    Getting your kids interested

    At what age do you think a child can start taking actual instruction? I took my 2 year old son to the court once. Have him a racquet and the large yellow balls to play around with but didn't try to tell him anything. Just let him run... Seat and kick the balls.... When can you take it to the...

    The (insert old racquet that feels nostalgic) will arguably go down as the best modern racquet of all time...here's why

    It perfected upon what the (insert older version of previously mentioned racquet) before it started, providing tons of (insert subjective preference 1) and (insert subjective preference 2) potential, making it easy to use for both recreational and advanced players alike. The orignal version was...

    Sizing down a grip

    Anyone have experience sizing down a grip? I'm thinking that L4 (4 1/2) may be a bit too big for my hand. I'd like to try to go a bit smaller, but not sure what approach to take. Anyone have any experience? I could take the grip off and layer overgrips until it felt comfortable... I want to...

    Effect of balance point on SW

    I have two racquets... Both have a balance point of 33.45 cm. One weighs 330g and one weighs 340g. How similar could I expect the SW to be if I just added 10g at the balance point to the lighter racquet? Same exact frame, they just came with 10g difference after purchase.

    Time to break up

    It's been quite a run girl... You were so HOT in 2004... You were everywhere. You were solid. Rock solid actually... You carried your weight so well even though you were heavier than many. I know we went on a hiatus for about 5 years... But by the time 2011 came along, I missed you. Your...

    How do you find out the facility number for a location? I can find facilities in the search, but I cannot seem to find the number in which to enter to assign a facility to a team. Any assistance is appreciated.

    ID/USTA card checks?

    Is there any USTA competition where they check USTA cards and/or IDs? Seems like it would be pretty easy to have a player play under a different name...

    Play with a real 5.5

    Well... I got to play with a real 5.5 yesterday. He played line 2 at Lamar... Just finished his eligibility. All conference singles. 6 foot 3. Russian. Unbelievable. I texted him that I needed a good @$$ kicking in preparation for upcoming sectionals (4.5). We started the match and he was...

    Do you remember.....?

    Do you remember the first time you found out that players are not playing with their endorsed frames? What led you to that? What was your reaction? How has that changed your view of the players and racquet makers? I remember mine vividly... It came to be from a harmless google search in high...

    How long to prepare?

    If one's physical conditioning is relatively maintained(29 yo male)... how long do you think it would take (number of sessions... and/or hours on court) until said person is in proper form to handle 1 singles match per day over a 3 day period? This is after a 2 month layoff from tennis. The...

    Football season

    After a crushing defeat 10-7 in the third as the deciding line in the semis of sectionals... I feel it's time to turn my attention to football season. More importantly, fantasy football season. Hopefully I can keep the weight gain under 10 pounds and finally take home the crown this year in...

    I knew they felt different...

    We've all been there. String breaks...pick up the other racquet...same racquet...same strings...same tension...and it feels almost like a different brand! Serves go in the net...late on forehands...the wheels fall off for s few games. I'm sick of it. I bought a balance beam and an...

    Bulking and cutting.

    I think I know the answer to my question,but I'm posting it anyway. About a year and a half ago, I had a lifestyle/mentality change toward my eating habits and activity level. It has resulted in some weight loss obviously. I've brought my body fat under 14% (according to my scale) and have...

    Good scale?

    Recommendations for a good scale to use for racquet customization/ matching? Something that will use grams. I have a scale that does ounces and kilograms which doesn't do much good when trying to match frames.

    Platform vs pinpoint serving

    I have noticed that it feels like I am generating more pace when I am first warming up my serve than when it comes time to take a full motion. I decided to film myself hitting some platform serves (which is close to what I do when loosening up) and comparing that to my usual motion. I can't...

    Anyone on here play tennis with a glove? For some reason my hand is just getting destroyed almost every time I play. Just wanting to see if anyone uses a glove and how it affects your play. Thank you!

    Fast serve contest

    There's going to be a fast serve contest as part of a Grand Opening of a tennis facility in town in a couple weeks. Would you change your strings to maximize your speed? I'm making some friendly wagers with friends.... I don't want to disappoint myself!

    I'm a 4.5 player. Wilson Ncode six one 95 16x18.... I've played with pro hurricane for over 10 years and recently decided to try out some new strings: solinco tour bite and hyper g in 16L. After playing with both I still feel like I get more power and spin out of the pro hurricane! Should I...
