    Why don't more players use K90/Tour 90

    agreed. If you want to see King Roger frame a ball, or swing late, or cough-up a short ball, than watch him on the dirt against someone with a modern power frame. the dirt requires bigger headsizes and more power. nothing worse than watching roger, from 10 feet behind the baseline, stretch for a...

    Yonex 5% tension difference: YAY or NAY?

    Exactamundo. Buy an RDC machine. String your RD7 at 63/59. Then check your stringbed stiffness on the RDC. It will probably register between 74-76. Then cut the strings out and string it at 61/61. It will probably ALSO measure between 74-76 on the RDC. There is no magic [cue ghost noises]...

    I switched from Luxilon. I want to go back.

    good advice. 15L polyester at 40lbs is stiffer at impact than some multis at 60lbs. if you hit with big spin and have good control, you would be surprised at how low you can string poly and kevlar without sacrificing control...

    Yo Mojo

    Guy at my club plays with a T10-VE MP. Loves it, but, on those windy days, would like it slightly lighter, more headlight. I told him that you were the man and would prob know how to solve this problem. Can the bumper be modified so that it retains stability but swings 4 or 5 pts lower...

    How flexible does the Yonex RD-7 feel?

    though very flexible, it has quite a bit of mass, and so the frame tends to crush the ball and always feel very solid. you don't feel the flexing as much as you would expect for such a low stiffness rating -- and the stringbed feels pretty uniform. with some flexible frames, e.g., C10, you get a...

    Weight vs. Swingweight

    My problem with swingweight. I took a Volkl T10G2 and a Babolat AeroPro drive on the court yesterday. I was with 4 people and we all took turns playing with both racquets. Our goal was to test which one felt lighter in play. [the babolat has a lower static weight but a higher swing weight, thus...

    The Gear Trap

    do you ever get lost in perpetual gear modifications, e.g., lead, strings, grips, instead of focusing on mechanics and accepting the inherent variability of tennis, e.g., some days you're hot, some days you're not. or, sometimes you play against someone whose style (pace, spin, etc) makes you...

    Weight Versus Swingweight. help

    Is a 12 ounce racquet with a 315 swingweight suppossed to swing lighter than an 11oz racquet with a 325 swingweight. Because my volkl T10g2 has a lower swingweight than, say, the Babolat AreoPro Drive, but it swings heavier. so -- how am I supposed to interpret swingweight in instances...

    How can so many like thinner gauges and lower tensions?

    higher level players can control the power, and their swings are very clean, which extends string life.

    Bad Swings > Broken strings ...

    Many of the kids who pop strings at our club tend to take late, wild swings against heavy balls. It's funny: the hardest hitter at our club (a 6.4 D1 player who serves 130 routinely) is not a string breaker; however, the people who play againt him break the most strings, and they tend to do it...
