    Where is the ideal contact point for a semi-western forehand?

    At waist height you should be taking the ball a forearm or so in front of you, with your body turned. Chest height it should be half a forearm in front of you. You SHOULD NOT be taking any drive higher than chest height. It is much too difficult to time, so move your feet.

    I'd never watched edbergs game so closely. Now, I knew his volleys were brilliant. But those things are freaking incredible. HES SO FAST HES A NINJA:confused:

    Gamma Progression II 602 Ratchet Getting Stuck On Syn Gut

    I am lifting the bar after clamping the string. I do the same thing with every string and syn guts are the only ones this has ever happened with. What happens is i'll do a few mains and then occasionally one will just "stick" and even when i lift the bar the gripper remains tight on the string

    Gamma Progression II 602 Ratchet Getting Stuck On Syn Gut

    This is not so much an issue on crosses as mains but I find that on tensions above 65 my ratchet gets a little stuck on the synthetic gut and causes a bit of damage to the string when finished tensioning. Does anyone know why this is?

    Post Pictures of your Awesome Stringjobs

    You know, the first time i strung it (and for about 2 months following) I did it full bed. And the first time I played with it, i looked at my buddy and literally said, "Feels like someone put plywood between my frame" But after a little while it just started to do everything i wanted. Even...

    Serve, Pressure

    I try and generate as much racquet head speed no matter what on your serve. If you practice hitting the first serve flat and a cannon that you couldnt possibly hit any harder. You need to do that in matches. On your topspin serve you should be swinging even FASTER than on your flat serve, just...

    Will Verdasco continue to use Major rackets?

    I'm pretty sure he just doesn't care. 3 Racquet changes in under a year. Thats ludicrous, why doesn't he just play with a childrens racquet.

    Best and worst surprises

    Best: Gosen 17 OG sheep micro Worst: Wilson Stamina Gosen is brilliant if strung in a hybrid. I play with Gamma ZO magic at 62 in the mains and Gosen 17 at 62 in the crosses. I havent played with gosen full bed but i imagine that it is very mushy.

    Cuts on fingers

    I personally own some athletic tape that i used to use for shin splints. Recently i had a blister on my finger. So I popped it. Obviously it was really painful to play with, so i looked in my bag. Saw the tape. Wrapped it semi tight (Do not cut off circulation) 2 layers and then I played with...

    When not to use ATW

    I find when i string two piece i waste less string and its also a little faster to go through mains. The difference is very minute. But I personally string all racquets two piece unless told otherwise.

    2000 - 2009: Men vs Women

    Is this even a question? The talent pool in mens tennis is just so much deeper and produces so many better more diverse players. Although I dislike her, there is a reason Serena has dominated in the WTA. She is one of the few consistently incredible performers at the slams for WTA.
