BUMP. I got several demo racquets with this string on it. Anyone have any idea the identity of this string other than it's TW's own concoction? I also got them in conditions that are less than ideal - soft and mushy like these racquets haven't been serviced in a while. When I did try them they...

My assumption is that some of the higher static weight specs offer more headlight balance, thus theoretically could yield lower SW range? At least that's my understanding with previous correspondences with Paul. The TC range typically is between the 290-300 unstrung SW range, IIRC, and typically...

But it's 294 SW if you go with 300 grams/ 325 mm balance spec, I assume. The SW could change if someone goes with a totally custom option or requests a balance point more headlight than 325mm.

Another pet peeve of Yonex racquets - not enough larger grip sizes like 4 and 5 available for sale or they simply don't make them.

A semi-stupid question for those who are late to the Regna bandwagon - can you even buy on off the shelf at a local tennis shop in Japan like any other retail racquets, or it requires a special order? Anyone knows?

What if this is the next reissue from Tennis Warehouse?? Come on, TW! Make it happen!

It's annoying when Yonex make limited edition PJ racquets they don't offer grip sizes bigger than size 2 and 3. Yonex grip sizes tend to run smaller than industry standards.

What are the specs on your TC95 and how does it hit compared to the CX 200 Tour?

Both scenarios are equally likely - OP isn't getting the playing time she wants and even though leaving a work conference a day early is a hassle, there are no adverse consequences in leaving early. Anyone who have gone through similar situations where the captain isn't particularly transparent...

Hello, I'm an experienced 4.0/4.5 hitter interested in hitting or rallying singles with anyone in the south Miami area (e.g. Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Cutler Bay) and have access to clay courts. I was supposed to arrive in Miami today at noon local time but my flight got delayed. If anyone is...

...and a video of James Blake endorsing the new line posted on Facebook earlier today.

Hey TW, Any information on US release date of the Dunlop Srixon racquets, specifically the CX and CZ lines? Here is a YouTube preview from Dunlop. Any info is appreciated!

^ Why would you get the weights 7" from the buttcap? I remember seeing it written somewhere but forgot...

I had a similar issue with TW about another racket where they said the grommets are discontinued, but the manufacturer said they were not. What's up with TW purposely not trying to carry/keep in stock grommet sets for older rackets that are only one or two generations old? That's not going to...

TW posted swingweight and flex higher than the KBT. I thought the BLX version is supposed to be softer...

^ I'm not all that concerned about the legitimacy of paying for someone's fees. It's a free country so do what you want. As a captain, I make it a point that I don't do this because I the people I've run into who asked me to cover for them fall into two categories: 1. The "poor" guy who...

^ But a "reversal of fortune" is just a nice way of saying a person doesn't know how to adjust their lifestyle knowing they have less financial means to enjoy a hobby. It shouldn't be incumbent upon others to support a lifestyle you can no longer afford to enjoy.

If someone is so poor that they're making life decisions between spending money to play tennis or being able to make enough money to put food on the table, I would question their priorities rather than figuring out if they're any good on the tennis court. Paying for someone or being asked to...

HPS 5.1? So Pro Open PJ's are just the old original Surge racket? Can someone confirm?

At the risk of sounding a bit chauvinistic, it could be a chick thing. I know at my club there are certain women who are determined to control the social agendas of the club. These women are usually 3.5, they almost never will go the extra mile to play to win (or make the normal strategic...

Play USTA NTRP tournaments in singles or doubles. Plenty in Southern California and definitely enough competition for you to handle at 3.5.

Because everything is big in America. We have the biggest cars, fattest kids, and now we got to have a long-ass rule book on tennis.

It's definitely not meant for your shirt pocket. It's too wide. It's almost like a size of a small reader. If you flip through the PDF file of Friend at Court, it's a pretty big file.

So small even the book can be handled with pig's feet.. It's a small thick book about 300 pages, spiral bound.

^ Some people have a thick skin..

There's not a whole lot you can do about losing to a guy who just shows up with one racket and a bottle of water. That's got more to do with game than equipment preparation. You can only control so much on perception, but I see your point. I used to be that guy - man with two rackets, a jug...

^ The worst type of call, IMO, are out calls when the player isn't even looking directly at the ball. I've seen way too many of those around my neck of the woods..

It's a way of demonstrating that you are aware of the situation and you won't get pushed around by bad calls. In the minds of many, this is a twisted logic that works out somehow.

^ No offense taken, and no I'm not in favor of such practice where you make "discretionary" calls to get things to work out in your favor. I've had people get really mad at me for my calls but I've never consciously hook people or premeditate to end a point that's close on the line. For whatever...

Drama and pettiness in matches become less severe in 4.5+ level based on my personal observations, but you can find a bad apple anywhere. Case in point, there is a 5.5 man in my section who hooks people like no other. On balls that hit the back half of the baseline (but still hits the line) are...
