After weight mods and taking encap off many times, endcap lugs for the staples and the handle area holding the staples is worn out and now the end cap keeps comming off when I serve. Also the handle surface ( near new Head prestige tour) is starting to tear pieces off after several removals of...

I have several Cap Grommets on Head Satellite Tour rackets which are damaged and cause strings to break. As these sticks are obsolete, but I still prefere them to my new LM-Prestige, I would like to buy new Capgrommets for them. Any ideas where I can obtain these? Thanks

Thanks SW , just found the other topic which was simmilar dated 15Nov which has a lot of this info allready on it and which I overlooked when I searched the site for the info I am looking for. I will try and string at 60 to start, considering that thinner strings will loose tension faster and...

I like the Wilson sensation 16G but would like a bit more bite on the ball for more topspin and stronger kickserve. Have bought Wilson sensation 17G to try and achieve these objectives. I string 16G at 62 lbs in LM-Pres MP. What should I do with respect to string tension with 17G to a)...

Do tennis strings synthetic type such as eg Wilson Sensation or Head intelstring etc perish if they sit about on a shop shelf? How long before they are perished if at all, provided of course they are not sitting in the sun etc. What is proper way they should be stored at home if purchassed...

I remove endcap, fill a bridge across with liquid silicone about 1 inch from end to stop weights moving forward into cavity. Then use small fishing weights until I reach required feel. Once correct weight is determined I use some more liquid silicone, just to glue the lead pieces together...

Some string material will get very fragile at below freezing point and this may result in tension on the string popping same. Depends how fragile the string, how cold it gets and how tight racquet is strung. Take it into the motelroom with you if you have doubts or string the racquet at the...

Thanks guys, now I just realized why my T10MP has such a small sweetspot... as in my post a few days ago. It is in fact a quantum 10 tour! Just tried a new demo 10 tour and it is a world of difference as far as playing is concerned

Thanks guys, NoBadMojo, I have added weight at the end of the handle to make T10MP 11 points headlight, and comparing the tension sound of strings when tapping with frame seems much tighter on T10MP compared with what should be the same string and tension on the LM Prestige. Maybe he strung it...

Find T 10 MP to have very small sweetspot (only about 2 inch diametre)and totally unforgiving also on slightest off centre hits. Hitting sweetspot places ball very accurately, slightest off centre hit will spray ball up to 4 feet off target. Can it be my choice of string or stringing? I use...

Trade the racket bach through e-bay and get riht size grip! This is an open invitation for serious injury. Like driving a car without shocks on a gravel road.

I have been doing this for several years now, I found it difficult to play a proper game against soft hitters which hit with a lot of backspin all through the game. And same in reverse against hard hitting topspin players, using the same racquets for both type of players. Therefore allways use...

Had the same problem after playing for 5 years with extended sticks. Kept framing the ball at the top end when under pressure. When I switched back to my XL this problem immediately disappeared. But as they do not make my raquet any more in XL version I had to change back to the short version...

When you make your measurement of temperature in the boot, be aware that opening the boot the slightest bit will allow the heat to escape out the side gaps and suck in cooler ambient air at the lowest point. Therfore the measuring instrument may react to the flow of ambient air over it when...

Why dont you buy it and tell us all what Federes winning Wimbledon racquet really was, and settle this topic once for all! Federer has donated his very own winning Wimbledon racquet to the swiss olympic fundraising charity! (Auction closes on 28th August.) You can find it under following...

It is a legitimate charity organization which in this case was formed for raising funds for the swiss olympic cause, hence 0 feedback ( first time for Athens olympic since existence of ****.. ). As you can see from the list, all swiss athletes with any name have donated something worth...

Here is your chance guys, to find out what Federes winning racquet really plays like! Federer has donated his very own winning Wimbledon racquet to charity! (Auction closes on 28th August.) Just found it mentioned in a Newspaper article. You can find it under following location...

Have seen broken Head frames as well, but none of the LM range. Reason however was racquets had all been wrongly strung! They used one piece string ( instaed of two piece) and strung them to the upper end of tension range or above. With misshits they broke mainly at the point of directional change.

A friend of mine still likes and uses the old Rafter Prince Precision Response 660 racquets and needs to replace the cap grommets. Does anyone know what cap grommets he could use as substitute, of where he could still get originals from? The PR660 has not been made for at least 5 years and...

What string are you using now and at what tension? Have you lead taped the head in any way? I find the T10MP brilliant with 55pd tension in both directions, using a soft string Wilson sensation supreme 16 VET5. Have tried various strings and tensions. Found that tensions of 60 and...

Switched to V-T10MP about 3 Months ago after demos of Prince Tour NXG, Head LM-Prestige and V-T10MP. Played Head i.Prestige and Prestige before for several years. Played demos for about 6 hours each and waited for effect on shoulders, elbow etc. Found handling acceptable for all 3, Head...

Play with Voelkl Tour 10 Mid ( but not V), tried various strings and found "Wilson Sensation Supreme 16 VET 5" the most durable and very smooth to play, hardly feel any impact baseline or volley, and especially with miss hits. Also not bad for bite on ball. Maybe a bit lower punch on...

Questionfor jayserinos99 I,m looking to upgrade from Prestige Tour to LM-P or Volkl-T10 as well and wd like to ask you which racquet had less vibration and which therefore is less stressful for arms and shoulders? My game is all court not just baseline, any preference for this aspect between...

Most pro's are superstitious, they do not step on lines, do not change winning caps, shoes etc. Why would anyone at this level in contrast change to a new racket if they get to be nr. 1 with the one they have used for years? Aren't we amateurs changing racquets only to try and improove our game...

My LM Radical OS is too head heavy for me, would like to change it to -10 from standard -3. How is the lead best applied to get best effect from this racquet ( under butcap or along sides of handle, all the way along, or wrapped like the grip with thin foil?) I am used to playing with...

TH820 is very stiff and unforgiving, 28 " no longer made and the xL adds to the stress. Try to demo a Head LM4 and if you buy one maybe use softer string like Wilson Sensation 16 and string to say58 and see how it feels and compares. Unfortunately racquet-manufacturers are only producing...
