    Wilson RF97 vs Head IG Radical

    Hi I have a IG Radical MP 18x20 customized with 330g. This racquet doesnt offer too much power and spin (18x20). Im looking for something with a little bit more power and spin potential. Does anybody tested both racquets and could provide any insights? Thanks

    Why old Head Prestiges maintain same price?

    Can someone explain to me why old Head Prestiges dont lower their prices as most of the racquets do? The Radical went from $190 to $90, and the Microgel prestige is at the same price as the Youtek.

    Myth about heavy racquet injuries...

    1: you can be 65kg and strong/trained. 2: F=M.A number 1 physics law. Force equals mass times acceleration. What I mean is that you feel the diference in that 60g you are talking about when you accelerate the racquet. And YES, theres a lot of difference with an additional 60g, but as I said...

    Myth about heavy racquet injuries...

    You re partially right: For the strong & frecuent player who has a trained body and hits against strong hitting opponents the right choice is a heavy racquet, not only for the racquet twist but also for the pace. But for the ocasional player, heavy racquets are not the best choice. Heavy...

    Analize my strokes please

    I agree with you 100%, just one thought: about the shoulder on the backhand: Im hitting against a wall, so I want all my backhands to be straight so the ball comes back to me. In this kind of balls I need to rotate my shoulders also? And about the backswing, I find that I can generate more...

    How does Federer do his unique "slingshot" forehand? Anybody else can do that too?

    If you are not going to tell how he does it just keep reading. Dont try to show off. If you want a job just put an ad on your local newspaper.

    Racquet Mass vs. Racquet head acceleration

    If you´ve seen that pros use racquets that are lighter than the one this guy uses that should be enough reason for changing his racquets specs.

    Advice: LM radical, LM prestige

    I like the control the prestige offers but I hate it has no power. The only reason for switching is power. It seems that the LM Radical offers more power but less control, Am I right?

    Advice: LM radical, LM prestige

    I know that the balance is not the only thing but my prestige is 355 grams and 11 pts HL, so its extremely heavy and extremely HL, not good for power. The thing Im most worried is if the LM radical is easy on the arm as the LM prestige.

    Advice: LM radical, LM prestige

    Yesterday my LM Prestige broke so now that I have the chance to buy a new racquet I would like to know the opinion of people who own any of the racquets above mentioned. My experience with the LM Prestige MP in a few words is: the racquet offers lots of control (if you have the right...

    Safin has the fastest serve

    Although I dont know for sure how the gun works I guess it measures the speed of an object that is directly in front and moving from right to left or viceversa. So basically it measures the speed in 1 dimension, the one that is parallel to the ground (X). If a player serves totally straight the...

    Nalbandian the hero of overwieght tennis players?

    Muscle size is proportional to muscle strength***. What you say about athletes that can match body builders is wrong. Depending of the sport athletes train for power, which is defined as the speed at which you can apply a force. Body builders may bench 400lbs, but maybe Andre lift "only" 315lbs...

    Nalbandian the hero of overwieght tennis players?

    I think you are the one that must shut up and learn. Tennis is about speed. You can be superman but if you hit the ball slow the shot wont be fast. Here's and example: although in boxing strength plays a big role also does speed. Notice that elite boxers dont have tremendous arms, they are...

    Nalbandian the hero of overwieght tennis players?

    U are wrong, muscles dont guarantee success in tennis, but they diminish your chances of being good if are not strong. 1st: have you ever arm wrestle to a guy that plays tennis everyday?? they are very difficult to beat and they seem so easy, but their shoulder is extremely strong. 2nd: tennis...
