I will be getting a couple of these raquets, and wondering if anyone has replaced the grip with a leather grip? If so, what did that bring the weight of the raquet up to, and how did it affect the swing weight. Curious as to some of your other modifciations of this raquet. Thanks in...

I thought the rule was once you play on your first varsity college sports team, you have 5 years to complete your eligibility. If someone comes to school and doesn't compete in any NCAA intercollegiate sports they don't lose any eligibility. That's why when people don't go to college right...

1. Not completely doubles related but a drill called "one ball live" All 4 players start on baseline across the net from each other. Player A feeds a ball cross court to Player C. Simultaneously Player B feeds cross court to D. They rally until someone misses...the person who misses yells...

"I'm going to shove this F@(king ball down your throat!"

yeah it was very hot in AZ this weekend!!! 110 temp on court for any match after 10:30. As a team it was a heartbreaker for us from WI. We lost our first two matches 2-3. A number of each of those matches went to 3rd set 10pt tiebreak...had 6 more points gone our way we would have been in...

Homey, I'm so jealous you got to see him hit!! My friend who lives in Surprise, AZ is going to meet him and watch him play today and/or tomorrow at the Champions tour event! It had to be great to see him play against Cahill, or anyone for that matter. Thanks for the advice. I'm...

I usually play 1 dubs, so we may see them. That'd be fun! My partner is a 23 year old that looks like he's 12...it always throws teams off. They're always asking how old are you? It's pretty funny. He's our team puppy!! :)

I am self rated, and I wish I were (and our team) a bunch of 4.5's but no where close. We have some guys that are computer rated 3.5's that do well at 4.0. I haven't played any 4.0 matches but have played a number of 4.0's in pickup matches and am pretty even with many of them. I think any...

I will be getting in on Wednesday night and will be playing perhaps that evening and twice on Thursday to get used to the conditions. We are actually in the group with the Northern team...we are from the ******* section out of Madison, WI. I feel like we have a very strong team so I think...

Hi all! I'm headed to Tuscon, AZ next week to play 3.5 nationals. This is my first year playing league tennis and I'm so excited to get a chance to play in nationals (I wish my wife felt the same)!!! I'm just curious as what to expect....opponents, the banquet, etc. Pretty much...

John, please don't say "They" you know if was only one of us that had a concern about it, and it wasn't me. It was my headcase of a partner. :)

Goober, I'm one of the doubles players that played the player that the greivance was filed against. He's not a 4.5 doubles player, but a strong 4.0. As a self rate player myself, but with no open experience and only 2 years high school experience (and never making state tourney) I feel like...

Okay I need to make a correction so I don't sound like one of those guys whose rackets are just bought for him. Except for the first one and the 3rd and 4th. I have personally purchased all the rackets. When I said "rackets purchased for me" I meant rackets that either my parents or me...

Wow this is going to bring me back. (I'm only putting rackets that were bought for me, I had used a racket or two of my bro's before I got into tennis) 1. Some pink/black Wilson WalMart frame 2. Prince CTS Synergy (not sure of make) 3. Wilson Hammer 6.2 (the Skunk) 4. Wilson Hammer 6.7...

Klementine, I remember reading a post on here around last summer where some pros (I think Haas is one) that use only 2 or 3 overgrips and no standard grip. I've done it and it works just fine. Not quite as cushiony of a feel, but I have no problems with it.

Thanks for the help all! It sounds like I have a pretty good estimate of around 11 oz, and about 4-6pts HL. I can't wait to play with it. I'm going to try it with the leather first. I know Wilson QC isn't the best, but I'm not that picky to notice small differences. I can adjust as long...

I will soon be receiving 2 Wilson K Pro Tours that come with leather grips. According to TW the specs strung are: Weight: 11.4oz / 323g Balance: 8pts Head Light and it's a standard lenght If I take the leather grip off and just use 2 over grips, what approximately would the balance be...

Anyone played with this string? The guy I just started getting my rackest strung with had a couple of these laying around and put it in my racket. I love it, but it doesn't appear to be produced anymore. I'm just wondering if anyone knows where to find some of this, or what strings play...

I have been to Door County a lot since I live in WI and don't ever recall even seeing more than one tennis court. The only one I have played at is all the way at the tip of the peninsula...I don't recall exactly where as it was in high school that I played. There are definatley no clubs to...

Any 3.5 to 4.5 tennis players living in Cottage Grove, WI on this board? I just moved there (right by some tennis courts) and have very limited time to play. If there is anyone out there please respond to this or e-mail me at gaged99@yahoo.com and we can arrange some hitting times. I am...

Thanks. I'll be sure to try.

I'm just wondering, because the racket I am having a Dickens of a time finding a replacement bumper guard. In case your wondering it's a Dunlop 200g XL. I am asking this question to try and figure out how much lead I would have to put on the top of my frame, along with head tape to keep my...

Hi TW. I'm wondering if you know of where I could find a bumper and grommet set for the Dunlop 200g XL. I really only need the bumper. I was looking at the standard lenght 200g but it appears that that has an 18 x 20 string pattern so that won't work. Any help or ideas would be much...

I am just wondering what steps (besides calling parks are rec. department) I would need to take to start my own tennis class/clinic during the summer. I am moving to a family oriented neighborhood with some really nice courts. I have many years experience playing and a couple coaching...

I checked it out, nothing out of the ordinary. I'm just wondering if there is something wrong with my racket or if I can keep on playing with it.

You know I meant to check that yesterday and I just realized I never did that!! What I do know is that that handle is stuffed full of cotton balls because I have lead in the very bottom of the handle. Perhaps the cotton has compressed a bit and the lead is creating the sound. I'll check that...

I appreciate any advice here....I have been playing with my Dunlop 200g XL's for right around a year (playing only once or twice a week). Just a few days ago one of them out of no where started to make a pinging sound on off center hits. If I hold the handle really tight and far down the sound...

Coria's serve is one I try to emulate! Amazing.

I recently bought some 17g string (Gosen OG-sheep micro) and usually play with 16g PSGD. I am excited to try out the 17g, but was curious as to others feelings...will I really be able to tell much of a difference between the two gauges of string? I know 17g is supposed to have more power...

I wear the same Athletic Works and they work great, especially for the price. Some of the more expensive brands may be a little more comfortable or wick moisture a little better, or slightly more durable, but for 10 bones who cares?
