound material from a partner company that promises...
