    Technology?

    I saw a More Control at Big 5 when I was getting a new pair of shoes. Black/White color, right? Pretty sure that was it. Anyways, racquet tech may be noticeably helpful in some instances (thinking some of the older tech, like oversize and longbody), but it's starting to get a slight bit...

    Did Federer use the Jack Kramer Autograph before the PS 6.0 85?

    If you don't have something nice to say, don't bother f***in saying it BreakPoint, I think what you're aiming at is why of all the wood racquets that could have been used to give that 'classic' player feel, why they used a Kramer, and if it had any special connection to Federer. I would...

    Wood Racquet Care?

    Hi, I was recently cleaning out our church's garage and came across three wood racquets (Wilson Jack Kramer and Billy Jean King Autograph, and a Garcia Cragin Competition C-44). I am an fairly competent tennis player (3.5ish) and took them out to play. The Cragin was stringless, and the...

    What's you're favourite play in tennis?

    Two favorites. First would be the combination of a hard crosscourt forehand, driving my opponent back and to his forehand side, followed by a backhand slice. ooor Ripping a crosscourt backhand when my opponent is rushing the net on the opposite side. :) Jared

    Why would anyone (other than pro) need more than 2 racquets?

    I don't yet have the money to afford two identical racquets, but I do carry two racquets with me, and our coach usually has 3 or 4 backups just in case we go through ours. I've found that the $10-$20 racquets at K-Mart/Wal Mart (Head Standard, Wilson's Line of recreational racquets... etc)...

    Porsche Tennis Racquets

    Well I can understand how you're mostly paying for the branding, but I'm just wondering how well it plays, and if anyone actually uses one around here. Jared

    Porsche Tennis Racquets

    Porsche Energy Racquets Anyone own/demoed one of these? Are they any better than just a conversational 'novelty' item? If so, how well do they play? Thanks, Jared

    How long can you play in the evening? And under the sun?

    I can usually go about 4 hours in the sun before I become too tired to even move around. Obviously, I would have to take short breaks here or there for water and what not, but yeah, 4 hours in the 90-100 degree dry central valley heat. Jared

    Etiquette: Hit overhead toward your opponent?

    During high school tennis season we had a lot of that happening. In doubles the net man would stay close at the net, so on our opponent's second serve the net man wouldn't back up, so we would crush the ball directly at the net guy. We managed to hit a few of them, but generally there were no...

    Racquet suggestions please..

    Yeah, I'm intrigued by this program you speak of. Either way, I have used a Prince AirLaunch OS for a few weeks last tennis season for high school, I have to say I was impressed with it. A little unwieldy at the net, because it's head heavy, but it works well for basically everything else I did...

    Racquet Suggestions?

    Thanks for the tips. My friend's racquet was an older Wilson ProStaff, not quite sure of the exact model, all I know is that it was definitely heavier and considerably head light. The smaller head size appealed to me as well. I'm about to go demo a few racquets, but I was just seeing if there...

    Racquet Suggestions?

    Hello, I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the 'Instruction' forum, but here's my question. I am looking for a new racquet to get as I have improved enough to where my game improvement racquet is becoming a little too powerful for my fuller and faster swing. I am a 4.0, generally play...

    SQL Error?

    I got this while trying to post a reply in the tennis racquet forum: Not sure what it means, and whether it is a problem on TW's end or mine. From the looks of it, it seems to be the latter. Couldn't find a better place to put it, unless my eye's are deceiving me. Jared
