again, nothing to do with a quality control issue. its the new paint scheme of the pro staff rabge. they're dropping the six.one name. they're now known as simply pros staff ninety or pro staff ninety five. the wilson logo has moved to the centre on the newer "non six.one" pro staffs. wilson are...

its actually the other way around. the off centred wilson is the new design as they are dropping the name "six.one" from the pro staff line and marketing them as pro staff rackets rather than "six.one" pro staff rackets. the box section beam was never a six.one anyway. they should've always been...

charlie, your taste in pubs almost exceeds that of your excellent service advice. The Bear is a lovely establishment!

Charlie, again, thank you. these videos have been hugely helpful. they've made me see aspects of serving that i never even noticed before. it really has made me break my serve down completely and build form the bottom up. i certainly owe you a drink (or 5!) i think for the first basket i'll...

does anyone have any experience of a TGK263.1?

i found the ig speed mp a really fast racket through the air. initially i was quite alarmed at how easy it was sling around. it had an exceptionally solid feel too and remarkably stable for a 100sq" (i usually use a 90) i also found that when i backed off with the racket (i.e shortened my swing)...

i saw a documentary not so long about about manufacturing in china. the names of whole regions are translated as "porcelain city" etc. obviously for the region which manufactures tiles, toilets etc. they really were quite bleak, dreary looking places though. not the magical mystical "toilet...

yes! thats a great description of it! so im not just imagining it then?

i've just got home from playing for a few hours and before i left i had a read and a run down of all the information you've provided here. i tried to incorporate as much as i could and see how it went. i could clearly feel when i had hit a technically good serve as i could feel pace being...

ok well in that case maybe i need to have a little look at adjusting the angle of my arm too, to make the action a bit more shoulder friendly.

do you have a certain number of serves that you'd hit in 1 session to; A. get the most out of the session and B. how many of those session would you do in a week to maximize your own improvement? all of these things are quite specific to the person but its nice to see the capacity of...

by the looks of responses so far i think it might be best to incorporate a lot of "shadow" serving rather than actually striking the ball 100% of the time. maybe i'll be able to do 150 a bit easier once more strength has been built up. do you find hitting 144+ balls reasonably...

yes it does seem like quite a lot to add to a service action without knowing the exact benefits/reward. i certainly hope you get back up to speed soon. you'll have to let me know if your serve gets easier once you're 100% again

thank you very much. very useful information from you both. in essence, i dont need to actually be striking a ball in order to incorporate these additions into my service action? or at least not as many balls! if i was to generalize i'd say my serve is technically good, physically lazy...

im having a bit of trouble. im currently trying to develop my serve a little bit. i think i've got the basic mechanics down but im trying to incorporate the odd tweak here and there. so i grab a basket of balls and get to work. the only problem is i can only do around 3 baskets (a basket is...

yes, i have 3 blx six.one 90's (the older black/red federer frame) and they are all different. 1 frame is close to the specs printed by wilson. the other 2 are over 5 grams heavier. they a noticeably heavier. i find it pointless for a company to print the spec of the racket when they cant...

i worked in my local tennis store for a number of years and had to return a few customer rackets in my time there. wilson were very good when dealing with the store. we'd phone them up, get a return number and they were very good with replacing a defected racket. head, as stated were also...

was the nCode paintjob supposed to be some sort of representation of the swiss flag?

thank you very much for the advice. i ordered half a size bigger and im now frantically trying to change the size to an 8!!

i think i may be echoing what people have already said but if you were going to look for a consistent yet dangerous forehand i would look to develop your topspin forehand more. for the simple fact that the margin for error (versus a flat forehand) is slightly larger. if you can learn to hit...

is the asian blx 90 around 20 grams lighter?

i'd really like to know peoples opinions on what they believe to be the absolute BEST version of the wilson six.one tour and why. obviously we can include the pro staff tour 90 in this list too. so is it the pro staff tour 90 nCode six.one tour kFactor six.one tour BLX six.one tour BLX...

absolutely 100%. couldn't agree more.

all replies have been fairly constructive and consistent so far. however the first thing id address, and its pretty huge, is that you hit with an open stance (i.e you hit off the "back" foot. for a right hander thats the right foot). i understand many pros do this and they do this for a number...

i know the discussion has focused on the effect of "hitting the ball as hard as you can" has on the ball, but what effect, over time, will it have on your body? if you are exerting yourself to your absolute maximum, theres a chance you may not be able to enjoy playing tennis as long as possible...

im hoping the aficionados on here can help me. im currently wearing the vapor 8's (i havent played much in the last couple of years!) i wear a size 8 and was wondering if the 9's had change in size at all? is it safe to just stick with a size 8?

i literally just did the same thing. i was hitting with my blx 90 and thought "come on, stop being a ***** and get that 85 out" it has some sort of immediate affect on your concentration. then i get lazy and it brings me back down to earth. i walk over to my bag, tail between my legs and get the...

i've never used the k factor version of the 90. i've heard lots of people say its a superior racket to the blx's. how would you compare the 2?

i'd echo the sentiments of the 2 previous posts. i've literally just stepped off court after using the 85 and the blx 90. the 85 is fun and very rewarding but after an hour or so it starts to become hard work. as stated, the blx 90 will be slightly more forgiving, it'll give you more spin...

sorry to go slightly off topic but can someone please explain to me why i have such an unhealthy obsession with a racket (ps85) that i CLEARLY cant use!!!
