Why is Head Lynx Tour 1.25mm so good? What does Head’s testing reveal? Control and consistency are outstanding, yet is plenty soft for a poly. Are the edges somewhat rounded, and does that contribute to the consistency? Would a round version contribute anything, or is the current design optimal...

Want big, loose, accurate serves right away.

I strung her first racquet with Head Velocity MLT 1.25mm at 53#. I had been handling nothing but poly for so long I had forgotten or never knew how soft, pliable, and threadlike multifibers are. Really low tension would have been a really bad idea. She likes the hit of it and it makes a nicer...

Imprinted “synthetic gut 1.30” is in her main racquet that I am restringing. Not sure about the backup racquet, strings felt softer when I pushed on them. Have a set of Head Velocity 1.25 arriving today. I am still leaning low on the first test tension, but not as low as before. This woman may...

Thanks for all the professional input. I knew here would be a better place to post than “strings.” Actually, her current string is imprinted “synthetic gut 130/16.” It feels stiff, looks old. My ancient (2 hours) Alu Power slides much easier. Stringmeters show about 48-50 for the mains and...

Got some Wilson 1.25 gut for my doubles partner. She is fiftyish, strong, works out two hours a day (superhot, want to get this right), but has some wrist and arm issues. She hits lots of pancake shots but also some nice forehand and backhand strokes. Can’t imagine she would ever break a string...

https://www.futurity.org/visual-system-fast-moving-objects-1839702/ I recall postings years ago about consciously moving the eyes to the future impact point (preception?), which was quite helpful on return of serve. The above article is about the brain extrapolating the old speedy object...

Looking for a good enough place to relocate for a year or more to get my tennis game as good as it can get. Will only play on clay, and like the idea of east coast beaches and breezes. I like to play a lot of tournaments and would like to have several affordable clay court clubs and facilities...

Oops, corrected to 16x19. Yes, 16x9 would be very fast wear.

Anyone know what the pins are in the video? I have been thinking about diamond coating awls of various sizes for an ultralight personal stringer. I would want to use a lot more force than in the above video to completely eliminate drawback, I hope. Damage to the grommets and polyester string at...

Well worth it. I am no good at all without fresh strings, so fun stringing is important to me.

I recall seeing that one somewhere. Amazon has the below, used, for $12. Your shaft may be different. It would be a lot better if it was 3 inches tall, like above. The sleeve that holds the shaft looks like it is only about an 1 1/2 inches in length, which may not be enough. My last Revo had a...

See a real medical doctor/physician/scientist. I am not one but your symptoms are much worse than what I had and from what I can tell you may be doing severe additional damage looking for a quick fix. My issue required six weeks minimum to mostly resolve. More time is probably better. Tennis is...

Wow. I had been looking at what are described as “medium duty” bearing assemblies for mounting a 602FC turntable and Wise to a 6061 aluminum rectangle for a portable, light, modular solution. It is a small thing, but I do like a nice bearing rotation. Am very interested in your results...

Loosen the grub nut, remove the turntable by pulling straight up. Then tighten the four bolts, if necessary. I doubt that is the issue, though. The sleeve the turntable pin fits into is a very hard plastic, wear part. Exact adjustment of the grub screw may remove most of the wobble you see...

My observation is proportion is very difficult for all our brains. Examples being Hillary’s emails, medical doctors inflicting us with the opioid epidemic, and someone above suggesting jail for some little person in the world obviously trying their best for their little pumpkin, which...

The selfies and glamour pics are very nice, but how about more action shots? Athletic women flying through the air smacking tennis balls boosts my morale, for sure. Did those Muguruzus a few pages back about knock anyone else out? Thinking more, athletic women flying through the air smacking...

Good point. I recall a few times when a foot clomped down so hard I was stunned at the sound. Didn’t hurt my ears but no good at all for the body.

Also, there is something about time. Everyone says so.

Yes, but those are amusing sentences. Laughed myself silly before I even saw this thread. (Getting ahead of myself, here.)

Roger uses quantum. He sees and/or feels impact before impact. Those freaky shanks may be due to fluctuations, can’t be helped without A LOT of computing power.

My guess is all you need is one or two more practice sessions to get over this tiny hump.

Is your mental block your perception of having a mental block? Practice pounding short sitters for winners. Obviously, you could be much better at that.

Wow. Look how her fingers wave to make micro balance adjustments.

Wow. Figured it out as soon as I pulled my parts apart to examine for the second time. All I need for each side is 6061 aluminum rectangular stock, about 3/8 in. x 7/8 in. x 2 in. Then tap a hole in an end for fore and aft movement from my current Gamma knob, and another tap 90 degrees to that...

That is a good idea, and it is giving me some ideas.

Those do look nice. But I am hoping to come up with a light, strong, cheap, and fast assembly for the current towers. Need to save some money for strings and food.

Yes, but not quite. Squeezing flying clamps over and over, or lifting drop weights over and over, is about the last thing I want to do when matches are coming up fast.

Yes, I have the Wise adapter, but I think I need an adapter for the adapter, to spread the load from the far side of the machine to the near side (6 inches), and also up the side rails towards the turntable 6 to 10 inches. From what I can tell from a photo, Gamma has extensively beefed up the...

Yes, what is needed is a swap out at the 6 and 12 positions, to make a strong clamp down, with some fore and aft movement via knob. Would like to remove entire upper frame support assembly.
