Wrap some wet sand paper on a 2x4 block and long even strokes to take a bit off. Don't go too crazy on it.

Sounds like you have a bright future playing 3.0 moonballers. LOL

I would say, restring your racquet with a good string and at a good tension. the prestrung racquets at crappy tire are nylon strings and a very low tension. try a half decent string, at a mid tension of approx 50 lbs and then see how it feels. this will give you more insight on what you may...

it's what plants crave.

@Bill. My first string job took almost 3 hours. Took it slow but still made a lot of mistakes and second guessing. I wish I recorded myself. Lol

Record him singing. Then let him hear himself. Lol

I've done one cap head racquet but with a poly. Other than the clean look of hiding the strings on the outside, what's the use of the cap system? It's a pain to remove the old strings and tough to see grommet holes.

so, are you now good to go? machine calibration aligned with the calibration tool you used?

from the instructions i was given. CALIBRATION-MT400 Device: one exact instrument (calibrator) for reference. 1\ Power OFF; 2\Turn ON while the "ENTER" pad is pressed; 2.1）When“Cal…”displayed，release “ENTER”; Then the MT-400 does self-test automatically; Then the MT-400 displays “45.0”...

did you shank it off the frame? bad timing of a topspin and the ball hits the frame. string snaps.

Instead of nail polish you can use a 2 part epoxy. Not sure how long it will last but it sounds like you're doing this to experiment and have some fun so why not. Do thin layers till you get the desired height then sand to even out. Probably sand at each layer application.

I just emailed prospro to ask about instructions on how to calibrate the mt400 seeing as there are no manuals online and they responded within a day and gave me instructions :)

that machine looks like the prospro hornet with the mt-400 tomcat turntable and clamps. https://www.pros-pro.com/en/stringing-machine-tool/stringing-machine/electronic-stringing-machine.html

Clean the clamps before you string with nat so you dont have to clamp as hard without it slipping. i use a small brass pipe brush and run it through the clamp both ways. Poly likes to leave a lot of "residue" on the teeth and it does build up over time.

If it's slow so you don't notice then you'll adjust accordingly. The reason I'm playing rec still is not because of the racquet.

Reasons not to have it 1. Easily circumvented 2. Another piece of electronics that can break. But this one will brick your car if it doesn't work 3. Mouth wash has been known the trigger breathalyzer results. Definitely not fool proof. Imagine you're late for work you mouth wash but miss...

i keep it safe. i will pull the length of the racquet head in the direction that i'll be stringing. so a 16x19 racquet, i'll pull mains at the longest point ( across the middle ) 16 times, then cut. then i'll do the same for the cross and pull 19 times at the longest point of the cross...

I bet these other machines talked about in this thread deliver to canada. how about you Hydrogen? still no? can't find a distributor. i'll do it as a side business. le me buy a machine and deliver to canada first so i can decide if i want to support something that i like. I'll even do the...

reason why they're returning the bombs - they dont have to hit back. they only need to check the serve because the pace of the shot will get the ball returned back in play. this is why slices are very effective in doubles to weaker opponents. they may try to redirect the bomb slice serve, but...

old school racquet colouring

Have you tried the reset button on the panel? White button

Why can no one create a Wear OS app for android watches? low demand? or is there a programming issue/compatibility issue?

it will need to scan the persons position at all times, and also scan for the ball return. but this would be a multi function machine which will probably record ball speeds for you, and other tennis relevant telemetry. hydrogen ball machine + multi directional rc car + swing vision + tesla...

[/MEDIA] the final evolution of the perfect ball machine as a hitting companion is this type of machine, but it will follow the persons return hit, move to that spot, and then it will fire another ball back to the hitter ( if programmed to continue rallies ), or ( programmed to hit back a...

is any part of the string touching the frame? is the grommet split or broken off? tough to tell because of the tie offs and blurry picture

if you care to have a racquet in your hand by the time you finish the serve swing, then the answer is obvious. i can under stand the idea of a looser grip during a FH, so you get more feel and control. but the serve is all about swing through and pronation.

your wrist movement during serve should be at most to compensate for slight deviations of your throw. if the throw is too far back, you will have to compensate the angle of contact with a wrist snap. if the ball is thrown properly in front of you, you should be able to just plow through the...

i made 2 corny keg pressurizers. i got too excited and went a little too high initially ( approx 30 lbs ) and i'd hear a pop, pop. lol i killed those balls ( they were for ball machine anyways ). but then the ones that i actually wanted to play with ( that actually took the 30 lbs pressure...

crazy, and he was still in his prime.

i think the rule of thumb for poly poly hybrid is shaped main, round cross. Then you can figure out stiffness and tension. Round cross should help the main slide better. Using a thicker cross will also help with mains string movement. I'll give you an example opposite from what you are...
