    Can Graphene Radical LTD MP be capped with new XT Prestige caps?

    But the microgel and youtek radicals were 95 sq in. then? I have seen some images circulating on the net where these rackets have been successfully capped.

    Can Graphene Radical LTD MP be capped with new XT Prestige caps?

    Hey all, the title is pretty much my question. My local tennis shop no longer carries the orange pro player caps. Since the headsize and stringing pattern for the graphene radical ltd mp is the same as the graphenext prestige pro/s rackets, can I just use the grommets for these rackets? Also...

    Should I buy a used stringing machine?

    Hi all, wondering if I should purchase a used Gamma Progression ST II stringing machine. I guess my more general question is if the age of the stringing machine matters, as the owner tells me he has had it for many years now. What should I check (if anything) to ensure that the stringing machine...

    Can Someone Please Define for me Nike's 6 Month Outsole Warranty???

    Hi guys, I bought a pair of Nike Lunar Ballistecs about 3 months back. I am an aggressive player and habitual toe dragger (especially on serves). As such, it is no surprise that I have almost exposed a hole in the toe guard of both shoes. I was wondering if this qualified me to return my shoes...

    Help With String Choice for Head Prestige S

    Hi TW gurus, I am currently playing with a head ig prestige s, coming from a Babolat pure control tour. I really love the head prestige's plush and precise feel, but the one thing that is lacking is my serve. With the Babolat, I was serving bombs and second serves kicked high and in. However...

    Beating Dogs on the Tennis Court

    I mean that is definitely a part I need to improve on. The problem is I feel like I am just exerting way too much energy while they don't even seem tired by the fifth game. I honestly just don't know what to do with these guys... haha they seem like mini djokovics and Ferrers in that they pretty...

    Beating Dogs on the Tennis Court

    Hey guys, I am here inquiring about advice to combat some pretty tough opponents. So I have been playing these few weeks against some pretty competitive 14 yr olds. Their play style seems to be between a pusher and an all around player. I mean that they are uber consistent and hardly ever miss...

    Head Tennis=Best Racquet Paintjob Quality??!!

    Hey guys, I am wondering what racquet company produces racquets with the best paintjob in terms of quality. This means that a minor bump or two on a hard court may produce several nicks and scratches but litttle to no paint chip. I had a Babolat Pure Drive and the paint quality on that was...

    Back Problems from Twist/ Kick serves?

    Thanks for the feedback LeeD! So is there a tennis player whose serve is as you described? I feel my service motion is like Nadal's right now....

    Back Problems from Twist/ Kick serves?

    well yes. However, there is then a dramatic drop in terms of bounce after the ball hits. I obviously don't want to sacrifice my back, but I don't want opponents to just attack my second serve.

    Back Problems from Twist/ Kick serves?

    A little background about myself: aggressive baseliner with a big forehand. On kick serves, I arch my back to quite an extreme angle and use the momentum from swinging my body and legs into the shot to produce the spin. During high school tennis practice yesterday, I resorted to only kick...

    Djoker vs Murray....the most boring match up in tennis.

    I doubt it. Though many call Murray a counterpuncher, his forehand is getting quite aggressive! And Djokovic can always be relied upon to come up with some crazy hot shots as well! It will be a great final.
