Booooooo! Do notice: This guy has small mannerisms of adjusting the left foot 2 to 3 times before serving... That could mean he is very attentive to his foot position... And his left foot did not move forward during the service motion... Nor did his right foot cross the line... Most...

What grommets you have that I can buy fits the ff... Prince Graphite II OS Prince Prodigy OS Thanks. Leo

that's really a legit argument...hehehe but it's hindrance up until their racquet hits your face...

Clay... Hmmmm, do you slide well? For me it's actually better to s&v on clay coz I move better on it, slide much... Don't serve too hard, this will give you more time to charge... Twist serve to the backhand and charge... Good Luck...

I experienced this: My crosses(multi) snapped and my mains(poly) were intact. My ballboy removed the cross strings only, leaving the mains which was very loose(like wet noodle)... So, I forgot about that racquet(it was not my main racquet) and left the mains there for 2 weeks or so... went on...

your eyelids close before it reaches your eye... so no...:???: and no that hasn't happened to me before, closed eyes or open...:)

ashaway kevlar... brown,braided,soft:???:

Sir, you should not be deciding, you should be practicing... You barely have a first serve and you're joining a try-out in 11 days? How good is your competition? Good luck anyway...

Here's some tips: 1. it feels pretty loose when gripped lightly during serves. 2. it doesn't twist too much in your hand when holding tightly during volleys. 3. it is comfy enough to whip on forehands. 4. you don't feel pain in hand/wrist after 1 hour hitting. and as you described, holding SW...

And never pause for anything until a weave is complete and thru the hole... And for the last cross, try to weave one at a time, saves you some pain, and is actually faster... Peace

There is no such thing as an over achiever in any competitive sport... Much less professional tennis...

HAHAHAHAHA Not for me man, my son's still 2...hahaha so your info came in handy... they said kareem abdul jabar was still growing at 40...yaiks!:?

NICE...TY...:) So a person can actually grow potentially taller if he does non/slow impact sports during his younger years...

Please do explain 'growth plates' further sir Rickson...:) Thanks...

Try using a 'more forward' motion than your regular groundstroke... The higher the ball the lesser pace it has left... so you're better off muscling the ball forward than using more topspin... My opinion...:)

Maybe they're trying to buyout Nadal... Just a thought...:twisted:

I don't even believe one should be conscious with the 'racquet drop'... just get to the trophy position (no matter how you start it, no matter what stance)... the 'racquet drop' will happen!!! as you push forward and up with your legs... as your body recoils powerfully towards the ball... the...

1 piece at 2 diff. tensions? won't the tighter mains pull on the looser crosses...

The iPM in my own words... "flexes nicely on groundies, yet somehow stiffens up for serves(which i particularly love), maybe it just flexes at the right parts of the racquet..." Unfortunately, MGPM cost a fortune ~$300 over here, no demos too...:cry:

I would suggest some upper body strength training/toning, but still use your regular racquet for practice... Makes you stronger and faster while keeping the timing... Peace

OOOOOOOOOOPs my bad... Veroniq already said it...

Nice thread... Subscribing now... Is the MG PM as good a serving stick as the iPM? Peace

You need to change your sig...:twisted:

Oh well, I thought you have to at least feel good hitting the tennis balls to really enjoy the game...:???: Kevlar/syn hybrids aren't really as 'stiff' feeling as full polys... Better pocketing I think relieves any feeling of stiffness for Kev/syn hybrids... But that's just me... No worries...

I don't understand this... Your joking right? Poly is too soft??? Maybe your stringer is doing something wrong... Maybe your tension's too high... Whatever... BTW, I believe a kevlar/syn hybrid will last longer than full kevlar or kevlar/poly... the softness of the syn cross preserves the...

To the OP... Based on experience, the main string will dominate the 'stringbed feel'... i.e. using softflex on the mains with poly crosses will create a 'little stiffer softflex' which i really like... Poly mains with multi crosses still feels like poly, yet softer...

invert the tour blend with softflex mains and poly crosses... very nice pocketing and comfort... do add some stringsavers to protect the softflex...:) Peace

Thanks man... So here's what I'm gonna do: String 1 raq now... String raq2 3weeks after(with my better/preferred tension)... Use raq2 after another week(after 1month using raq1)... and delegate raq1 as a back-up... I can then restring raq1 on the third week of raq2's use... and so on... I...

J, I have 2 raqs, I'm stringing them with BBO... I'm planning to or will play with the BBO for a month or until it breaks... Should I string them together now? And let the other fresh BBO stay on the other raq for a month not played? Or is this a bad idea? Will it loose too much tension if not...

Will someone raise their hand and say, "I have mastered the net cord serve!"
