this is more the answer(s) I was looking for along with a few others above thank you. look at a player like CC Bellis (110 lbs) who can hit the ball harder than a 5.0 man (6' 200 lbs). Certainly there are little steps to be taken to get easy power without dropping our careers and families.

thanks for the input everyone :)

Even when stretched out wide inhibiting rotation this guy can crack the ball. I know he's been playing since he was 5 but what can I do to get some of that easy power? My forehand has enough power to beat 4.0s but if I'm playing a fast 4.0 or most 4.5s, it's not powerful enough for winners. I...

I added 10 grams of lead tape to my head liquid metal radicals (11.7oz now). I think many take the stock grip off and put it under that. I just wrapped 10 grams over the stock grip and then use two tourna grips (one "permanent"). Any pros cons to this? Hit with it and felt slightly bulky but...

great information.. thank you, OP

awesome thank you. i couldn't agree more that heel cushioning is important

Yes. Please tell me you live near Harrisburg, PA so I can hit with it for even 2 minutes lol

thank you :)

Very cool thank you . I did just try on some Nike Cage 2 (or whatever the new model is) and they seem the same.. low on the ankle. Thank you

Can anybody recommend tennis shoes that don't ride the Achilles tendon? I had a pair of Babolat shoes last year that cut into my Achilles tendon and since then, I have just an annoyance pain from it. It was part my fault for tying the shoes so darn tight.

I don't like poly cause it has very little trampoline effect, but I like its bite and spin on serves and aggressive ground strokes. How loose can I string poly to get more power or trampoline effect from it? The specific poly I'm speaking of is Cyclone original.. if that has any bearing on the...

good point

How tight? Like a standard volley? Thanks

Yes! That is him! Thank you much :))

We all know that a loose grip on groundstrokes is beneficial. But how loosely do you hold the racquet when your opponent hits a really deep penetrating ball that you have to almost half volley from the baseline?

lol nah, i forget and hoped somebody knew

another one that does it somewhat, but not the guy I am thinking of. He was a journeyman.

I didn't get into tennis until 2009 so it's hard for me to have an opinion, but I'd say Djokovic's cause his season was only challenged by JMac if I remember correctly.

Yes it is very similar to Tsonga's but exaggerated.

At Wimbledon 2014, a certain player on the men's side was serving with his right foot starting way behind him. Then his right foot would come forward to the pin point stance. The commentator was saying that on the deuce side, he was almost foot faulting by crossing the center hash mark during...

Federer's cc fh is not a natural shot for him. he should've stuck with his dtl fh as his go to shot especially on the run.

Federer needs to run around his forehand to hit his backhand every point so he gets practice hitting high backhands.

Federer and Wawrinka played average until the final set when Stan stepped it up.

7-5, 6-1 Nadal

Raonic in two: 6-2, 6-4

boring tennis. but only the minority hate him. the rest of us would rather go play tennis than watch his tennis.

great idea

I have to disagree on the placement bit. Sampras and Fed both have incredible placement. I agree the pinpoint seems to have a small power advantage (3-4% or so), but then look at a player like Raonic. Also, compare Djokovic (platform) and Murray (pinpoint). They are quite similar.

It will probably have more views than the final.

Oh shoot that's news to me
