Remake the recoil. Best spin set up I ever had was the prince 3D on the mains and the recoil on the crosses. Sick spin. Top spin lobs bounce over the back fence. Haven't been able to replicate since they discontinued. If you check the TW friction charts it's the top non poly to hybrid with...

Strings the Pure drives are pretty stiff and powerful compared to the prince tour. I'd say the Bab's are good for offensive baseline punishers that hit pretty flat and the price is good for the counter puncher baseliner that loves keeping the opponent on his heels with topspin deep. ALU is a...

I have the SP Star and I agree with the guy that says the bells and whistles aren't necessary. Ball machines are good for primary stokes, over heads and with the oscillation maybe a good work out. i also like it for teaching my young daughters because I have trouble feeding the balls to then...

Good customer service. I got a free board shipped to me for a separate problem even though I'm well past the 1 year warranty period. The problem was with the speed control.

Love my SP star, most options for the $. If you are a pro teacher or just have lots of disposable income. My research says that Playmate is the best. 120MPH

figure it costs $80 plus shipping for a battery

Tretorn are the best, everything else seems like you are hitting rocks. Had them over a year and the bounce is still good i have a silent partner also. Great ball machine. Very good customer service.

tennis .com and tennis mag ( the one you get with the USTA memberships each have shoe ratings and comparisons. Asics Res was reviewed along with the top of the line of many of the shoe brands. Ratings were from a Podiatrist from the WTA tour and a couple dozen play testers. I also indicates...

It's been almost a year since Prince discontinued their Recoil String and I am running out of what I stocked up on. I use it as a cross string with a geometric poly, Usually prince 3D. The mains slide on the cross strings and re-align. I think this set up gives the most spin of anything else...

Last year I had my kids buy me the 2008 wimbly video. Nadal and Fed, I remember thinking, and I still do, greatest match of all time. But watching the 2012 Aussie this year. Nole and Rafa, I thought to myself most dramatic match of all time. Father's day is coming up. Do you...

get the star Get the Star, Don't get the lite, unless you are too weak to lift 45 pounds. It's less battery life. I know you are thinking that 2 hours should be enough. But that might be an average battery life per session. Cranking up the MPHs and having the oscillator going my heavy...

Hit with the 99 Black, blue, red and orange last year, probably just before the metallic colors came out. The red was my favorite by far but not enough to switch from my Prince exo3 graphite at that price. So I will wait and probably test the gold this spring against the red again. I need a...

Tension maintenance. Found that RPM Blast lost tension after about ten hours. I had strung it too tight and it felt like mush then it lost tension and it was much better. I used 17 g and my hybrid crosses Head RIP 16 broke 1st. String RIP full bed actually lasted longer.

Everyone who loves recoil post here.

4. I'm finding a slippery string like RPM or recoil also adds more spin. Tired RPM mains with Head rip in crosses and it was not nearly as much spin as RPM mains and recoil crosses. I think it's because the main strings slip down the crosses upon impact and therefore grab the ball more. I've...

general consensus is to use the Polly on the mains and the syn or gut on the crosses. Mains equal power/spin, and crosses equal control. all being equal mains tend to break 1st so the poly being more durable is good on the mains. I also like to go up a gauge with the polys for more spin and...

I think that Fed said it himself. In tight matches he just plays his game and has faith that his hard work and talent will eventually win out. In the not so distant past this was true that someone could bring their level up to take a set off of fed but it was hard for anyone to sustain that...

Wow this is verbatim? Impressive. Didn't she also reference the Cappriatti match something like "this isn't the 1st time"?

Doesn't Isner use red code

It's hard to be a saint in the city Ugly americans? Nole is only gracious when he is winning and not always even after he has won. I was there for his post match comments against Roddick on Ashe. The crowd was none to pleased. Partial credit for focussing on his media image after these...

Gauge being equal, what is the best spin string and or set up? I thought that the Bab RPM was supposed to be the king of spin But I'm finding more with the prince 3d/Recoil hybrid. However the 3d notches and the Bab RPM Blast doesn't Seem to hold it's tension. That's fine for Rafa who uses...

I used to play with the speedport red and I put a full bed of Big banger in it at mid recommended tension and it was to stiff for me. I don't think I'll ever break these strings even over winter. 2 years ago I switched to EXO3 Graphite and have 2 of them. Prince 3d at 58 was too stiff...

luv the tie break. The tiebreaker is great. It allows for maximum drama and takes away eventually the advantage of serving 1st in the last set. If you don't think this is an advantage ask any player what they would prefer. It's always "I'll serve 1st". For those traditionalists, sometimes...

I've opened a can of new balls and found them to be dead. Wilson's too. It just means that they were probably left on the shelves of Walmart from the previous season. Soda in a sealed plastic bottle will go flatter faster that in a glass bottle. I put them in a pressurizer can and they were...

I do that serve, but also with some side slice, it takes them off the court and makes them hit up, often lunging then I just back hand it to the open court. Some times I will serve and volley on it. I love it when it goes for a ace. You have to have your hard serve working that day though...

I play competitive Mixed doubles and I haven't had these problems. If a person can't volley I'm going at them. If they can't hit a back hand return, that's were I'm putting the serve. If they are short, I might lob more. A lot of times the weaker play isn't that much weaker and this gambit...

"what's wrong with being sexy",, This is spinal tap.

The tretrons X feel like the real thing to me. I hate the gamma practice balls =, feels like I'm hitting rocks.

Hey great job! Right now I'm just using a plastic storage bin I purchased from target which I keep my 200 balls in. It adds about 2 feet of height which gives a more realistic launch point. It also fits nicely on top of the machine when I tilt and roll it on to the court. Bag slung on my...

I got the norditrack dry wicking t shirts work much better than cotton T's and are under $10 at sears. Stayed cool with he moisture being pulled away from my body into the shirt and then evaporating much faster. 1 shirt for the whole match. the Dry wick from Stater were not as good and...
