    Crowdsourcing a good reply to a crazy USTA captain

    A USTA captain is giving me a lot of flack for missing ONE practice and asking for a reason/excuse as to why I can't come. Can someone help me think of a funny response? Not worried about burning bridges.

    New Demos: Welcome your suggestions

    I think the Extreme MP is the ticket - tigher string pattern in the middle and a really good all around record with some comfort (very plush)...

    San Diego Aug 18-19 (barnes clay)

    Hi folks, Anyone want to fulfill this tennis players dream (4.5 +/-) and play on the red clay at the Barnes? I haven't been to the Barnes since it was installed, if anyone has inside knowledge is it tough to book time? Willing to cover full fee - thanks!

    Tennis Warehouse Playtest: Wilson Pro Staff 97 and X v14

    I playtested the Pro Staff X. It’s a great racket, and although it might not be 100% suited to my particular game and skill level, the thought of “you should switch to this racket” cropped up every time I got into the hang of using it - the “racketaholic’s dilemma”. String and tension used for...

    Shoe struggles

    Looking for some shoe advice - I've been striking out and having to waste time returning shoe after shoe. Some history: my favorite shoe ever was the Nike Ballistec 4.3. It may be a bit heavy for my liking now but found it to be the perfect fit. I have a medium width foot, very flat feet, and...

    Tennis Warehouse Playtest: Wilson Pro Staff 97 and X v14

    Some first impressions after 3-4 hitting sessions (testing the X): The paint job is awesome. I know some folks are partial to blacked out frames but the brown/bronze paint job is unique and looks stunning (especially with a black string). The matte-ish finish is beautiful - one of my favorite...

    Slightly softer + spinnier than Black Code

    Been primarily using black code for 10+ years but in my non-stop tinkering looking for something similar but a bit softer feeling and a little more spin friendly (maybe a more aggressive shape or textured)?

    Sinner, Musetti, Berrettini - over/under majors

    Sinner doesn't excite me at all, maybe I'm missing something - is it just the Alcaraz match at USO?

    Racquet purchase regret.

    Probably the right decision, if I spent all my time focusing, researching, chatting about, etc. about gear on actually improving my on court game, I'd probably be a much better player.

    Sinner, Musetti, Berrettini - over/under majors

    And who is the most likely to win multiple (I'd pick Musetti)?

    Tecnifibre Razor code carbon - best version?

    Personal opinion, it's the second worst tecnifibre poly (only better than the new razor soft). Too stiff, drops tension, mediocre spin... Black code and red code are both amazing strings.

    Extreme Tour questions...

    Put 2g at 3 and 9, 1g at 6, fixed stability issue for me

    Extreme Tour questions...

    Everyone is right. Ext tour needs weight. Big flat and heavy kick serves got nothing on returns.

    Extreme Tour questions...

    I would demo. I'm playing against a pretty big hitter with the extreme tomorrow will report thoughts. Fwiw I wasn't a fan of the speed mp. It felt to me like a counter punchers racket and that's not my game. No control on flat hitting and too much power. Was great for slice and getting tough...

    Extreme Tour questions...

    I think both are great rackets. Head is doing great stuff right now. I prefer the extreme - it gives me more pop on first and massive kick on second serves. The Radical was surprisingly amazing for flat hitting but I love the extremes mix of soft feel and power/spin. Not sure there is anything...

    Extreme Tour questions...

    I'm currently trying out the extreme tour and radical mp and find the extreme to feel substantially softer. The radical feels very boardy to me. For you the extreme might even feel mushy. I also feel the weight is quite different. The extreme definitely feels faster. The radical feels pretty...

    K-Swiss backpack (blue)

    Any body use the KSwiss backpack posted on TW? Can it fit 3 rackets (many 2 racket backpacks can)? How tight would it be with 3 rackets + shoes in the shoe compartment? Thanks!

    Copying from the main Gravity thread: Anyone hit the Auxetic Gravity Tour that can compare to the previous version? I will be in Europe in July and wondering if I should buy/upgrade sight unseen or just stick with the old version. I am too attached to the racket to ever switch, so seems like I...

    Anyone hit the Auxetic Gravity Tour that can compare to the previous version? I will be in Europe in July and wondering if I should buy/upgrade sight unseen or just stick with the old version. I am too attached to the racket to ever switch, so seems like I should pick up at least 1 unless people...
