    My UTR is Going to Hell !!!!

    UTR revenue driver is access to decimal point ratings for high level play. Who pays for that? Coaches, parents and gamblers. They don’t care about rec play or game improvement anymore.

    Advice needed.

    Agreed. My kid is #1 dubs but a toss up in singles. It’s really on him to win in singles when given a chance.

    Tommy Paul to Yonex

    Who still uses a 95 on tour?

    Seemed like Shelton had some of the top brass from Yonex in his box yesterday

    The kid is about to get a ton of money offered. No doubt he has not been paid Yonex yet. It was likely equipment and support to the max. I’m speculating but I am 90% sure he could walk away and sign with anybody. Believe me there’s a truck full of money waiting at Wilson and head.

    Get ready for the rankings war-ITF creating World Tennis Number for 2020. College coaches use WTN or UTR?

    When WTN was getting cooked up I was told it would be ELO based and not particularly dissimilar from UTR. I don’t know how past results are weighed. It appears that they are weighing a lot more matches in deriving the number. I think the accuracy will come over time and with dominating access...

    Get ready for the rankings war-ITF creating World Tennis Number for 2020. College coaches use WTN or UTR?

    I just took my initial deep dive into the WTN website looking at my kids data. Not going to sugarcoat it, I am impressed. They provide some information that UTR has abdicated like deep past results and heavy filtering. If this system can develop competition within the game zone that they...

    Get ready for the rankings war-ITF creating World Tennis Number for 2020. College coaches use WTN or UTR?

    The USTA kneecaps UTR ability to readily upload college scores, so UTR will fund college coaches to voluntarily upload the scores. How does ITA allow? Also, will the USTA or ITA now be uploading college scores? Has that been hashed out?

    I don’t know the swing weight but he replaced the synthetic grip for leather then an over grip. He uses random dampeners, 16 gauge tour bite. He has at least 4 inches lead on the slightly upper part of three and nine. (ironically or not, I saw a video that said this is where the sweet spot on...

    Hey LaGads - very well could be your stick! Thanks again. The whole opportunity for Karl to switch up was because he got yours in time to play with it all summer. He now has 5. Btw Andre and Karl partnered for first team all Big West conference in doubles in 2022. Karl is a now a sophomore.

    My guy has no complaints with his 16x19 TR960 after a week of stiff college tennis competition at ITA Regionals. He’s committed. Big thanks to guys on this board that sold me a couple early summer for him to demo. He’s got 5 now and ready to rock.

    16x19. He is a 20 year old Babalot hating, all court player and control freak. The accomplishment of the summer was him agreeing to try the stick. It took two weeks but he really did like it. He says it gives him more options on his forehand and the control he demands. Likes the serves. Saved...
