Since its "b1tch about dubs partners" day Theres a guy we call furious freddy in my circle. His court banter is usually acceptable but his mental toughness is quirky and annoying. If his team has an overwhelming advantage, you will see his best game, if teams are fair, he becomes rooted...

According to vic braden, a couple well known players from the 80s and 90s were left handed but forced by parents to switch,, thinking right handers have an advantage. The result? These guys would have incredible two handed backhands unique from right hand dominant players. I played ladt year...

I was thinking last night of the irony, that a player is his own worst enemy when it comes to tennis elbow. Most of us will take great risks, to keep playing despite elbow pain, likely only increasing downtime. Somehow we find this better then another simple solution,, drop your ego, drop...

2015s, why? Yea mine are below 12oz but i have no issues with fatigue during games, so thats another route i can try. The only time i have fatigue(and probably a great contributor to this issue) is when im practicing my serves, i recently started to learn the correct flat serve form, and...

Twenty eight. Missing my teenage years but only because i have an adult mind now..

Hopefully more forgiving strings and more dampening solve it, for the time being im going to play vs the greenest people i know, left handed. Theres a certain youtube tennis channel, thats got two young guys from the uk and one of them has a comical amount of over grips one their pd, 4...

It took 3 weeks of incremental increases in very mild discomfort before i made a change, at first i had wrist pain so i added an overgrip and it began to subside, now i have barely perceptible elbow pain and im being proactive about it. The pain is less then the avg headache or soreness from...

So, i bought a pair of pure drives with some older cyclone tour in them about 2 or 3 weeks ago. As of today i have a slight pain in my elbow :( as soon as the weather improved i started playing and practicing ALOT like, an average of 2 hours a day but some days have peaked with 6 hours, some...

Paper plates on carpet work like an ab dolly. For almost free.

Bringing this back from the dead. I got a package of this hybrid on sale for the heck of it. Im using dead poly right now in my 15' pds and while i have no injury yet, i sense it on the horizon. Im throwing these in pronto to give me time to buy more expensive strings. Quick question would...

Hoe much time since the stringing? Hows notching?

Ah ty. How is revolves tension maintenance?

Is it slick enough for snap back?

4g dies rather fast no?

Thinking of trying NG/revolve in one of my pds, never tried ng. I don't want to restring often, and in a year of playing ive never broke a string. Currently playing with dead volkl cyclone tour @ 50, hurts my wrist a bit but otherwise, i guess i dont know what im missing from fresh poly...

I have two bab pure drive 2015s, they have sort of a weird pattern but thats mainly in the crosses as i understand it

Thinking of trying some hybrids, wondered if i get 2 packs of strings, will the string i use for mains be long enough for two racquets? Eyeballing it, mains are longer then crosses

He removed the skin on his fore arm and looked.

Okay, cool, homing in on something here. I have two identical bpd's, im going to have one restrung in Wilson revolve 17, 50lb mains 40lb crosses. After comparing that to my other bpd, strung at 50 with cyclone tour, i may add weight to the frame. Its at either 330 or 340g right now and i...

does lower tension increase shock absorption, aka comfort of a string? my last string job i had 56lbs with bab rpm team 17g, didnt feel like i could make spin easily. what do you think of another slick soft poly in there(thinking wilson revolve 17g) but drop to 50lb mains and 40lb...

1)poly feels more "dead" because it doesnt rebound quickly, less energy transfer to the ball, but somehow it DOES rebound faster laterally. im confused? literally, not trying to be an ***** i just dont understand. 2)no debate on bite being there, but bite alone doesnt generate spin, at all...

or like you are holding your team mate down. even worse. no excuses, just self loathing. Mental Tennis, by vic braden, i suggest it to anyone in this thread who is stressing during matches. reading it was like instant relief, it gave me a mental tool set to identify, combat and logically...

bite can only impart the spin you are generating. its still all you. but snapback can increase spin. a slick poly with a thin guage should still be decent at spin, wilson revolve is not shaped yet is #2 on spin production by TW's ratings

wait, why does syngut produce less spin?? i've read that string choice and tension has little to do with spin.

multi=softer syn gut(both nylon) no?? ive seen NRG2 suggested multiple times for the BPD, thats why i thought i'd try multi. i guess i want a string that will allow me to hit slower, so i can focus on the upward motion of the stroke, give me more power so i can focus on spin production. is...

i have two modes in calling hard to call shots 1)i respect my opponent and feel they're respecting me(not robbing me). i use the vic braden approach. a ball bouncing is only 3 milli seconds, and it slides about 3 inches while in contact of the floor, so anything you perceive as "just out" is...

this thread is intriguing. think i will go to a hybrid or multi when i restring next. currently using bpd strung in the low 50's with volkl cyclone. i "can" hit from corner to corner with speed but dont feel like i get enough topspin or consistency. often go long when i hit hard but...

Just added 2g of lead at 3/9 on the head of my G instinct, it feels much more whippy, actually easier to swing then before. I've run a gamma overgrip the entire time and never realized how much weight this was adding(6g iirc) , i think im going to add another 2g in the same locations, double...

You guys have never experienced competitive hitting eh? Only thing i feel i miss in hitting vs a game is fair turns of serving, honestly i get better cardio from the hitting! As soon as a ball is going out we are feeding another in.
