    Don't Buy Direct from Wilson

    What did you have to submit in terms of proof of the buttcap breaking off? My pro staff x has this creaking sound towards the buttcap and feels like it’s coming off.

    Ask WTA Dubs specialist who will be at the US Open almost anything tennis related :)

    Do they have only one team (coach, physio, manager, etc)? Do they share rooms to save on costs? What is training schedule like getting ready for a slam?

    The gut/poly thread

    VS mains x Grapplesnake Tour M8 is an amazing setup in my TF ISO 315. Strung it at 55-50. Great feel, power, and spin. Didn’t miss a return in 2.5 sets of 5.0 tennis.

    Thiem, if you don't have the heart, why are you playing?

    Was at the match against manarino. Thiem has lost a step running for the forehand, has lost his shot tolerance, and the forehand is no where near as lethal as it once was. Also, a lot of double faults put him into tough service games. Sad to see him at this level. Challengers may do him some good.

    Yippee KI-Yay, Yibing Wu!

    Disappointing loss to Fokina. Was at the match today for the first set. Good points, few loose errors. Then the rain came and it was a wrap for Wu. Fokina played some great tennis.

    Tennis & golfers elbow on same arm.

    Stop playing until it heals! I had the same thing, here is what helped: Flex bar, active release therapy, ice and heat, going to my chiropractor who used red light and other tools to stimulate blood flow to the area.

    Introducing Grapplesnake USA!!!

    Full bed tour m8 was great. Tried it as a hybrid on crosses with Babolat VS mains. Plays great, but my elbow is hurting. I’ll be going back to just full bed at lower tension.

    Introducing Grapplesnake USA!!!

    M8 full bed at 50 in the pure aero 2023 is magic. No break in. Best string setup I’ve had in years. Good stuff. Just wish the reels weren’t $200+ after taxes. Referred all my tennis players to try the string out.

    The dreaded EOY Rating thread

    Any reason why playing 4 mixed matches wouldn’t qualify me for a M rating? Tennisrecord has me as a 5.0M. I was hurt for the other part of the season. I have a 4.5C rating for 2021 but nothing for 2022.

    Babolat Pure Aero 2022

    Do you work for Babolat or something? I’m just comparing racquets, as many in this thread have already been doing, and particularly where the 98 version is coming out that is supposed to replace the vs.

    Babolat Pure Aero 2022

    I'm currently playing with PAVS. My demos of the Pure Aero 2023 from TW came in yesterday. Hit with them for a bit. Not really sure I am sold on the new version, especially when compared to the PAVS. Racquet feels light, not as stable, and topspin wasn't as easy to generate. Could be the...

    high spin potential poly with the best control or consistent response

    Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7 Tour in 17G. Some people on here, myself included have experienced random breaks in mishits likely due to manufacturing issues but the string is still my favorite. Play with RFA97 and am a 5.0. String is low powered with a lot of spin potential and control.

    Tips to increase swingweight of Yonex VCORE 100 280g

    My wife demoed the Yonex VCORE 100 in 300G weight and really enjoyed the racquet. I went to the TT Forums and bought 2 used sticks from another user for $210 (a pretty good deal), but the racquets were the 280G version (not the 300G). Is there an easy solution (lead tape, etc.) you could suggest...

    tension switching from poly to gut/poly

    I'm a 5.0 player, who formerly played D1. I've been using full bed poly for a while, and decided I wanted to try gut/poly hybrid. I have been playing with Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7 (think that's the name) at relatively tight tensions (56-58 mains/54-56 crosses). I tested out klip legend natural...
