    Quality Wilson bag, not good

    A 15 bag by Wilson. About 5 years old. Would call this way below average quality. My next bag definitely won't be a Wilson one.

    How many top football players would be top tennis players

    How many great football players like Benzema, Ronaldo, De Bruyne would be top tennis players capable of winning slams? I somehow have the idea the top of European football is full of Nadals who could be top tennis players would they have made another career decision.

    what is the advantage of thick beam?

    IMO a light thin beamed racquet, by laws of physics, won't be able to push back the ball with enough force. As a result you need too much arm speed to compensate for that which is not something you generally want. There are some obvious relations in the design of racquets and this relation...

    Stiff hoop, but flexible throat

    Are there racquets on the market which have a stiff hoop but a flexible throat? A Pure Drive doesn't qualify as the throat seems to be not that flexibele. I have the old Fischer Pro No 1 98 (black red one) in mind and maybe some racquets from the 90s.

    Is van rijthoven really only 6’2?

    It appears Tim is a good grass-court player. Medvedev said he remembered Tim from the juniors to be good on grass. Also to Medvedev grass is not his favorite surface. So when Tim has a good day and Medvedev an off-day you will have a result like this. About his height, tough to estimate...

    Fischer Pro No 1 98 (295 gram). The black / red one. Still one of the best frames I played with. Easy to generate heavy curvy balls.

    Davis Cup only for players outside top 50

    Davis Cup, an event favoured by tennis fans and the ATP but now and then interferes with the careers of the pros. Federer is an example who always put his own career above participating in the Davis Cup. So wouldn't it be a good idea if Davis Cup is only open for players outside the top 50. This...

    Good players can play competitively with any racquet

    You are highly depended on the gear the opponent uses. A comprarable good opponent beats you with a modern frame when you have a wooden one. So the answer is "No".

    Wilson: same racquets, different recommended string tensions.

    I own 2 Wilson Ultra 100 (v3). Identical I pressume. However I noticed they have 2 different recommended string tensions. One has the recommended range 50-60 lb, the other 47-57 lb. See attached pictures. What is this? Never came across something like this.

    The Fischer Faction!

    I got 2 sets of Fischer grip shells (4 1/2) for M Pro 98. Got them from Pacific last year but don't need them anymore. Not new but in good condition of course. For shipping costs only I'll send them to anyone in Europe.

    The Prince Phantom 93P is a gift to us from TW - My Review/AMA

    Does it have modern grommets which allow for additional string movement at 3 and 9 o’clock? That would turn it into a 95/94 square inch frame. Reminds me of the Fischer M Comp 95, specwise that one comes close to this one.

    any tips on how to get higher rpm's on forehand?

    Drop your racket before hitting the ball, this way you will get, after the drop, a down-to-top movement for free which will give you the spin. Coaches telling you you have to brush up the ball are bad coaches, yes you have to brush up the ball but they forget to tell you to drop your racket...

    If I can say something, '330 gm' is the incorrect abbreviation for gram, it is '330 g' or just '330 gram'.
