    Advice for natural gut/kevlar hybrid stringing

    have you ever used kevlar crosses? heck you would have to string around 40's to get any decent spring from them... basically, IMO kevlar crosses will kill almost anystring combo. ur arm also... that is at tensions above 50ish

    ASHAWAY KEVLAR+SYN GUT - Will string savers lengthen the lifespan?

    personally i feel that kevlar loses tension quite a bit but it still gets the job done. when i first get mine strung up at 60lbs, i love the feeling and the amazing spin that comes as a result with relatively not string movement. however, later on the lvl of spin i impart starts making the...

    Am i being over charged?

    40 is definitely overpriced try asking people you hit with or people at a local club to see if they string. most will only charge 5-10 to string it. that is you still hve to buy the strings.

    How do you wrap your overgrip?

    i use head overgrips and most of them come looking like the base grips with the little ridges on the sides so thats about as much as a overlap as i need. as for nadal. he is right handed just plays left. i know a few people who do that. or vice versa, lefty playing right. it really doesn't...

    Anything similar to the Liquimetal Prestige MP?

    imo the microgel is mushy and feels alot different from the lm but the flexpoint mp feels closer to the lm. i mean they are both lm raqcuets just the flexpoint one has flexpoints. lol :) try upgrading to the tour/pro editions. you might like them... a little heavier though.

    Best racquet for my 14 year old son

    if your son is really hitting puberty than a heavy raqcuet won't be bad. last year when i was 15 i went from a under 10oz to a 12oz flexpoint radical tour. if your son really cares about tennis, he will bulk up in matter of 2-3 months. and will be able to handle the stick perfectly fine.

    very frustrating plateau

    a productive work out could consist of having a partner/coach feed for one specific ball for example, feeding forehands of varying speeds spin and depth. one thing my coach does is me on forehands is rally w/ forehands only cross court only first to 7 points wins. in my opinion, its key to...

    Hitting Topspin(Into net)

    the best thing for you to do is to hit through the ball. pretend as if you are hitting 3 successive balls. if you have so much top spin to start with, it should be no problem when you actually start to hit through and extend. :)

    Teaching the Serve

    i dont know if this will help too much but heres an interesting analogy for most north american players. the serve is alot like pitching a base ball. does that help? you can also try adjusting how much he is facing the net, for first serves i recommend the left foot pointing at the right...

    very frustrating plateau

    i agree with Bagumbawalla you really just need to practice. it sounds like what your doing is just going out there and hitting with a partner and playing sets. if you really want better strokes which will then result in more confidence(to some extent) you need to practice practice practice. you...

    mains/crosses breaks, can I keep the other?

    Making Gut Last

    lol. i dont think steve is weird. i do the say thing he does. for some reason, my fingers always fall on the creases of my grip so i always use the same side for my forehands. even when i twirl it. when i stop i usually, lets say 90% of the time, end up on the same side i always use fro my...
