Hi, I'm getting old and this club is too much on my body. What's a good replacement racquet that is not too far from how this plays? I was thinking the new wilson blade 93? Thanks for any input

Thanks for all the replies. I do believe I have to get 4 1/4 buttcaps at this point. While waiting for replies I actually just put the buttcap on with no glue or staples. I tightened the wrap on the main grip and tightened the overgrip even more. I hit last night for 2 hours and it actually...

Hello, I recently shaved down the grips on my blx6.1 tours. The stock 4 3/8 size was too big so I shaved it down to about 1/4. Here is my problem, after taking the pins out of the buttcap (in order to remove the buttcap), it's hard to re-secure the buttcap. The original staples are no longer...

I think the quickest/most effective thing to do is make sure your groundies are hitting deep...this way, he cannot hit great dropshots. More than likely if he tries a dropshot off a deep shot, he'll pop it up and you should be able to hit an approach winner or at least set yourself up to close...

I'm similar to you. I think that you have to pick a style and commit to it through thick and thin. If you play at the 4.0 level or below, it may not be a huge deal to switch during a match. 4.5 and above you need consistency. Also, I'm sure it's tougher to return with a 1HB compared to a...

Hello, For Everybody With The New Blx 6.1 Tours...does It Seem Like The Stock Grip Sizes Run A Little Big? I Have A 4 3/8 Grip And They Feel Closer To A 4 1/2. Maybe It's The Hard Leather Grip? I'm Considering Tryin The Wilson Pro Hybrid...but I'm Not Sure If This Grip Would Add Overall...

1. the reverse lob [singles]...when i go back to retrieve a deep lob. and i reverse my forehand grip and hit a lob while running toward the back fence. when most people hit a deep lob, they rush the net for the easy put away...unless you can effectively lob them back. 2. overhead lob...

yes, thank you...with the high crew cut.

i would always try to play the best competition. age will eventually catch up with you and you can play down. if you're relatively healthy, go for 4.0

what a db! did you guys continue the league or just stop?

good one mamawasp on stepanek, wasn't it krajicek who had the mid air scissor kick? that wasn't only annoying it was just plain stupid.

as much as i play, i overlook the exercise aspect of it. the problem with me and i don't have fun playing tennis unless i'm playing against somebody at least as good as me.

thanks nuke

old school annoyance... patrick rafter saying "sorry mate" over and over

i used to pay about $20-25/per racquet. i would encourage buying a stringer as well. i purchased one off **** for about $180. within 4 months, i made my money back in what i saved by stringing myself. let's say the avg cost of a stringing job is $20/racquet. if you purchase a reel and...

Two Words...shuff, Ling

how do you post an image inside a post?

if you have general direction issues, it's probably your footwork, then hips then shoulders. as a general philosophy, moving the ball around the court requires different combinations of all 3. next time you're out hitting, make a note of where your feet, hips and shoulders are when you're...

dude, i don't want an $80 Polo polo shirt

i talk to my partner is doubles and i answer any questions that my opponents may ask. other than that, i prefer to focus on the match. plenty of time to catch up after the match. what drives me crazy are the opponents that will open up after they take the first set. it's like they can...

a suggestion is to learn to play without any external support. if your performance is tied to who is there to support you, you will not get far. self-confidence is something you have to build for yourself by yourself. if you learn to perform regardless of who's around, then you're...
