    Big 10 Tennis

    DUDE, I don't appreciate the personal shots. I have one for you, take your time and read it slowly. Additionally I don't need a baseball headline. You have no ideas at all.

    Mayami strings

    Thanks for the knowledge. I jumped the gun, I just don't deal with small string companies since i'm using NG. I hope everyone is doing ok over there.

    Honestly i wonder how they are managing during the invasion. I may just order some string to give away.

    I hope they do well. Somebody was concerned about their order. The Andy Murray is right there on the website. If its a Ukraine company it has my full support. I can only play with Natural Gut now.

    Big 10 Tennis

    Nope and Nope. I said the incomplete matches. You said people would get up and leave after match has been decided. Like I said, nobody has any ideas. My plan is to play the singles matches to completion and play the doubles matches if needed. I can't see ESP/FOX being interested in...

    Big 10 Tennis

    NO, I never said that. I love tennis. I've watched D3 in my area and it frustrating when a match that I'm invested in ends because the out come of the team match has been decided. I'm aware of the run run etc. In baseball, it's one game not multiple matches. I indicated that maybe they do...

    they have a picture of a tournament from 2021 with Murray and Marchenko. i would thinksomething more current would be in order.

    Big 10 Tennis

    As I've stated before, it's ridiculous to play a singles match not finish it. If I had a kid playing and my kid was one game away from winning and the match was stopped, I would not be happy. what other collegiate sport does this besides golf most likely? even Dick Vitale was railing...

    we all know that tennis does not bring any revenue. Nobody has any ideas how to college tennis to masses. it's hard enough for pro tennis. for one, they need to stop with the incomplete matches.

    Extreme Cheapskates: Tennis Edition

    If you want to ruin your feet, then play with bad shoes. You can always find your shoes on sale at some point. I've never seen duct taped shoes. if you only play once a week, the racquet is not a big deal.

    Extreme Cheapskates: Tennis Edition

    I played with a group for ten years and one guy never brought one can of balls. I'm thinking most older people like myself, never buy tennis clothes new. we just be patent and wait for the sale. I will admit I'm always trying to get free t-shirt or something from any online tennis retailer...

    How much tension loss is acceptable?

    false. Everyone has a different game. You can't make a blanket generalization.

    Wilson US Open Balls feel extremely heavy

    You have a discount code from the USTA for $44 that you can use on a case of balls. The price of case is $120. the men use extra duty and the women use regular duty.

    Wilson US Open Balls feel extremely heavy

    I've had no issues with the new lid. My new Wilson USO are coming today, about a week after I placed the order. As far as I'm concerned that's the only worth buying with your $44 discount. This would work out well every year.

    Best natural gut currently

    interesting, you should feel fortunate that you have Klip. it hasn't been available for at least 6 months. I'm using Lux 17 NG. I prefer the Lux over Klip.

    Favorite strings and waiting for suggestions

    Poly is better most players because of spin potential, you just need to keep it in for short period of time. I like NG because my shoulder say so and playability is better for a longer period of time. I do miss the spin of poly.

    Feel good story of Delray-33 yo former Princeton player '13 get in Qs as alt, wins MD 250 match

    250 is just the number of points for the winner. it has nothing to do with money. The Doha numbers are correct. The draw for a 250 is 28 compared to a 32 for a 500. The 250 in Doha has almost double the financial commitment than Marseille. obviously it pays to play in the Middle East. I...

    Feel good story of Delray-33 yo former Princeton player '13 get in Qs as alt, wins MD 250 match

    I hear you. You made me laugh with this comment ' Some dont know when to quit'. I think two years is a reasonable amount of time. Steve Johnson is doing a lot better than Donald Young and Tennys Sandgren. it's almost impossible to make a good living. it's still an elitist sport in a lot...

    Tennis growing, competition declining?

    Ringers in Club Tournaments

    High school tennis being at least a 4.0, that is unequivocally not true. some high school teams have 3.0's. and lower.

    Kudos to you for being a captain of 4 teams. I'm happy getting in a tournament every other month in the DMV area. I've found the South to have the best tournaments.

    I love your passion for college tennis and I appreciate your response. This is Interesting stuff but how much money do these lower ranked guys bring home after expenses etc? I wouldn't compare tennis players to musicians, actors etc. A tennis has to travel to make a living for the most...

    Bathroom break during USTA match in middle of the set

    I only play tournaments now. Just played one in Asheville NC. I had a good time and met some good people. Unfortunately I couldn't afford to go the Biltmore. Tennis is not a team sport.
