    Pure strike tour 16x20?

    Any idea when babolat will come out with a replacement for the pure strike tour in the 16x20 pattern? What I really want is the replacement for a pure control tour racquet. I know they came out pure strike vs tour in the 2nd gen w/ the 16x20 pattern but when they went to 3rd generation it wasn't...

    So if Android is TBD and I don't really want to switch to a Apple phone, I'm thinking of my option is an iPad. Is there a min requirement for the iPad? The website just says iPad ios. Thinking the iPad mini would be the easiest to deal with, but not sure if there are disadvantages.

    Tennis stroke development tool

    Is there some sort of tennis stroke development tool that anyone uses that they really like? I have a 4yr old son and was thinking of getting him something that he could use to develop his tennis stroke over time. I know he's young, but something we can setup somewhere at the house and he could...

    What do you tell yourself in a match when the going gets tough?

    I agree with "be patient". Don't force the shot, you will get the opportunity to strike. Trust your abilities. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Tennis Warehouse Playtest: Babolat Pure Strike (16x19, 18x20, Tour) 3rd Gen Playtest

    Just curious... Trying to understand the reasoning behind the string recommendation. It makes sense to me, but wanted to confirm. Tour: lower tension poly Is this because the increased mass/swing weight creates more plow through which is easier on the arm which makes the poly a better fit...

    Almost won a set against a legit UTR9 guy

    Nice job.... The closest I have gotten to a utr 9.3 rated player is 3 and 3. I was rated at 7.2 at the time. I played a 10.6 and got bageled. It was pretty depressing. Whenever I play I highly rated player, I just tell myself, I have nothing to lose and try to rack up as many games as possible...

    I see the new pure strikes are out on TW. Is it true the pure strike tour is now a 16x19 vs 16x20? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Review of 2019 Wilson Blade 18x20 vs. 2019 Babolat Pure Strike 16x19

    Thanks for the info... Curious what were those racquets strung with? Really interested in the pure strike 98s when they come out, but wouldn't mind trying the strike 100 just for sake of comparison. BTW, Im in Dallas too and live really close to the PGA store in Plano. Sent from my SM-G960U...

    Tennis Warehouse: Head Gravity Pro, MP and S Playtest

    I thought people were saying this racquet felt a bit better at slightly lower tension. I will give it a shot at similar tension to what I currently have. Thanks Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Tennis Warehouse: Head Gravity Pro, MP and S Playtest

    What's the consensus on the ideal string tension on these racquets? I'm going to demo the pro version and my club is going to let me string it up with my normal string setup which is vokl cyclone 17g. I usually have it strung up in babolat pure control tour @ 52. Sent from my SM-G960U using...

    Babolat PCT needs replacing, which demo

    I haven't gotten far in my search. I was trying to demo them from TW and I could never find all the Racquets I wanted strung w/ poly. I have only tried the pure strike 16x19 strung w a poly and didn't like it as well as my setup. Serve felt great, but on the baseline it needed some weight. I do...

    Babolat PCT needs replacing, which demo

    Need some advice. I have been using a babolat pure control tour for the last few years and they will need replacing soon. Was looking at the pure strike lineup and considering demoing the 16x19,18x20 and the tour versions. Thinking the non tour versions will be too light as my current PCT has...

    loosing forehand consistency

    I have similar issues. When this happens I also try to really focus on keeping my head still and focus on the strike zone. Be smooth with the stroke (not jerky) and feel like your throwing your Racquet forward through the strike zone to get a good follow through. Also exaggerate your knee bend...

    Anyone played with Tretorn pressurized balls?

    I bought 2 cases and hit w/ them yesterday. Here are my initial thoughts. Comparing them to US Open Extra Duty, they are definitely a bit more firm when you squeeze them. They also feel a tad bit heavier. I didn't feel any discomfort when hitting w/ them. Overall it's a decent ball, I would...

    Ball machine - Go high end? Or are the features not worth it?

    Can you still tell where the machine is going to throw the next ball? I didn't think there is a way to program a real random oscillation of the next ball location, so you kind of know where it's going even. Is this true?
