That's kind of a bummer, not gonna lie

Updated Phatoms looking very good - anyone know if the 93P will come back as well?

I came here specifically to post about the Ultra Tour/Pro (I also have mine set up like my PT57s) but the more and more I read about the 2023 Prestige Pro the more I feel like I have to try it, would be nice to get back into a proper Head racquet...

You guys are uh...you guys are starting to think a little too much into this stuff.

They actually tried this already (very briefly) in the early 2000s - if you look deep enough you can find a photo of Kiefer with his name on the back of his Diadora shirt as it was trialed at a few select events during the clay season. Didn't work then, probably won't work now either, just...

Oh man this is gonna be a great thread.

Around here the understanding of what it takes to serve well seems limited to "be tall, hit big", but I agree with you, absolutely no reason someone his height shouldn't be able to serve big. Live shoulder, smooth/slightly elongated technique and rhythm and great leg drive, it's a great serve.

Well he came up playing PT10s and 57s, and as you know it's so hard to get away from the feel/spec of those when you get them working right...

This is a wild take lol, 12th on the all-time titles list = lazy attitude

Forget the frame, what time capsule did she pull those shoes out of? Even sealed and stored in a vault the've got to be more than 20 years old, I'm shocked the upper and sole don't separate on the first stop/slide.

Two shot in the dark guesses: Tursunov and/or Gulbis?

Lol absolutely not. He's not even the best player to win the tournaments he has won.

Based on what, exactly?

They really went ahead and made those courts the worst possible colour for video didn't they? Incredible.

There is absolutely nothing slow-paced about modern professional tennis.

Wow it's almost like they know that the people buying them are already planning to put lead on them...

With the number of people in here seriously suggesting Med should have conceded the point (should he have done so if Kyrgios had caught a ball that was going long?) is insane, this board is getting wild.

Some of the takes on this board are really starting to get wild.

There's some interesting takes on both sides here but I think some people are overthinking it, which...I guess is the point of the internet. 40-40 is deuce, and 30-30 is 30-all because they're actually not identical situations. While yes, in either situation the next point is a game or break...

The number of "technique experts" in this thread is absolutely hilarious :-D

I did, I'll check them out!

I just wish they'd bring the ZZ back somehow. The Zoom NXT sort of seems like it could (or should) do the trick, but the ZZs were so good and getting them in a 9 is getting harder and harder.

Yeah and he doesn't actually look that bad, but he's not playing his game. Whether that's due to fitness, fear of re-injury, or just readjusting to competition he's not a player that can really win matches without imposing his physicality on the flow of play, and right now he looks very behind...

I don't understand how you can look at some of the matches this tournament has had so far and claim it's bean bad. Get your eyes checked OP.

Does Isner abuse aces? I think it makes his serving more predictable. What do you think?

Whatever the final number is, Zed's contribution will be 0.

100% - they should get equal prize money either way (a Grand Slam win is a Grand Slam win, whether people like it or not) but if the desire from the players is there then they should also play Bo5 because it absolutely is the most thrilling and interesting form of tennis. This is the same reason...

Honestly this is such an insane, hilarious power/control move and so very, very Nadal that I truly hope it's true. And the Yonex grips are considerably better than Babolat's so like...there's a chance...

I get the overall point of this question but literally nothing about his game actually works as it should for someone as tall as he is. He basically plays like he's 5'8 already so what would a "mini" version matter?

Yeah that's kind of my main point; each H19/22 is going to be different from player-spec to player-spec, and of course different to retail, but the overall feel is there. The layups on the retail stuff aren't going to be quite as custom-tuned/soft/whatever as the player-spec stuff, but when you...
