@Injured Again Hey my man, just started back following your journey. Great work, it looks like things have gone really well for you! If you don't recall, I broke a finger on my tennis hand in early January, had cast and all that good stuff. I finally got the go ahead for light hitting. I...
@Injured Again Haha, i broke my finger walking my dogs! There was a dog owner walking his dog unleashed and my 2 Great Pyrenees decided they wanted to see the dog and the leash got wrapped around my finger.
I actually just started playing USTA again this summer. I'm 2-1 at 4.0 40 and over...
I'm a flatter hitter that started playing tennis in the late 70's, I've been using Ghost Wire as a cross for many years. I used Klip Natural Gut until I had a hard time finding it. I now use Luxilon NG in my mains. I like the combo a lot.
@Injured Again Sorry for my delay in following up on your recovery. Ive been traveling and broke a finger in my tennis hand last week and trying to type is a pain. I'm 58 but had been a 4.5 for a long time. Due to my knee issues over the last 5 years, I stopped playing 4.5 because I got...
@Injured Again I think you sound like you are on a good track. After a few days, maybe a week, I started taking less pain meds. i mostly took them at night and before PT.
My upper leg was swollen and black and blue. I don’t recall how long it took for that to subside.
I too worried about...
@Injured Again I walked bowlegged as well but I think its straightened itself a bit. I'm still about 2 inches shorter because of knee issues I've had over the last 5 years. I also lost a lot of muscle mass on my left side since I've been favoring my right side. I'm now hitting the ball better...
@Injured Again I think you will do great and have a very positive outlook. I'm on the east coast and do a lot of Appalachian Trail hiking. A good buddy and I are talking about a trip to the Grand Canyon to hike in the near term. Best of luck to you. I look forward to following your...
@Injured Again I did do weight training. I was in the gym 3 days a week with a personal trainer helping me build strength and prepare for the surgery. I was back in the gym about a month after my TKR. I did leg lifting when I was ready which wasn't long after surgery and continued working out...
@Injured Again I waited because from 2018 to 2022 I had numerous knee issues and surgeries leading up to my TKR. I still loved the game, but the game took a toll on my body after playing. Once I got my TKR, I said, I won't play competitively again. I fell in love with hiking and was hiking 4...
Hey Injured Again: I had a TKR in Feb of 2022. I had stopped playing tennis for nearly a year before my TKR because my recovery after playing tennis took too long. I did pick up hiking in the place of tennis and logged a lot of hiking miles. I hiked the day before surgery and was in very...
@topspn @haqq777 you guys and your frame switching, ;). You two got me all giddy on the TC100, 63RA's. I've taken some back roads, briefly, but nothing has taken me away from these frames. Happy New Year Guys!
I hope that's the case. I don't like how tons of people get bumped only to appeal back down. They crushed the 40+ league I play in with bump ups to 5.0
