Hi All, I just got a hold of a tennis tutor "jr" ball machine and have a question (an easy one I hope!).... Played with it for the first time for about ~1 hr before the power started dropping off. Not much later it couldn't even make it over the net. I set it up to recharge. Not...

Funny verision of NTRP guidelines? Just wondering if anyone can help me here... I *think* it was here a TW forums that I once saw a very funny take-off on the NTRP guidelines. Basically a translated to something like: 3.5 = You're beginning to think you're pretty good....then realize you...

Hello, I have a lot of trouble playing with all the heat/humiditiy we have been having as I sweat a lot, After an hour or so my palm sweat has saturated the grip and it starts slipping. This kills my confidence and my game. I've tried different overgrips and even a rosin bag which I...

Signum Pro Poly-Plasma 17 I'm interested in purchasing a few sets of this string. It is listed as "out of stock" and expected to be in stock 11/30 (which was yesterday). I realize I could order it now and have it ship when available, but I plan on purchasing a few other items and would...

Hello all, This is a question for those very familiar with seating at the US Open... Last year I went to the open and purchased reserved "court-side" section seats at Loius Armstrong in advance. This year I would like to do the same but there doesn't seem to be much availability and don't...

Rogers Cup ATP Event in Montreal I am thinking of vacationing in Montreal for a few days and seeing this ATP event. I will probably attend on Friday during the day session. Federer won it last year and is scheduled to defend his title. I would love to see him but would be happy to see any...

I love playing, even just hitting around for fun, but always seem to have trouble finding people at my level, local and able to play at the time I can. I know there are "Tennis partners" web sites out there but none of them seem to have anywhere near the activity that the forums here at...

This might be a question for Babolat itself but I thought I would throw it out here.... I recently was given 2 Babolat PureDrive-Plus racquets as a gift. I'm beginning to get used to them but still find them a little too powerful. They are definately less manuverable than standard length...

Just wondering if anyone has any tip for replacing the grommets on my Babolat Pure Drive. The raquet is essentially brand new and the frame guard is broken in 2 places (never seen such cheap plastic on an expensive racquet as these but that is another story). I had a hell of a time getting...
