after being injured for 4 months now(since late August/early September) my coach is wanting me to switch to a full 1HBH as I have been hitting strictly slice and 1HBH on reaction. With a history of TE in both arms, ~4 years now in right/2y in left, and switching to 1HBH, would it be smart to...

for the most part I understand why you see it as that, but I chose the racket after testing multiple control rackets and my sister has used the same racket after having similar TE pain as me for 3 years now. I did try it before fully making the switch. As for none of them working, some did like...

please forgive me for my lack of understanding but how does wright to the handle allow for shock absorption?

Have head tennis elbow for about 4.5 years now and need soft string or string setup help. Used a rpm blast/xcel hybrid for a while in a Head GTSP then switched to PS VS to go more control oriented. Have tried full bed rpm blast 17 but that went dead fast and began hurting my arm shortly after...

tried and found it less comfortable than Xcel mains Blast crosses and the time before breakage was about the same for me

I used RPM Blast crosses and Xcel mains for nearly 7 months but had to stop due to constant string breakage(heavy spin, long hours, high force). If you’re fine with breaking I would say it’s good or if you don’t want to break to often maybe try RPM Team since it’s softer and I got more play...

is velocity classified as a multi or syn gut? also how does it play in comparison to Babolat Xcel? note: using xcel for its softness due to TE

has one gotten to try hitting with both blue and white irukandji? I want to know if there’s noticeable difference similar to other strings with multiple colors

Demoed the Gravity Pro and MP already and really liked them as control rackets but felt wrist soreness after hitting with them for more than an hour and a half. I eventually decided on the Pure Strike VS but have started having wrist issues come up again after playing with it for three months...

I do warm up both my arms and wrists with stretches before I begin hitting. Are you talking about the kind of brace you put on the forearm close to the elbow like this one...

wdym by “elbow pads” do you recommend any frames, ideally it would need to be a control oriented frame and less powerful than the Head GT Pro

Yes and no, I stop practice after 2 hours usually playing with my current set up. Though I haven’t been able to hit a backhand for the last 3 months Another source of pain could be that my grip is too big? I came from a Head GT Pro L2 with one or two over grips depending on the day. Currently...

I've been using Xcel at 52 pounds for awhile now but have started breaking every 2 hours of play in a Pure Strike VS. I was wondering if anyone can recommend any other string with similar playability and similar arm friendliness, as I have tennis elbow in both sides(about 4 years in the right, 1...

Currently use the Babolat Pure Strike VS, but came from a Head Graphene Touch Speed Pro. I liked the grip on the Speed much more, so I was wondering if it would be possible to swap the grip pallet out of my Strikes and put in Head replacement pallets. If so, anyone know which pallet I should be...

Not necessarily, I mentioned using the Pure Strike VS 16x20, which is 98", which both my coach and I liked, however some balls felt very muted at contact, though I was told this was normal after speaking to my sibling

I am currently losing to players who don't necessarily hit harder than me, but control the point early in the point

unfortunately I found that the Graphene 360 version of the Speed Pro was similar in power to the Graphene Touch version

he has no cut in selling me a new racket, though I could see some coaches trying to pull this. I did try hitting with my sibling's Pure Strike VS 16x20, which my coach liked a lot for me and I felt like I could swing out with. Only gripe with it is that compared to other rackets contacting the...

currently play at a 9-10 UTR range but generally train with 11-12 UTR who overpower me in most points. To address comments regarding why to go lower power, would be for me to be generating my own power instead of relying on the racket/strings to generate power for me. I think it also has to do...

Have been looking at rackets recently and speaking with my coach he wants me to be looking at rackets with less power than my current racket, Head Graphene Touch Speed Pro strung with RPM Blast mains and Xcel crosses, both at 53 pounds. Have tried the Head Gravity Pro, which he thought was good...

I was using Head Velocity 16 at 55 pounds in all except the Graphene Touch Speed, I have to return them at the end of the day tomorrow, would it be worth throwing in my usual strings(RPM mains/Xcel crosses)?

Was wondering if beam thickness is related to comfort: While demoing the new Head Gravity Pro and MP, I found that my arm started to hurt after prolonged use. Tried again with a Graphene Touch and 360 Speed Pro's with pain subsiding. Although the stiffness ratings are similar between the 4...

what tension do they use? since the multi stretches a lot, it might be that the tension is too high?

After about 7 years of stringing, I realized that the slidy awl had a use and had made it a lot easier when doing hybrids with multi in the crosses and poly in the mains

no it's ok, I was thinking about the Tour then realized it's not available

as for the Gravity Tour, isn't it not available in the US?

I am looking to switch rackets as sometimes I lack power on my shots. Though due to my backhand form, it naturally lacks spin, as I use it to neutralize shots instead of looking to take offense off it.

Have been playing with the Head Graphene Touch Speed Pro. I am currently looking into switching rackets and need both recommendations and help choosing. Currently in my cart to demo are: Head 360+ Gravity Pro Head 360+ Gravity MP<--should I keep this Head 360 Speed Pro Head 360 Speed...

same here, though many players switched to 18x20 Speed Pro after I trying my racket

currently still on Graphene Touch Speed Pro but hope that this blows me away to finally make the jump to 360
