    The Indian Wells 2023 Thread

    I planning on being there March 10th-12th. I would be down to hit, I'll be driving/camping so flexible on place or location. I would not pay to get a tour to Joshua Tree. You can drive through and pull off and do the basic hikes pretty easily. Honestly, there isn't that much to do IMHO. I...

    Smart Coach Pocket Radar

    I don't think in theory it matters, as it tracts "any" motion. If you swing your racquet, it'll clock the speed of the swing. Using the radar from the front, it is easier to get a "straight" line thus would make it more accurate. With your friend standing behind, surely he had to stand slightly...

    Smart Coach Pocket Radar

    Funny, I was just playing around with one of these yesterday at work. It's quite popular in the baseball world for testing fast balls. Works really well imho. It's suppose to be accurate within +/- 1mph. It calculates speed based on the the "angle" of the the ball going towards the sensor...

    Babolat Pure Aero 2022

    Got my demo from TW. I have played with basically every model of the Aeropro/Pure Aero line for an extended period of them, except for the Pure Aero 2019, which I have only briefly hit with for a few times. My favourite version was the Aeropro Drive 2013 and then the Aeropro Drive Cortex. I...

    Diary of a Racketaholic

    @mad dog1 @Richard Pioline I have a Steam 100 Wilson 16x20 that I've been playing around with for last couple weeks. In summary, I will list it up for sale LOL. I've recently gotten very out of shape, and was looking for a racquet with good power and control but easier to play with/whip around...

    Atlanta, GA (Brookhaven) July 20th-July 31st - Suggestions?

    I'll be staying right next to Brookhaven Park. Anyone want to hit or know of any clinics or places to go in the area? Ideally 4.0+ but I'm always open to whatever. Unfortunately won't have car, but can uber any reasonable distance!

    Mattek-Sands Solid Black Racquet at Chicago WTA 500

    Looks like its a Head model she might be testing out with a decent amount of lead tape? Maybe that new head line they are giving out? I don't know my head racquets well enough to comment though.

    Clash 100 Grommets?

    What are the odds they will be in stock in October? I know they were marked for September 19th but now it shows October?

    Court surface

    This is the way. Resurfucing is pointless. I live in a place with a lot of expansive soil, and older courts are/were constantly cracking. Trying to resurface would result in massive cracks again sooner than later. Once they started ripping out the old courts and putting in/building new courts...

    Anyone ever JB Weld a cracked/broken racquet?

    The seller had the nerve to tell me it was "no big deal" and that all I had to do was replace the grommets LOL.

    Anyone ever JB Weld a cracked/broken racquet?

    It's the frame itself, not the plastic guard. The fibers are so thin, if i press my finger on it, it "gives." In my experience, all the other forms of JB weld/epoxy are much weaker than the two part original JB Weld formula hence me leaning towards that.

    Anyone ever JB Weld a cracked/broken racquet?

    Long story short, a seller sent me a racquet with the head guard portion shaved down to the point where it is "soft to touch." Racquet is pretty much done for. It looks around the level of this picture: I've worked with 2 part jb weld a lot before and think i could do a light skim coat over it...

    Is this a real or fake APDO ??

    Looks like a fake based on the grommets in the throat area. I have a fake aeropro painted like an aerostrike and it has similar looking grommets. If you look at pictures of the real one, the grommets quality is much higher.

    Anyone have a fake Babolat AeroPro Drive (that 2005-2010 era)

    Right around when he Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex came out, I remember there were a TON of fake ones made and sold on the auction site. I think I might have semi acquired one. The funny thing is I actually hit really well with it. I'm trying to figure out if there's any place to get one to test...

    Are all the Aeropro Grommets Compatible?

    Are all the aeropro grommets up to the 2013 compatible? They are backordered until July 22nd, but I see that the Aerostrike and the Aeropro Lite (white) is still available. Would both of those work as I believe they are the same mold? Thanks!

    Live by the Blade...Die by the Blade...

    Anyone have any recommendations for a slightly "softer version of a 16x19 blade?" I'm currently using the 2015, love everything about it but it a little stiffer than I'd prefer. Maybe something in the 62 range. I was using a Pure Storm Team GT (leaded up to Blade specs) but need just a little...

    Tennis at Bally‘s Las Vegas

    I played on the courts at the Cosmo. It was free if you were staying there or knew someone there. They were ok, but not as cool as I was expecting for "rooftop" courts haha.

    Grommet Help - Pure Storm Team GT (2011)

    Hi TW, I'm looking for grommets for my Babolat Pure Storm Team GT (2011). On your website you have a Pure Storm Team grommet, is that the same one? If not, do you have any recommendations on which grommets I should try to see if they fit? It's an odd pattern by babolat... 100 sq with a 16x20...

    I'll be attending 03/08-03/09 for sure, maybe stay even until 3/10. Anyone want to meet up and hit? I'm a strong 4.0/weak 4.5.

    Dual rated people (4.0/4.5): Always the lowest?

    Bingo, most of the time I'll say 4.0/4.5 other times 4.0 if I want to downplay my game. Basically in the tournaments I have played I'll get to the semis/finals/win the 4.0 tournament very consistently. In 4.5 I'll either lose first or 2nd round consistently. Or another way to put it, is I can...

    Is this the correct grommets for Pure Storm GT Team 100"

    https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Babolat_Pure_Storm_Team_Grommet/descpageBAB-BPSTGROM.html I know there were several pure storm teams released. Looking at the 100 square inch one with a flex of 60. Just wanted to confirm this correct before ordering. Thanks!

    I have completely lost my ability to play in the heat

    Without knowing your actual stats its actually hard to give you true recommendations. I could give you better suggestions if you provide said information: 1. What is your height/weight? 2. What is your percent body fat? Or if you don't know, what is your 1RM for Bench, Squat, Deadlift? 3. How...

    I need stability in my life!

    Yup, they all play "close" but its that last 10% that makes a break a racquet. All the ones I listed, I can pick up and play reasonably well, and not be bothered. But over multiple situations and scenarios it reveals itself. The Ezone 98 is a great example. When I first hit with it, I thought...

    I need stability in my life!

    Which string pattern Pure Strike are you using? I'm using the 16x19 (2014) and have been "looking" for a replacement the past two years. I've semi switched for a month or two but have always come back. I find that the 2014, has amazing control, great flex, and ample power. The biggest issue as...

    TW Question: Differences in Tecnifibre Racpack Bags

    Also are the backpack straps removeable? Curious if I checked in the bag at airport they always request straps to be removed. Do you think the bag would need to be checked on airlines?
