    Blistering feet

    Forgot to mention that I also get calluses in the worst spots that cause irritation. Played on the weekend and taped my big and second toe. I accidentally broke half the nail off my big toe trying to use a foot air pump (long story). So taped it to just make sure the nail doesn't catch on my...

    Loosing faith in Prince EXO3 Tour 16x18

    Gave the Yonex Ai98 a crack and wow wow wow wow... I hardly needed to put effort into any of my shots. Sounded great off the strings, sooo ultra light, mind you it had no over grip on it - I like to have my over grip - will that change the balance of the racquet? All my groundies I found...

    Loosing faith in Prince EXO3 Tour 16x18

    I orignally had syn gut in it - fantastic! Lasted about 3-4 matches. The Cyclone 200m reel I've had for about a year and a half, I might be only half way through now? Not 100% sure will check later. I haven't broken too many strings since using it. Was talking to a friend about my problem...

    Agility Ladder exercises

    Perfect thanks guys. I do most of the ones in that video (a few that I keep forgetting about). Also haven't really done them backwards so will try that too. Is it worth combining this with interval training? or do it separately? Currently I mark out two cones about 5-10m from the ladder (so...

    Let's discuss net tactics. Approach and S&V

    I prefer to try finish points at the net as often as possible. I'm not a grinder, I can 'mimic' it till my legs give up. So my game is built around getting to the net at some stage, I tend to push my opponent behind the baseline, always try slice approach in I prefer to make my opponent...

    Loosing faith in Prince EXO3 Tour 16x18

    I've had a fair share of arm/shoulder related injuries. The last one plagues me slightly. I had a really weak rotator cuff that strained my tricep, so after heaps of strengthening it's better. But I find that my tricep every now and then will complain if I don't warm up correctly or play too...

    Loosing faith in Prince EXO3 Tour 16x18

    I tried a bunch of Prince racquets before picking this one. I've been using Volkl Cyclone 16 with it to get the durability and balance between power & spin. After about two years I spend more time battling the racquet and tinkering with the tension to find that sweet spot again. Has...

    Agility Ladder exercises

    Just wanted to know if anyone has been using an agility ladder for a little while and what your thoughts are and if they do improve your footwork/fitness? I've been using mine but not consistently, but getting back into it. Also wanted to know what sort of exercises you do and different...

    Trick shots, finally caught on camera

    Thanks! The first time I did the recordings, I turned it off because it was draining my battery and as soon as I did we started pulling off some amazing shots - always happens! Haha yeah, to his defense he's a grinder and never comes to the net! I've been practicing it for a little while...

    Trick shots, finally caught on camera

    Recorded this a while back, but posting it just now. http://youtu.be/10_gkaI9uts - hitting is gusty conditions at the very end my hitting partner hits a forehand around the back on my slice approach shot and then I follow up with a backhand follow flick http://youtu.be/TTbkXCviWOE - this...

    A few serves

    +1 to the above statement - better camera location. Next time when you're recording try multiple different locations and do like 5-10 serves each time. So from directly behind, on your left side, on your right side and maybe on the other side of the court facing your front. Then we can see if...
