I was on a couple of USTA leagues last year that started in late fall and went through Spring. This year they have two shorter seasons instead, one ending in December and the other starting in January. Doesn't this mean I need to join two different teams for the same amount of playing time...

Do we judge whether the bottom of the ball touches the line to be in or use the circumference? If part of the ball is overhanging the line but not touching it, is it in or out? I always thought it was circumference and called it that way, but seeing shot spot it looks like they are picking...

Hi Tim, just an update. I bought the PVG 3 months ago and have been using it on my new rackets. At first I had complained about my index knuckle hurting. I think that was due to my trying to move around more toward eastern on my continental volley which the PVG would not allow. I still...

I wanted to see how the Blackburne double strung racket would behave with a bit lighter head, so I picked up some Head Power Fibergel and 19g Gamma TNT Fusion string to try out on it. I had heard the Power Fibergel was really light. I believe one poster had these strings at about .17 oz...

Half Hitch knot I have been stringing for a few months but I think I am confused about the half hitch knot. I had been following Silent Partner's document on stringing and it shows the half hitch as follows: According to this the half hitch just goes around the main once and then goes on...

I don't get it. I have strung my wife's Dunlop Abzorber 108 a couple of times before and didn't have an issue. But I am trying this time with Gut string. I measure out the amount the guides say for the mains, 20', but I end up short by a lot! I can't even get the string to the crank so I can...

I pulled both calfs during a drill 6 months ago. Right one is worse than the left. I have played very little since then. Though I have hit the ball with my kids in doubles a bit now and then trying not to move much. When I think it is good enough I try a little bit again but there is still a lot...

I have developed a lot of shoulder pain and can particularly feel it when trying to drive a high forehand. Serve hurts too, but can feel better after warmed up. Does this sound like rotator cuff? I have off and on through the years felt the pain in shoulder, like when the kids were younger...

Do I need to be concerned that when starting the stringing, on the first string the glide clamp will be pulling the string down, or should I try to keep it level while cranking the first string? Of course after the first string there is tension on the string bed so the clamps stay up after...

I picked up an Eagnas 940 a couple of months ago. I have never watched someone else string a machine so I am not sure what to expect. When I release the tension on the crank I can see the clamps move a bit. Is this normal? You can wiggle them in the post. Just want to make sure I don't have...

I think I may have misunderstood what you can do by one ahead stringing. I was thinking you could string one ahead on mains and crosses and tension the string just once so it is basically tensioning two lengths instead of one. Thought I saw that some where. So, now that I did it that way...

Experience with i.prestige, PK 5G, and Dunlop Abzorber Here are some observations on using the above rackets. I gut back into tennis a couple of years ago after many years off due to severe golpher elbow developed with wood rackets some 30 years ago in high school tennis. Possibly a bone...

I bought a slightly used racket about a year ago (PK 5G) and everyone loves the way the racket feels. I bought a new PK 5Ki but don't have the same feel. I think it may be the strings, though grip size is also different, #1 vs #3. Are there any hints out there as to how to tell the string...

How do you determine whether to start the loop at the head or throat from string patterns that don't identify it? for example, the Klippermate site http://www.klippermate.com/stringing/viewpattern.php?mfg=TDUN and http://www.tennis4all.com/info/racquets/stringing/dunlop.shtml...

I am looking for something that can get the results done rather quickly. Not going into business, but time is money for me too, as I could be billing for other work. From the Eagnas site, the bar glide clamps are listed as being faster than the swivel clamps, though, I understand there is the...
