I use Prince Syn Gut (w Multifilaments) 17 on my K90's--one of them I have strung at 55lbs, and the other at 60lbs for when I am hitting long. Its a great string and lasts long, but definitely not as long as Prince Pro Blend--which is what I had on them before. I had to cut them because...

Thanks Ace for the advice! I just picked up Gilbert's Winning Ugly because I need to get my head straight. It seems to have a lot of perpectives for on-the-court-thinking. I think the mental aspect of my game is overpowering my muscle memory for how to play solid tennis.

Hey thanks to everyone who responded and feel my pain. I understand that I have to work on my fundamentals, and if I was good enough, I should be able to handle any ball coming at me--no matter whether its coming at me with heavy topspin or no spin at all. Its just sad because my friend has...

I have been playing with the same friend for 5 months now and we are at the same level (approx 3.5-4.0). Turns out that in order to play more consistently, he turned into a pusher--spreading junk balls that fall in the court. I should be able to handle shots with less pace, but sometimes when...

I have seen a lot of people bashing the K90 Tour on here for a while now. "The paint job sucks" or "it's too heavy"--Racquet choice depends all on the players' preference. I went an played through all the Babolats and found that these racquets were like hitting with a 2x4 of wood--I wasn't...

Adam--most definitley! I think having a hitting partner that is evenly matched with you, but improving will help you raise your game more. My friend from work and I talk crap to each other sometimes, but at the end we usually try to analyze what went wrong and what we need to work on.

Early preparation and good shoulder turn with the butt cap of the racquet lined up with the ball. Do your best to take it out in front and to stay low. If you let the ball out of your strike zone you will open up too early and it will get high on you and you may return it will just arm...

Count me in! Just got my K90 yesterday from TW. This is a SOLID frame. I didn't shank any shots in my match last night, but there was adjustment time to the weight when on defense. This frame is a true weapon from anywhere on the court! long live the [K] !!!

Joining the Club I have seen this thread many times, but now I must confess...I am a part of this club too. I don't have as many as some collectors I have seen on this board, but I am looking for something to take my game to the next step (its always something, more spin, more power, better...

I just recieved a K90 tour today from TW and it came with a black butt cap....I have seen ones at my local tennis shop with red ones. Do you guys have any info on if there are now differences in the US versions being rolled out concerning weight?

I agree that this is more of an issue of the player on that day, rather than the head size of his racket, blah, blah... I watched the match again last night and realized that Nadal is a complete beast on this surface and Fed had to bring only his best game that day. I felt that Federer...

What's even worse about NBC is that for another straight year, they won't be showing championship weekend in High Definition....last weekend they broadcast the matches with bars on the sides.

hyrulemaster--you bring up a good point. I am a 34 year old 4.5-5-0 player--I have been playing since I was 16, and I have switched two years ago to the mid-plus radicals from using oversize all my life. I appreciate the heft and control from the mid-plus and I am starting to get caught up in...

I agree with Tennis Hand big-time! This generation of players cant measure up to what the last generation did at the french--Courier, Chang and Agassi managed to come through and win and they never grew up on the dirt.

I had a 2HB for about 17 years.....but I have always wanted a 1HB. It feels like you are able to swing away. With the 2 hander, I felt like my wrists were "tied together" recently switched to a 1 hander and I have more control.
