Have checked my results with RacquetTune and am frankly amazed at how well my string tension is holding up versus my old crank machine. Strung one of my RF97As at 54 single-piece and tension drop is less than 10% after an hour's play and 3 days after stringing.

So, after a swivel clamp base breakage on my 2nd hand (and very old) lockout, I bit the bullet and ordered a new Premium Stringer 3600 with the 2086 tension head. Thought process was that I had no idea what was going to break next on my old stringer, which had already been in storage for some...

Comparing a real situation to an absurd situation that didn’t happen is quite odd. I take it that’s your defence of saying junior GSs should be taken away. And I have no idea why you think it’s unfair. You have to be responsible for your actions. Djokovic trotted out his usual speech of...

Many thanks for your views, much appreciated. Will take a look at the K7 Red.

I'm aware of the incident. Just not sure of your comment re "stripped of the junior GS". What did you mean by that?

And this all happened because Novak tried a stupid drop shot rather than put the break away.

Right decision. You can’t do that.

You need to explain this more. I don’t understand whether you’re saying Edberg should have been stripped of the junior GS? Just confirm what you mean before you get a major beatdown.

Hi All Bought a matched pair of ASL3s a while back (lockdown boredom) and need some advice. Getting a resurgence of elbow issues. I'd been playing with PS97 CVs with a bit of extra weight under the trap and some lead over the PWS bumps. I found this setup pretty arm friendly but getting...

Kind of my point when I stated the difference in equipment and technology.

Kind of agree. Replace the word rackets with strings and you’re onto something. I know that modern racket technology is required for the strings, but it’s how the strings interact with the ball that’s changed the game. Murray vs Edberg or Becker with modern equipment (including balls), Murray...

Couldn't agree more with the OP. Sadly Tsonga's future opportunities for greatness were scuppered by the dark forces of the game, otherwise what a different world we'd be living in. When Fed realised the threat he had Wilson change all of Tsongas rackets by adding 25g of lead at 12 o'clock...

Abusive behaviour, promoting competitors, generally being an idiot. The rules are here somewhere. Also, don't talk about what gets you banned because that is likely to get you banned.

I had the AG100s, fitted with a leather grip and natural gut mains. Have to say I loved the thought of playing with those rackets but I agree with you it wasn't as plush as my 200Tours. Also didn't feel as stable, compared to some of my other rackets they almost felt hollow. I ended up...

It is all personal preference. I tend to avoid it with my little crank machine, simply because I might forget to put the tension back down again afterwards!

Yes, they suck at the moment but nobody knows what is around the corner. Federer went from being good to becoming great at the right time - the saviour of men's tennis. I think the ATP breathed a sigh of relief when he started winning majors.

I think he'll be winning slams in his early 30s. Too much game, looks after himself nowadays, therefore good chance of longevity.

I love RF but he looked a complete twat on that occasion. That day he was to tennis what Liberace was to music.

A haggis tossing the caber whilst eating a deep-fried Mars Bar and swigging from a can of Irn Bru should do it. Seriously, now he has slam status I think it will be an expectation of his major sponsors that he has his own brand. Good luck to him and his team, I hope that the end result is...

Yes to 4-5 years, no to Nadal being out of the picture. The guy is proving to be the comeback king and I don't think you can write him off yet, he is way too hungry from another hatful of slams. Whether he gets them is another matter, but Nadal looked unstoppable at the USO and is sure to have...

Looks like a Babolat :(

Disagree on Bartoli :)

2013 is 2013, and 2014 is 2014. Your theory would suggest the lower you are at the end of one year, the more chance you have of being successful the next year. It's flawed. In my opinion, being out of the top 8 at the AO would be disastrous for Federer because he may well end up playing one...

England vs Argentina at the '86 World Cup finals. Karma payback which the sporting gods have wreaked upon all Argentinian sportsmen* such as Nalbandian and now Del Potro. *except Messi. For now.

Buddy up with a PS90 user...

Special mention to Nikishori who (used) to have an excellent record in the final set of matches. Don't know if this is still the case?

You need to get your facts straight buddy, I'm a Murray fan not a Nadal fan therefore have no interest in making excuses for him - I just say it how I see it :)

Only chance is if the WTF is at the beginning of the year, which by default can't happen. Nadal works harder than most if not all professionals for his wins, I think his game is ugly but have a lot of respect for his achievements. Unfortunately his game takes too much out of him by the end of...

You should do whatever you want as long as it's within the rules. I don't get the argument that the match has to be for development and learning - there is only so much you can learn from playing someone who is MUCH better than you. If I thought for a second that my opponent was taking pity on...

Best = most dangerous = David Nalbandian
