thanks everyone for the great replies. i wish i could demo the rqis, but i dont have a CC to use to demo it from TW, and my regular shop doesnt carry Yonex. they both seem like great frames, but i think since i have demoed the k90, i will most likely go with that. whats a good string setup for...

hey everyone im in the midst of choosing a racquet. I am a 4.5 level player with a bit of a baseline game. i want to try and play an all-court game, and i know that will take time to build up and it will most likely be a rough transition. The racquets i am thinking of switching to are either...

anyone else? any advice is appreciated

hey everyone i was wondering if if a RQIS 1 was a good racquet and if it is worth buying? Does anyone here actually use it, and if so, what are some good points about it? I read the reviews on TW, just want some more info. I currently play with an RDS 001 Mid, and i cant seem to really generate...

hey sorry i didnt reply. had surgery to fix my stomach lining on the 25th. i should be back at full strength by the end of april. hey tonlars, im not how sure spring lake park is from Little Canada, i would have to figure that one out. If you know, please by all means let me know. I can drive...

hey everyone, I am 155 lbs with around 14-16% bf which is the average(or so i hear) for a tennis player. I'm happy with my body so far. Im not ripped to the bone, my abs dont show or anything, but i'm relatively lean and I am happy with it. the only part im not happy with is my chest, and i am...

hey everyone, i am wanting to really get serious about tennis and my current skills aren't enough. i keep getting run over by people that i play with simply because i cant keep up. my shots arent strong and my form isnt so great either. I really enjoy tennis, im just not very good at it. i...

Hey all ive been playing with an RDS 001 for the past 5-6 months, and I'm liking it. I tried out the midplus and mid version, decided i liked the mid better. I felt i had good pop, the right amount of power and it just felt good in terms of pace. I am considering switching to the RQIS Tour 1. I...

id do it slow at first, because form is MUCH more important then speed. If you go fast with bad form, you may get disproportionate results or you may hurt yourself. Going up, you can go as fast as you want. To really get those muscles burning, you have to resist it on the way down. After...

theres a big difference beteween weight loss and fat loss. WEIGHT is a number, from my understanding. Fat loss is what really matters. what body type are you? just someone who naturally has a big frame, or has gone from being skinny to heavy, etc? Age also factors into this. i went from lard to...

i was in this same dilemma. i ended up choosing the Pure Drive Roddick( similar to the cortex, i think) I started out with the APDC and played a few games with it. I noticed my serve was a bit more on target, and shots were going to where they needed to go, but i couldnt really feel the ball...

hey all i am struggling with my diet, but i DO have the exercise program down PAT. Ive been running 1 mile a day, cutting out pop, doing weight training 3 times a week, etc, and of course, playing tennis 1.5-2 hours a day. However, without diet, these efforts are really pointless. 2 good...

hey man, i was going through the same dilemma. Kfactor vs RDS 001 Mid. You may be going for the midplus, i dont know. But this is feedback for the mid. I went to my local tennis store, started checking out the Kfactor 90. The salesman came up to me, and we got to talking about what type of...

my style of play is counterpuncher with a 1hbh, and i dislike the APD's stiffness as well as its lack of being a bad Flat Shot racquet. It is also too spinny for me.

hello all, i am a 4.0 High School tennis player in need of a new racquet. Previously, i had the APD and a few others, but they were all stolen along with my TV, Laptop and Ipod during a break-in when i was on vacation(who ever steals a tennis racquet must be ********). Anyway, I do not have...

i doth wish to join this babolat alliance as well. I wield the Aeropro and the Pure Drive, what does that make me? some sort of an Aeropro Driver, or perhaps a Pure Warrior? I am proud to be a part of the alliance.

hey all, havent been on in a while due to an insane amoutn of homework and ACT practice stuff. Winter did also set in, not leaving me much of a choice in terms of tennis playing. IT has started to thaw out a little bit, so i have been trying to hit around a little bit against walls and...

the only part of the game roddick is better than Federer at, is giving the losing speech after walking off the court in defeat. ... that and perhaps his serve. Its a strong serve, ill give him that. He's just got to dig up some other skills though, the whole game doesnt revolve around his serve.

Hey all i was wondering if anyone would be able to find a Tennis instructor for me in the St.Paul/ Minneapolis area. I have asked tennis-playing buddies around me about lessons, but they dont know anyone either. Is there a site i would be able to check where instructors are and if they are...

Yeah, i went on down to the store today, and looked at the PDR. The owner(who actually knows something about tennis) says the PDR has a fraction more power, and weighs almost a full ounce more. in the end, we overgripped it, and all of a sudden it became heavier!. So its pretty much a PDR now...

ooh... thats not a bad idea... where could i get the lead tape and how much should i add?

Hey all A salesman told me that i was buying the Pure Drive Roddick with Cortex. Happily i walked out of the store and went immediatly to hit with it. It felt just great, and i was happy that i was using this racquet. Then, i come home, come on TW, and look at the picture of the PD Roddick. I...

Your in luck, i have both, and can hopefully shed some light on this Aeropro Drive: Quite a spinny racquet, it can play pretty dang good if you apply spin on all your shots. Im not a overly spinny guy, just sometimes, and its probably not good on this racquet. APD is more for spinny shots and...

OH MAN someone needs to move this its in the wrong area... if a mod could move it to the racquets forum, that would be great terribly sorry for the mixup

hey all im debating trading my PDR for a 300g or a Mfil300. Im more of an all aroudn court player, who prefers to run up when there's a chance, and hit from the back regularly as well. I havent heard ANYTHING about the mfil 300 or a 300g, but i know the PDR isnt the racquet for me. If anyone...

hey all i might be joining the Mfil 300 club pretty soon. A friend turned me on to it, and i might trade my o3 red or my PDR for one. is the mfil 300 a pretty arm-friendly, all court racquet? what are somethings i can do to make it more of an all-around racquet?

hey all ive got a big problem, Ive used a lot of my money on the following racquets, Babolat APD(got back from babolat) Babolat Pure Drive Roddick Yonex RDS001 Prince o3 hybrid tour and im just a 3.5-4.0 player! I think i have spent too much money and time looking at racquets, and am looking...

ive strung mine with Prince Synth Gut, and i found it plays pretty nicely. i like it a lot, but im looking forward to trying out some Pro Hurricane Tour or Wilson Reaction on it.

is Roddick using the Tournagrip stuff? that blue grip makes his racquet look tight To the best of my knowledge, i think it was mentioned somewhere that Roddick uses the PDR-Plus with Cortex, not the PDR with cortex

i think his is the o3 hybrid tour, which is a really new racquet a prince rep said that it was blake's racquet, but he uses a different hybrid tour, with a different string pattern, different from the o3 H-tour's 16x18 pattern Blake's actual pattern may never be released, but the o3 hybrid...
