    Going from light to heavy racquet + string tension?

    Hey guys, I was wondering how the best way to transfer from a lighter racquet to a heavier racquet and whether or not you think I might have my tension too high? There's not much of a difference but I've gone from a 10oz racquet to a 12.3oz and had a hit with it today for the first time...

    Help with tension; opinions on what to get it strung at

    Hey guys, I've got some Babolat Pro Hurricane (17 gauge) string coming in the mail to re-string my APDC. I hit with a western grip and a lot of top spin on both backhand and forehand. I have been playing the last few months with fairly loose strings (40 pounds I think) but would like to know...

    Question about tension etc

    Hey guys. I'm a rookie when it comes to stringing and tensions and weight and all of that.. I have a APDC. It's strung pretty tight. I can barely move the strings with my fingers.. I've been hitting with that for a couple of months, but recently I hit with a racquet and the strings were...

    Fake Babolat Pure Drive Roddick? PLEASE HELP

    So, I brought a Pure Drive on e-b-a-y from an American seller. Came in bag, with plastic on the grip. No pro legacy sticker, no asian tag or anything like that. I think it may be genuine, however I also have some doubts. 1) The butt cap is impossible to open. 2) The TM logo next to the...

    Just a quick word to those on the "we hate Federer" bandwagon

    As a huge Federer and Nadal fan I have to say I am pretty shocked and disgusted at some of the comments I've read. Whether coming from Fed fans or Rafa fans. All I can say is, people need to show some respect. Federer is one of the greatest players of all time in my honest opinion. He is a...

    Best grip?

    Hey guys. I need some friendly advice. I've been using a black Wilson over grip (sorry, can't remember exact type) but it's quite tacky and nice. However, I have heard Yonex make great grips. What would be the best grip to get (in Yellow as I have an APDC and saw it on another racquet and...

    Curved grip "gripper" racquet

    Hey guys. Being bored as I am, I went onto the bay to scope out some tennis gear and came across a very rare and weird looking racquet with a curved grip. Type in: "VINTAGE TENNIS RACQUET BIO SPORTS GRIPPER CURVED GRIP" No, this is not my item or e-bay account. I simply came across it...

    Silly question, don't laugh

    I was sitting with my brother in law tonight.. He was saying that the racquets that the pro's use out on the court, for example Nadal obviously uses the Babolat APDC, are the same ones you can buy in stores. I said that no, the racquets they use are far more expensive. I'm not talking...

    Help with my back hand

    Hi guys. I've been stuck for some while on this issue. I use to hit a 2 handed back hand and then changed to the Federer-styled 1 handed back hand. I now find myself varying between the two due to comfort. I've had a bit of coaching on the back hand but I still get frustrated. I like to...

    Is this a fake APDC?

    Hey guys, This is my first post on these forums. My names Matt and I play tennis every couple of days and have gotten serious the past 6 months. I decided it was time to get a decent racquet and after using a demo from the local pro shop I decided to look on **** and find a good deal on the...
