I can't remember the last time I got a cramp in my leg before playing 5 hrs of tennis but this weekend I got a cramp in my achilles then calves after 2 hours. I'm blaming it on a 24 oz ribeye because I can't think of anything else. I went home stretch my calves 2 days in a row and used 'the...

Anybody ever had to do it and know of a good way to remove silicon from handle?

What do you guys do to make sure your nerves don't get that best of you and make you tighten up during a match? Sometimes I try to just focus on how I'm supposed to hit the ball. Focus on one point at a time. When I think about winning or losing I get really tight really fast.

I've read a bunch of posts on adding weight and racquet customization and just want to get the opinion of others here. After about 10 diff racquets over 2 years, I've gone back to an old microgel radical midplus. I've ordered the microgel prestige caps (just for aesthetic reasons) to put...

I don't know what it is but shipping prices seem to be going up. A year or two ago it was around $11 to ship. A couple weeks ago it cost me $16 from UPS so I tried USPS today and it cost me $23!!! my gosh. I had to use their 24 x 16 x 4 box or something like that, of course a 27inch racquet...

Can someone that has Luxilon alu power 16L describe to me the physical characteristics of the string itself. The last set I had, I remember it feeling crunchy if you bend it and was thinking that must be the aluminum in the string haha. I just got some string from China and I was worried...

Would you guys ask for your money back or just play?

Head Microgel Radical midplus head guard. Anybody know where I can buy this?

How much of a difference is the surface now? I heard it slowed down? Are they slowing everything down now so the ratings go up? Kinda like when the nba brought in the 3 point line. Would Nadal beat Fed on the old surfaces at AO and Wimbledon? They should speed the courts up to bring back...

Anybody get the nike.com store credit from the 6 month warranty from the original pair of shoes, buy another 6 month guarantee pair of shoes with the store credit, then get another pair or store credit? lol. They gave me a $125 credit for the online store only for a pair of $80 shoes which is...

Have you ever played like this before? My cousin is doing this, it seems ludacris to me.

What is your strategy vs this type of player. This is at about the 4.5 level. Decent serve, big FH not much topspin more flat. Basically no topspin BH. Maybe < 10 hits from BH side will be topspin during a 3 set match. The slice is pretty good stays low. I've been trying to keep it to...

What model or specs does a video camera need to take some footage of hitting on the court. something that will capture the sound of the ball and isn't choppy when viewing the video.

I have a basic klippermate drop weight. I'm testing out different poly's and strung some gosen sp 17 pretty much the same way as syn gut. Yesterday I strung my racquet with some poly polar 17. Weird thing was my racquet usually needs 17 feet for the crosses. I only had 14 feet and decided ...

I just got my first set of Luxilon fluoro about 3 weeks ago. I'm very curious about polys. Read a lot about their durability and access to spin, but they lose tension and go dead quicker? I usually changed my syn gut 16 every two weeks when they broke. But I guess polys dont break that...

Anybody try this hybrid setup? Lux fluoro 17 for main and Wilson sensation 16 for cross? Does it need to be same gauge? You can see here I'm trying to get the power and spin of lux , but also an emphasis on comfort.

What's your opinion on these racquets? I was considering switching from the radical to these other two but decided to stay with the radical. The radical and kblade 98 have almost identical specs. They had almost the same power and feel except the flexpoint felt a little lighter and...

Can anybody recommend a tennis shoe for someone with flat and wide feet. I have to buy insoles with arch support and buy them a tad big and wear two socks. I've been getting cheap shoes from Big 5 for like $30 bux but will consider upgrading if someone thinks its going to be better for my...

Does anybody know of a racquet that is under 11.5 oz very very low power midplus I used to have a ps original 6.0 but seemed to get tennis elbow a lot from it so I switched to a head fxp radical. I don't get tennis elbow anymore but it has too much power. It's strung at 58 lbs. and...

What do you guys recommend? Are there boxes for racquets at post offices? Do you just put it in the racquet cover and maybe bubble wrap it? Thanks.

I have a klippermate drop weight stringer. After almost 2 years stringing , it takes me about an hour 15 min while watching tv. I already expect it to take a long time so I dont even try to concentrate and go fast. I really slow down when doing the crosses doing the over and under thing. I...

I will hit a hard slice 1st serve to the opponent's bh %80 of the time. I'll throw in a huge flat serve at their body or down the T maybe 5% of the time and %5 kick serve to ad side serve and volley and prob dbl fault the other 10%. Usually in a 3 set match,The first set I will win a lot...
