    Foot-faults: is it petty to call ?

    It's super super petty...so I help out by pointing it out in other people's matches, never my own

    Supergrap is popular

    SuperGrap is superb. In real life, everyone I know that's tried it pretty much switched to it (90% from Wilson Pro TBH) However I've never encountered anyone that switched from SP to WP. When I look around online, feedback/opinion is more divided though, if I'm honest.

    New Adidas Barricade 2023

    There's got to come a time when brands like adidas simply do away with their designers entirely and just crowdsource new ideas. Any new release would have to have millions of people absolutely raving to buy it. Too many designs are D.O.A. as it stands...

    New Adidas Barricade 2023

    Unpopular opinion: I hated the "adidas" spelled out, but it had more visual flow to it than the logo just plonked in the middle :confused:

    Tennis shoe with the most grip

    In my experience, the grippiest you can get is a clay court sole on a hard court. Sadly, there's no going back to the clay court with it after just one sesh :cry: :cry:

    Hypercourt Express Leather

    From other sports, I'd say the advantage vs synthetic is molding immaculately to the shape of the foot. Moisture retention and the extra care needed (proper cleaning, drying, etc to keep them from going brittle) would be cons.

    How do I beat him?

    Yeah, we're both a bit late – apparently the OP's long been blown off the court o_O But it really does depend, no? Loads of people advise this because they've fallen victim or seen enough players fall victim in the past. I've seen tons of inexplicable collapses..and plenty of them come from a...

    How do I beat him?

    How much junk do you have? Unload it all on him – give him something he's not seen for a while. Try to impress him and show him you have nice strokes too = recipe for a tasty pair of bagels. Good luck (or bon appetit!)

    How can I stay healthy enough to play tennis every day?

    Absolutely. In fact, the OP wants to be able to play almost every day and @socallefty's saying he's managed to play many, many, many days in a row and is almost twice the OP's age. If I'm reading right, he's saying that more is almost certainly possible with the right approach...not that the...

    Best grips to prevent blisters?

    Supergrap is thicker by far and has a plush feel. Tourna will likely *initially* give you blisters depending on how hard your replacement grip is. If you play without a replacement grip or play a thin leather replacement grip, Tourna will give you some nice blisters or calluses. Then it's...

    Any London recommendations (hitting or hitting lesson or paid hit)

    As 3loudboys suggested, Bishop's Park would be a good pick – bonus is that it's quite easy to access if you're moving around via public transport some of the time. Can be a bit hectic depending on the time of day as the courts are pretty much in a side-by-side grid. In that area - a bit less...

    Cramping

    Probably picked up this tip here about 5 years ago – prunes. Pop one or two at changeovers if you've been sweating more than usual. Works like a miracle and you can forget them in your tennis bag all summer long and they'll still be in perfect shape. Just like you
