    Poly recommendation

    Sounds reasonable enough. I thought I ask about folks who have had experience with various poly strings, ranging from softest to hardest. Of course, I will steer away from hardest poly.

    Poly recommendation

    He breaks string regularly but he is looking for performance without stiffness. So I am starting to look for softest poly or muti. Not sure which first so I thought I ask people who have had more experience with strings.

    Poly recommendation

    I'm starting to look into poly for my son. He's 12 and has been playing Gamma Synthetic Gut for a long time. What is the softest poly that is out there? I know nothing about poly so this is the best place to ask, I hope. I want to take a gradual step to poly but it has to be really soft so...

    Ramos did defuse the situation after the 1st warning: lost in the plot

    Their jobs are to fuel the fire for public consumption. Sadly, this time it failed because the public can see through the act. Should quit while they still have a chance. The more they talk about it, the more stupid they look.

    No offense to Brooksby....

    "He looks like a recreational player wearing Nike Shorts and Adidas shoes. I'm surprised he is not endorsed in terms to clothing." Why does that matter? What does that have to do with his tennis? Perhaps, he very confident in his game that he doesn't need to try to impress others with his...

    Why doesn't Karlovic rarely go past 125 mph on 1st serve anymore?

    You have to take Gilbert's words with a grain of salt. He and the McEnroe brothers are full of hot air.

    CiCi Bellis verbally commits to play at Stanford

    If that is the case of returning to Stanford after her playing days, will she still get a full ride or she will have to pay for her college? Anyone knows the answer to this question?

    Deiton Baughman - upcoming US junior?

    Hahaha, good call Will. He's doing fine for now and making some noise as you wrote.

    Federer is the smartest player in tennis, and it isn't even close

    He should you as his coach and fire that lazy-azz, tennis-coach impostor Edberg who doesn't know anything about tennis. Perhaps, then he will win those 20+ slams.

    Amazing New York Times article on Stan's backhand

    He lost because he didn't believe he could win against top players not because of his one-hander. His backhand is one of the best in the world period.

    If Novak wins USO 2014, then he is better than Rafa on 3 majors

    Still, he needs to win the French at some time during his career.

    Best strings for junior players under 10

    Obviously I don't keep track of how long but it seems to me very often, close to every two weeks. He plays a lot of tennis because he enjoys it. I use various string promos that I got when I bought the X-ST. Mostly cheap strings, nylon, synthetic gut, etc. I don't use Poly because it's very...

    Best strings for junior players under 10

    My player breaks string every two weeks and it's getting expensive. So will a Gamma Synthetic Gut 16 be reasonable or 17? 18 may be a lot of stringing on my part. What do the experts think? I have not freaking ideas about stringing but I know I need to cut down on paying for stringing job...

    Gamma X-ST machine

    Thanks, I'll try again. I strung two rackets when I got the X-ST and each racket ended up taking me more than 1-1/2 hours. It was too long so I stopped doing it. But I believe I can improve my time markedly if I continue to use the stringer. If I can break 30 minutes per racket than I am...

    Gamma X-ST machine

    Yes, it's a yellow racket. Not mine but that doesn't matter. I will be stringing it from now on to save money because the player breaks string every two weeks. The count of mains at the throat is 6. I don't have a starting clamp. I have seen people use this on videos lately so I guess I...

    Gamma X-ST machine

    I am stringing the Junior Wilson BLX Pro 26. 16x19. I like to string it as one piece but the stringer has been doing it as two pieces. It had been such a long time since I strung the racket and I was not even proficient at it to begin with. It took me so long to string one that I stopped...

    Nick Kyrgios tipped to win tournament by John McEnroe and Pat Cash after Nadal scalp

    People who are stupid enough to take McEnroe and Cash's word seriously get what they deserve. They only said those things to bring up rating so that people will tune in to see Kyrgios's amazing ride. He had a great run but as he got deeper into the tourney, there were higher quality players...

    Gamma X-ST machine

    That manual was worthless but the videos online are more helpful. I completely forgot how to set it up and everything because I put it away for 7 years and now want to try again because I have people breaking strings every 2 weeks and that starting to be expensive. I may break a string every...

    Gamma X-ST machine

    Would someone here be so kind to post a video of his/her stringing job as a tutorial for me? I have the Gamma X-ST stringer but can use a refresher. I have searched for demo videos online but could not find one on the X-ST machine. Thank you in advance for taking your time to make this video.

    Who is the WORST commentator??

    I just can't stand Motto-mouth Carillo. That person just can't stop utter nonsense while the points are in play. She and Johnny Mac are idiots when they get together to commentate a match. It's not enjoyable to watch a tennis in mute mode but the alternative is painful.

    Lendl needed Wimbledon

    Somehow, I think Lendl is fine with all of his accomplishments even though you don't think he's that great. Who the hell are you anyway posting all of this craps about your view about GOAT?

    Nole fans, what do you think of Coach Becker?

    I haven't been keeping up with the details but can someone here tell me why I see Marian Vajda name under Coach with Becker but I never see him anymore on TV. As an observer, I haven't not seen the success with Becker yet. I know it's early to tell, but losing early at the AO and in semi to...
