I have been playing with different weights on my frames for a while, but I would like to have some discussion about some interesting things you have seen with this as well. Basically, starting with 8 points HL, adding 5 grams at 3&9 vs. adding the same weight to the handle. From my experience...

I have posted this to the health section, but it might be better off in here! I have been having this strange issue for several years now, but it is getting worse every year. In the past, I would go a play once and get some pain for few days and after short rest I would be good for as long as...

I have been having this strange issue for several years now, but it is getting worse every year. In the past, I would go a play once and get some pain for few days and after short rest I would be good for as long as I don't take a brake for longer then 2 weeks or so. The pain I get is in my...

One of my first players frame was i.Radical OS and after that I played with LM Radical MP for a few years and I liked it a lot! Then the era of TT and Tennis Warehouse came along and I started experimenting for a while and found a great spot with several Redondo MIDs. But, looking at the good...

I checked with TW and they don't have any. They recommended to call Head directly and they told me that they don't make them so there is nothing to sell. Kind of doesn't make sense to me, but that is what I was told. So, anyone knows where I could get a set of 3/8 pallets for the MG Prestige...

The guy used to have the hottest serve on the tour just a little while back! Now, the number of aces is way down from where it used to be. I know it is just not the number of aces that define someones serve, but in Roddick's case, I think this number used to be much higher.

It is kind of sad that so many of top guys abusing this rule and nobody seem to be doing anything about this! To me either take to rule out if you are not going to enforce it or start taking the points against the abusers! What do you think? Fedja

Hi there! I have been dealing with torn TFCC in my wrist for couple of years at least and all that time I was under impression that I am using semi western grip for my forehand. Just recently thanks to the Fuzzy Yellow site, I actually figured out that my forehand grip is eastern in fact...

Hi there! I have to give another chance for my K90 since first three string combinations didn't yield satisfactory results! Origianly, I had GAMMA TNT2 @ 60 and the racket was a trampoline. Changed it quickly to the Prince poli in the crosses @ 58and TNT2 in mains @ 60 and it felt pretty...

I have been using Redondo Mid for over a year and since I am using long and fast swings I was having a lot of fun with it! All of them are stock with no lead on them. Also, I use one handed backhand and it really shines with such a stick! Then, several moths ago I was playing a guy with K90 and...

Hi there! Well, I am in the though spot right now and I am not sure what to do about this. About a month ago I had my freshly strung racquet and went for a hitting session with a friend and then we played several games. Somehow, I was hitting everything so well that I couldn't believe my...

I just got K90 for testing (I just had to try it) and after checking recommended tensions I see it specified for 50-60 lb. Now, I play with Redondo Mid with almost the same size frame and 0.3 -0.4 oz less weight and lot more flexibility and that one goes up to 65 lb for PK recommendation. One of...

For looking at the draw, it looks like Nadal is out in the second round! Not sure why but that is the feeling I have right now! Fedja

Well, I was resisting for a few weeks, but ever since I hit for a short time with the K90, I couldn't get over the feel that I had when hitting with it! So, I decided to give it a try and make sure I can or cannot play with it on the regular bases. So, before I order one what is the...

Since the introduction of the Power Level comparison chart on the TW site I was wondering how they measure different racquets to get those values for each of the spots. Anyone with any info? Thanks Fedja

I am contemplating of trying the K90 since I liked the quick test of it last week, but I am concerned with a possible arm pain due to its stiffness. At the same time when I was hitting with it it felt both stiff and comfortable which is why I am a bit confused about it. What is the word on its...

Hi there! Anyone from Boston (or North shore) area out there that can recommend a good orthopedic doctor that is good for treatment of the elbow injuries? Thanks! Fedja

Hi guys, For the last few weeks after I had a really good hitting day where I smacked every single ball (meaning I was hitting really hard for over an hour) and they where still going wherever I wanted them to go, which just made me to hit even harder. Well, after that day I started to have...

Well, I just restrung my two Mids. One was done with the with GAMMA TNT2 Pro 17 again but this time with 63 lb (instead of 64). the other one got a new string that I have never tried - Laser Fiber Supreme 17 at 58 lb. I played a match with the GAMMA since I though I will be more familiar with...

Of course, you have to increase the weight if you add anything on your handle, but what is the best way to jump a size with minimal weight increase? So far, I tried the sleeve that can be formed with the heat from your fingers, but that thing added 0.4 oz to the racquet, which is way too...

Hi there, I am having problems with the acromioclavicular joint in my shoulder and doctor was saying that surgery is pretty routine and that I will be able to get back to my normal activities within few months. Since I am skeptical of any surgical procedure, I am wondering if anyone has any...

An interesting thing happened few days ago while I was sunning on the treadmill at decent pace (roughly 80% of my max) and I grabbed those bars to measure my hart rate and it was at 185! Now they have a generic chart on the machine itself and for a 40 year old they are saying that hart rate...

Well, if I don't get to play tennis for about 10 days usually after the first time playing I have a pain in my armpit that is linked to my biceps. Basically, the biceps is combined of two muscles. One is on the top that goes all the way to the shoulder. The other part goes on the side closer to...

Well, I am at the though spot right now with my Mid racquet and there are lots of pointers that are telling me to get something easier to play with. I am still stubbornly fighting all of that, but I am not sure how long I will last... Here is the scoop! Ever since I switched to the Redondo Mid...

Hi there! Well, since I've been using Redondo Mid for several months now, I thought it would be nice to share my experience of the racquet with others so I wrote it up under the correct page and submitted it. The message said it will show up shortly, but it has been several days by now and...

I increased the grip on my L2 (4 1/4) Redondo Mid to the L3 (4 1/8 ) by adding the self adhesive layer under the grip and now the stick is additional point head lighter then it used to be (moved from 12 to 13 points). Since my other Redondo Mid is 10 points HL I would like to bring this one to...

Did anyone try Wilson NXT Tour 17 (I'm gona try it on the Redondo Mid)? I am wondering how well it holds the tension and of course how it feels? I am also thinking of trying to hybrid it with either 16s in main and 17s in the crosses or even more aggressive 17s for the mains and 18s for the...

This summer I started playing with the 12+ oz racquet and few months later I still get a bit tired at the end of the second set and level of my game goes down. Well the guy on the other side also get tired at that time which even things out a bit, but I am wondering what can be done to improve...

I was checking the Luxilon BB Ace 18 vs. BB TIMO 17 and it looks like that both strings have the same thickness according to the TW site. Is that a typo or they actually have the same thickness even though one is 17 and other one is 18 gauge? Thanks Fedja

Hi there, This is one of my oldest racquet that was used for a long time. The thing is that I never new any of the specs for this racquet. Right now with the overgrip it weights 12 oz and balance is 4 points HL. Also, it looks about 1/4" longer then my Redondo Mid and a bit bigger. I was...
