    Here is my HEAD Prestige COLLECTION

    I have the original Prestige Pro, made in USA. It is great on the serve. It increases the MPH so dramatically unlike anything else. But it is getting to heavy for me.

    Do 3.5 players like me need expensive strings?

    Most of time, I strung my LM Radical MP with Prince Syn Gut 16 with Duraflex. I have tried a few strings like TNT and Wilson Sensation. They feel pretty good, but tell you the truth I really could not tell a big difference between them. I string my own racquet on my LaserFibre ECO, so I do...

    Rookie questions 2...

    Simbah2004, Thanks for asking all those questions. All the questions and answers have been a big help for me, since their manual is so bad, and Tim is on vacation. I just received my ECO and spend 5 hours and finished three racquets last night. You are much faster than I am. I spend 2...

    LaserFibre MS200TT and heavy tensions

    I also purchased the ECO with flying clamps and the turntable for fixed clamps. I received a wrong manual. I think I am missing the knots to secure the mounting systems to the turntable. I went to their web site, and could not tell exactly what are there under the turntable to secure the two...

    I did my research and I need some guidance...

    If you have the regular ECO flying clamps machine, it is very hard to upgrade your machine to fixed clamps. You have to buy the fixed clamps and the turntable. It will be easier and cheaper just to sell your machine and buy a new fixed clamps ECO machine. But if you have a ECO flying...

    I did my research and I need some guidance...

    I was asking the EXACTLU same question myself with the same budget. After my preliminary research, I decided to go with fixed clamps. The reason is that it seems everyone hates the flying clamps. Then I find out that the reason everyone hates flying clamps is that most of the flying...

    How to serve for a beginner

    Bill, it sounds like a good serving exercise, however, I do not think I understand the whole exercise. I need to hold the other end of the string with my serving hand and swing the string and ball without a racquet, right? And, what do you mean by "You need to swing the ball around in such...

    Diablo, Rebel, or TT Graphite?

    I prefer the Diablo MP over MID. MID is a little too small for me, especially on returning serves. MID has very low power, I have to set up every shots perfectly, in order to have good pace and depth. However, you may prefer the Diablo MID, if you are very quick and have really long...

    Diablo, Rebel, or TT Graphite?

    I have used or tried all of those racquets except TT Graphite MID. All of them are pretty good racquets Which racket is more maneuvarable? TT Rebel, Diablo is heavy, and TT G is light but head heavy Which racket has more power (serves and baseline)? TT G MP for baseline, and diablo MP...

    Changing Grip Size on a discontinued racquet

    That is the best part of shrink wrap, it keeps the shape of the handle very well. You will be able to feel the bevels very well, unlike using two or more overgrips. That is the reason that I started using shrink wrap. Great stuff. You really do not need the heat gun, a hair dryer will do...

    Changing Grip Size on a discontinued racquet

    I have used the shrink sleeves to make the grip one size larger on my TT Rebel. It will shift the balance a little toward the butt cap, I love it. If you like to keep the old balance, you may need to put some lead tape on top.

    B. Bill and other,Questions in mind of all 3.5 players

    Kevhen, You are so right about consistency. It is THE only thing that matters in 3.0 to 3.5 level games. It will win most the games in this level for you. At the same time, consistency is winning games for me, it is also made me think not to hit out, like B. Bill mentioned, which is...

    B. Bill and other,Questions in mind of all 3.5 players

    B.B. and everyone, thank you for sharing you thoughts and experiences. You guys really pumped me up. It took me about 3 years to get to be solid 3.5, where I am now. I have spent first year (one summer) aimless just playing around. In the second year, I was very lucky to run into one...

    B. Bill and other,Questions in mind of all 3.5 players

    How long does it usually take to get to the next level, 4.0? I have seen and played with so many people that are in the 3.5 level on outdoor public or community courts. It seems to me that 80% of tennis players stuck at this level. I really do not want to be one of them forever. I am in...

    Great... Even B.Bill showed up. BB, am I on the right path? Please let me know if there is anything that I need to change. Like I said, I am still working on my flat FH, it is still not very solid. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to, when I hit flat. 16, great topic. It...

    flattening a forehand

    16, I have the same problem as you have. In the past year, I have been so focused on developing my topspin FH, which is much better now. It seems my brain and muscles are so used to the low to high, windshield wiper motion. It helped me a lot on 80% of my shots, with better margin, during...

    Can't Hit Sweet Spot on Serves

    It may due to your toss. Focus on your ball toss. It could be too low, which is a very common mistake, or too high, which is rare, or too far left, or too far right, or too far away in front of you, which is what I have problem with. I tried to toss the ball far away in front of me to...

    Laser Fibre ECO with flying clamps or fixed clamps??

    Please help me to decide my first stringing machine. I have never used a stringing machine before. After researching this board and Joe’s strings board, it seems like many people really like Laser Fibre. However, it is kind of expensive. I am toward the ECO model, which is $399 with flying...
