    Guys only: best legs and other best female issues

    Anyone seen the mythbusters episode with Kari Byron in tennis gear? Pretty quality stuff.

    is djokovic's real racquet a 95 or 98 headsize?

    Both. Measured from the outside of frame, as head frames are, it is a 98. Measured from the inside, as all other manufactures do, it's a 95. It's basically a 95, as all head 98 sq in frames truly are.

    How to hit low skidding forehand?

    I've found anticipation is best. For the most part, I can recognize when a ball is going to be heavier and or skid, allowing me to set up earlier for it and make the proper adjustments( I will up the pace up and come through the hitting zone faster instinctively) because I know I'm going to have...

    High School Doubles

    You would haven't made it out of any of the big (4A and 5A) tennis districts in Texas, let alone regionals.

    Sliding on Hardcourt

    What do you consider the backhand lob slide? Like when a player slides into it and just gets enough racket on it to throw up a lob.

    A few serves

    And the fact that I am a computer rated 4.0 player in Texas. It is LeeD after all. I need to upload some second serves so people will get off my case about bombing the flat serves. I have a very reliable second with considerable pace and placement and if the flat isn't working for me on any...

    A few serves

    If by most, you mean half, then yes. Not saying it's a great percentage, but as I already explained, the nets were a result of the toss. Regardless, that is independent of my actual motion.

    A few serves

    Just a few serves. The ones that ended up in the net are a result of poor timing, sometimes I have a habit of letting the ball drop too much. When I'm having an on day though, it's tough for me to get broken. These were clocked using the iphone app that uses frames at about ~110 in case anyone...

    My (Maybe the Best?) Definition of NTRP Standards

    Your definitions are off, this is it how it is defined by the UTSA who oversees all the tennis in the USA. This is the most official and 'true' definition by far. This player has limited experience and is still working primarily on getting the ball into play. 2.0 This player needs...

    Water Softners

    http://home.howstuffworks.com/question99.htm Pretty simple concept though, deals a little with reactivity series( basically a displacement reaction of sorts). Calcium and magnesium which are the main culprits of "hard" water alter the taste of it( think of cavern waters and rural water sources...

    New Graphene Radicals/Prestiges for 2014

    Interesting that it was stated no 18x20's but the bridge still has 4 string holes. Find it hard to believe they would stray away completely from 18x20.

    How does Babolat handle their warranty?

    It should be noted that they could possibly send you a different style of shoe, and a different color than the pair you send back. I sent in a pair of white propulse 2 and they sent me back a pair of propulse 3 in the blue/green colorway(very ugly shoes).

    Young kid at the club, using poly, restringing every 4-6 months

    These threads are ridiculous. First off, he's not your kid, so it's not your obligation to say anything to his parents/coach let alone to post a thread on a public forum about it. Secondly, this notion of "poly is bad for your arm, you should really be using multi at that age" is ridiculous too...

    Ojai Tennis 2013

    Fritz guy has a big forehand. Surprised he doesn't generate more pace on his serve. It looks like a very lazy motion with little explosion. It could probably be pretty big with some tweaks. Other guy had a very weird motion but could really bring it( although his first serve percent for the...

    Any tips for my serve?

    Surprised no one has commented on your speed yet. Major live arm and acceleration. Easily hitting 110, which is plenty good at any rec level.

    I think ive been sold a fake

    It looks like you may have bought a junior version. The racket in question looks shorter. They didn't make fake flexpoints. Wasn't worth counter fitting.

    Babolat Aero Pro Drive GT...real?

    Sharapova plays lefty

    Anyone with a solid two hander on the pro tour should be able to comfortably hit a lefty forehand. And they are naturally hitting right handed forehands, which is essentially a lefty backhand.

    The "What's right with her?" thread

    Kuznetsova quietly making her way through the draw, pretty convincingly too. I like her chances tonight against Navvaro. Svetlana had a bad 12 season, but she has the game to win slams if she keeps her head on. I think she will return to form this year or at least make a presence in a few of the...
