Hi, I am a left handed 17 year old tennis player. In the training I play much better tennis then in an official match. In an official match my unforced errors are sky high and i hit the weirdest shots. Also I have been using a pro staff 85 for about a year. I also have a babolat pure drive gt...

It was indeed the racket face angle, now I have the racket straight or slightly closed and instantly more balls went in. Thanks for the advice. By the way my trainer is a fan of mid sized rackets, he grew up with wood rackets and says that to learn it is great because you cant get away with bad...

What is the difference between open, closed and neutral racket face?

Hi, I have been using a pro staff 85 strung with multifilament at around 23 kilograms. When I am warmed up and my arms are loose I am sometimes shanking alot of balls. Like I hit a ball with a normal swing and the ball flies out with a very high speed, way higher then I intended. I play the...

Hi, I overheard someone at my club wo gave his pro staff 90 to a youngster and said " if you are strong enough". Does swinging a heavy racket depens on your muscle strengt in you arm? can push ups help you to swing heavier rackets more easily? How was sampras able to swing an almost 400 gram...

Hi, I have a pro staff 85 strung with a full bed of multifilament. I love the power and comfort, only I feel it sometimes lacks a bit of topspin, what string is good for topspin and power? What type of material? Polyester or Nylon or something else?

Hi, I am 17 and have been playing tennis for a few years, I play 3-4 times per week. I am left handed with a one handed backhand. I play aggressive from the baseline, I like to attack, try to hit winners and swing the ball into the corners. I used a Babolat pure drive gt for a while and I can...

No, i have access to the wilson pro staff 6.1 90 and a babolat pure drive gt. What is your frame reccomendation?

Hi, I am 17, left handed with a one handed backhand and I like to play aggressive from the baseline, What string setup do you recommend for the pro staff 6.0 85? I currently have a multifilament in it strung at around 23 kilograms.(50.7 pounds)Does anyone have any good string recommendations?

Hi, I noticed something on both my pro staff 85 and 90. When you hold the racket straight like you see on pictures, I see a little bit of ball hair just to the left of the sweetspot on both rackets, does that mean I hit most of the balls on that spot? There is a little bit of hair to the right...

But do you think that the average player can learn to play with an 85? I play pretty flat with moderate spin. Is the pro staff 85 good for flat players? And with how much spin did Pete play?

I often see videos of Federer forehand and backhand in slow motion and you can clearly see that Federer watches the ball into the string. He watches the ball as close to contact point as possible, did Pete Sampras also use this vision technique on his shots? I couldnt find a good video of...

Oke, but what did these players do so they could hit the ball so clean. What is the big key to hitting balls clean? And also are the modern players like djokovic, murray, nadal etc als clean hitters? Or do they hit them off center a bit more?

Oke, I have two pro staff 90's but I just couldnt control myself buying a pro staff 85 currently strung with a multifilament at a low tension, around 23 kilograms. I played with it for a couple of hours and didnt find it too difficult at all. It is a little bit lower powered then the 90 but the...

Hi, I have a question. As I said earlier I tried out a friend's pro staff 85 and I was surprised how well it played. After 10 minutes I was very confident. Despite the head being miniscule at 85 I didnt have any trouble hitting the sweetspot. Also I didnt have a lot of trouble with the weight...

Hi, Last night I got to test out the pro staff 6.0 85 from a friend who has 2 of them, the strange thing is that I played with it for 1 hour. In that hour I have hit like 4 winners I have never hit before. I didnt have trouble with the head size and was hitting the sweetspot almost everytime...

Pros using 90 Hi, But if Pete used a pro staff 85 and was number 1 why isnt there now an attacking player aside Federer that uses a 90 or maybe an 85 that is in the top 10?

Wilson pro staff six one 90 buttcap Hi, I have 2 Wilson pro staff six one 90 blx rackets. One racket has a golden buttcap and the other racket has a black buttcap with the W logo. Does this mean anything? There the same rackets but the buttcap is different, one is gold with the "W" in it and...

But basically, on the internet I red alot about the pro staff 90 being a racket for advanced players and you need good to nearly perfect technique to use it well, but once you have te skills to use it, you might as well use a bigger head because tennis is so fast on high levels the 90...

90 square inch Okay, So basically once I get better at tennis and I have to play against better guys and the game becomes faster, the 90 will be a downside more and more? But how did all these guys like courier and edberg win so many matches with their pro staff 85, where they all super...

But doesnt every pro need to have good strokes and timing. Because Nadal also needs to hit every ball in the dead center of his racket if he wants to get the most power out of every shot. If Nadal would hit 9 out of 10 balls outside the sweet spot his shots wouldnt be as powerful. I...

Hi, I have been using the Wilson pro staff six one 90 blx for some time now. Lets say I have to play a match against someone of equal skill level who plays with the babolat aeropro drive gt(nadal racket). We are both of equal skill in terms of technique. The advantage of the wilson is it is...

Hi, I am 16 years and have been playing for quite a few years. I have been using a wilson pro staff six one 90 blx for more then 2 years. I had a golfers elbow so I couldnt play tennis for almost a month. When I was finally able to play tennis again I noticed that I wasnt hitting my shots as...

My trainer said that both 90 and 85 headsizes suit Federer and Sampras because they both hit the ball really clean, always on the sweet spot. But what about Edberg and Courier, did they also hit the ball really clean with their 85's or did they have really good technique? And at what age...

Hi, What exactly are linear strikes compared to loopy strokes? And I play pretty flat, I can play with some spin but usually I play pretty flat hitting balls 2-7 centimeters over the net with lots of pace and a little bit spin. And what exactly are old school strokes? So is a 90 good for...

Hi, I am 16 years old and have been playing tennis for a couple of years, I have been using a Wilson pro staff six one 90 for almost 2 years. I usually string them at 23 kilograms, but to make them more durable, I last them let the racket be strung with a looser string in the main, and a...

Hi, I have been using a wilson pro staff six one 90 for 1,5 year. I have always strung it at 23 kilograms. My string breaks often, so my trainer advised me last time to put a looser string in the main and a stiffer string in the crosses. I was playing with that setup and after an hour I started...

Hi, Last time I was playing with my Wilson pro staff six one 90 blx and after an hour and 45 minutes I started to get a burning sensation in my forearm. I have been using the pro staff 90 for over a year now. What can cause that. When I stand straight and stick my left arm forward(because I am...

In my mind I have created a system to select rackets, for instance I wouldn't want to play with Djokovic or Nadal rackets just for the fact I am not their biggest fan. On the other hand i might give the Yonex Vcore tour 330 gram a go because I find Wawrinka a really good player and the...

Hi, I have always bought rackets without trying them, this applies to both the pure drive and pro staff 90. When I had the pure drive, I wanted another racket, I have a slight preference for heavier rackets, I am also a huge Federer fan. So the pro staff 90 came quickly in sight. I am...
