    Thoughts on a change from LM Instinct Tour XL

    Thanks guys! I will look for those, but it's not very easy to find them to try in my region, i am still tending more to the tweener side, but open for whatever comes around. Test list so far are the speeds, prince textreme tour and VCores. @ozbikebuddy I'd like to hear how the VCORE worked for...

    Thoughts on a change from LM Instinct Tour XL

    Well, i've been playing the apd for about 2 months now, mostly with the strings i bought it with, a mushy SP Tornado. Restrung last week with my good old SPPP 1.23 @56, it's on my limit of stiffness, and the ball flew on me even worse. I still need to give this stick a shot, but keeping an eye...

    Thoughts on a change from LM Instinct Tour XL

    Hey Guys, I am in desperate need for some help. I've own for a good time a Head LM Instinct tour XL, don't know if many here have played this frame but just fitted my game like a charm. The thing is i used it when i was in my 20's, now at my mid 30's after a good time without playing it became...

    Playing flat hitters with old balls?

    You guys can`t imagine how jealous I am right now.... seriously, less then $2 for wilson champs! Here in Brazil the cheapest you can find it is at outraging $15 ( local currency), about 10 US$. To the OP, I've been there, many times actually.. the thing is to make the best out of it. Knowing...

    Agreed, spin is much more from stroke than equipment.

    How to lose spin?

    Thanks LeeD! I can imagine this karate chop, with the hand swinging horizontally perhaps finishing at the opposite elbow? Correct me if I am wrong but it would work on higher balls, like at least at hips height. I'll surely try this against the wall and on court tomorrow. Much appreciated mate!

    How to lose spin?

    Hi Guys! Well, I think i have a problem that is quite the opposite of most people (at least the ones I play with). Learning the game mostly on clay courts I went from a very classic conti grip to a western grip, looking for spin. The thing is, I grew up, quite tall and heavy (190cm, 100kg)...

    Single Backhand Help

    Hi, I may not have the best technique but somethings i can add re. topspin on 1hbh: As people were saying try to focus on low to high movement, bent knees and for a start, to get the feel really don't go through the ball, don't mind much the depth, you'll add it when you get comfortable...

    I'll look for Pressure tennis, and Caloi, Open is a time very well spent! It's funny but a shrink talked me into reading it after saying that he was reading and I had a lot of Agassi's mental issues. (doctors talk...) At the end of the book I found out he was right! I just wish i could play...

    thanks for the feedback guys! Now I got more confident about them I ordered both for a start, i have the inner game in my hands, but it will take ages (6 weeks) to have winning ugly, because i live in freaking brazil, it wasn't published here, so i will have it imported and read in english...

    It's surely honored of him, but what i ment as a nice guy was regarding his personal attitude on the tour... doesn't change the merit of all he has done for the sport and for the society with his school.

    Hi guys, Let's put some literature to the business! I just read Agassi's Open, nice reading, though i personally think he is not the nice guy the book shows. What I thought was intresting was how well he spoke about winning ugly from B. Gilbert, i got curious and started searching for good...

    Need some help with GUT

    Update Yeah, I guess Jim_e was right! it's frayed big time didn't brake yet, even with approx. 15h of clay court on it. So, time for an update on this experiment status: I loved the pocketing feel, the "life-saving" power on stretched up shots, BUT the lack of spin IS actually hurting my...

    Need some help with GUT

    I am playing a YT prestige pro. I've spent a whole strip of string savers and there's fraying and notching all around, i just hope you're right! After having some look I've narrowed my gut choices to klip 15 or gaucho 16, what would i expect of difference among them and klip 17? How about a...

    Need some help with GUT

    I Tried It!!!!! Guys, After waiting soooo long I recieved my TW package and strung full gut, @ 57 (remember my original tension was 50 on SPPP) put the sting savers on and hit the courts yesterday. I must tell that it felt SOOOOOO awesome, i mean, it can be placebo, but i loved it anyway...

    Need some help with GUT

    First things first, about meowmix comment: I am not a stringbreaker indeed, the whole idea of the poly was to tame the gut, which i've not tried but sounds a lot powerful, i like the idea of a control-oriented multi, I've seen RIP control around, but never tried, can anyone compare it to...
