    A Reminder of what Real Power Tennis Looks Like

    Oh man. Love this! The kind of tennis I was emulating when it was happening, and is the tennis my friends and I played. So much fun then. I still attempt to play this way and the age of my game really shows compared to todays younger players.

    Save My Arm Please

    You are going to have to figure out the exact combination of things that are causing the injury. It is probably not nearly as simple as a racquet change. Textreme Tour and Phantom lines are easy on the arm but thin beamed players frames if you are just looking for racquet recs. The Tour 310...

    Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) Thread

    ............so........... very brief thoughts after playing with it just under 6 hours or so over 3 days. Not sure how to describe it accurately, as I do not have the ability to get swingweights, balance, etc. That said it was pretty over spec on static weight "unstrung" at 316. I put it back...

    Should Prince change its name?

    I wish them well as a company and hope they never go away. That said, I'm happy with my frames, and that's all that really matters isn't it? I don't care even a little whether or not they have sponsored talent. Threads like this always strike me as a bit strange. Changing their name seems...

    This doesn't make sense. I got my frame on 6-2 with no bundle. Emailed them on 6-4 advising them. They responded a couple of days later stating they were sorry and there were no bundles to send. They were all gone. Not sure why you have to wait until 6-14? I ordered an unstrung frame also.

    SF Bay Area middle aged man attempting epic comeback seeks hitting partner(s) 4.0-4.5-5.0

    This might be doable for me. Are you looking for match play or just hitting/grooving? I will message you next week probably. I can play anywhere SF/Peninsula. No East Bay though.

    SF Bay Area middle aged man attempting epic comeback seeks hitting partner(s) 4.0-4.5-5.0

    Intrigued by this. Where in SF are you hitting during the week? What courts?

    It's amazing how everyone has so quickly forgotten about Alcaraz

    I also notice these things OP. Makes me think that the median age for this sub-forum is probably pretty low. Not sure I've encountered a forum that is generally so susceptible to hype.

    Tursunov gives insight into the (motivational) problems concerning young players.

    Great read! Thanks OP! Highly recommend reading the full article.

    Ok should i switch to a multi or poly from syn gut

    Try this. Nothing plays better imo for arm health, and with poly as the cross you can go low and really get some power back.

    Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) Thread

    Keeping this updated. Received a few days ago but lazy getting it strung. It came in pretty far out of spec at 316, but I'm actually pretty thrilled about the weight going that way as opposed to under.

    I did not receive the free bundle either, but I didn't e-mail them about it for several days. They got back to me today, and apologized, saying the bundles are gone. Nothing to send. They credited my account 25.00 which is better than the bundle anyway. I'm totally happy.

    Well deserved. Excellent, excellent work. Mentally, physically, and tactically. Great to have on the WTA.

    Analysis of Zverev's game

    Poor fitness.
  16. Diablo XP

    Anyone else gain more respect for Zverev today?

    Respect? None at all. Child that relies too heavily on his father, emotion control equivalent to an 11 year old boy.

    Prince Official - Racquets

    My 310 arrived the other day, and I am pretty happy about the new cosmetic. Quite a bit overweight at 316! But this may actually feel better. My other five are within 3 grams of each other, but I am not sensitive to even pretty big variations while swinging, so as long as it offers the...

    US pro tennis- disaster

    Combination of everything you guys have touched on. Individual sports where you don't have anyone else to rely on (or blame) are not an easy sell to the on the whole, pretty damn lazy teens here. Tennis is very tough, and for the athletically gifted types, or the super hard workers, there...

    Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) Thread

    No. I like the 100. It is on the small side in my opinion. Feels more like a 98 to me than a true 100. That said, I've never played the 98 so who knows? Something to think about!

    Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) Thread

    Ordered one. Good product launch by Prince imo, and great pricing as usual. Will see if there is any perceivable difference in feel or stability. Proud to add it to my other 5 of last gen. Will report back here. Going to have it strung the same. Pretty excited.

    Couldn't help myself. Ordered a single 310. I have freaking five of the last gen. Will string the same, and report back if needed. Good job Prince. This launch was well done imo.

    Prince Official - Racquets

    I get it man. I have been a loyalist since I scrimped and saved as a teenager for my first "Prince Classic" I couldn't afford the pricier "Pro" at the time, and really liked the green better anyway. Took a brief period off with Head but have been all Prince all the time since the Diablo. I...

    Is djokovic like really strong to be able to pimp around with such a heavy stick?

    I get it. I have been an athlete for as long as I can remember, and currently participate in more sports than tennis at a fairly "obsessive" level. All of which "weight" plays a significant role. I am also a "gear guy" and feel like I am attuned to the minutia of marginal gains as much as I...

    What do you prefer between open and closed string patterns, and how much does it matter to you?

    It's kind of this for me also. You generally see this much more with open patterns. My favorite thing about the Prince Tour 310 is the drill pattern of the 16x18 in which almost if not every single "square" is the same size. Probably all in my head but it just feels better to me.

    Why can't I care for WTA?

    I have never understood threads like these. YOU are asking OTHER people why YOU don't care about something?

    Raducanu injured again!

    No grit. No determination. That is her problem. I need to go back and correct my post in the very first thread about her, right after she won USO. I stupidly claimed she played like top 50 pack-fill and nothing more. Should have said top 700 pack-fill. She is hilariously pretty worthless.

    Does Prince Textreme Tour 100P White ltd Edition have different RA?

    Best frames ever imo. I use the 310 and the drill pattern of this frame is just perfect. Yes the loud green inner hoop is not to my taste, but I don't really care. They play so good for me, I can deal with the juvenile graphics. I have 5 of them and will probably try the updated version.

    Is djokovic like really strong to be able to pimp around with such a heavy stick?

    I totally agree. Just a bit of a snarky comment on my part, directed at the OP. I think on this forum in particular, members place way too much importance on heavy frames. As if the heavier the static and swing weight of whatever frame they are posting about makes them appear to be a better...
