    Tennis in the Philippines

    Yeah, the heat is gonna take some adjustment. Arizona, although it's hot, is truly a "dry heat" like they say. That humidity is such a big X factor. I remember I used to play at UP Diliman back in the early 2000's. They charged us around 500P for the courts. AND we had to defer our play...

    Tennis in the Philippines

    Dang, I'm scared to even ask about court fees. Living here in the States, I have a hard time paying to play tennis. Maybe I'll just leave the gear at home. :sad:

    Tennis in the Philippines

    Man, that blows! Guess that's to be expected being that it's still a sport that not all can afford over there. Thanks. Where to play over there, if at all?

    Tennis in the Philippines

    Tennis gear in the Philippines? Finally going back to the motherland this July after 11 years. Will be there for a full month. I was wondering if racquets there are priced lower or higher than the racquets here in the states? And what shops do folks purchase their tennis gear from? Any...

    Punta Cana, Dominican Republic this August

    I know it's a long shot, but I'm headed to Punta Cana in mid-August. The resort is called Majestic. If anyone is headed there during that time or knows anything about the tennis courts there or about the resort itself, let me know. Thanks!!!

    Yonex rdis 200 midplus stringing instructions

    Irvin, that is good information to know. I had no idea about that. Just goes to show you that what is common knowledge to one (or many) may be absolutely unchartered territory for another. Much thanks again, and I will use this info going forward, particularly on new racquets I've never...

    Yonex rdis 200 midplus stringing instructions

    Hey guys, thanks for your help and input. I guess my confusion was caused from the way the racquet was strung when I got it. TW had the mains tied off at 6T and the crosses tied off at 5H and 8T. If the guys at TW had their knots at different locations than your recommendations, am I to...

    Not sure if this should be in this section or the "strings" section, but what is the stringing pattern for the yonex rdis 200 midplus? I'm looking for the knot locations in particular. Thanks in advance, and my apologies if this has been covered before.

    Help w/mounting issues on the X-2

    Sure thing. The racquet was slipping at the top (head) mount. The racquet moved towards the throat, away from the tension head. It actually skipped over the spacer, and into the mounting bolt. This occurred towards the end of the first tension, even before I had a chance to clamp. Like I...

    Help w/mounting issues on the X-2

    Thanks for all the replies. Well, to make a long story short, I strung the racquet today with no problems. As to why it was slipping a few days ago, I have no idea why. I mounted it/have been mounting it just like those pics demonstrated. I guess I'll just tack this one up as "freak...

    Help w/mounting issues on the X-2

    Sorry it took a while for me to get back. For some reason, I never received my usual email alerts when there's a response. Anyways, based on what you all have said, that's exactly what I've been doing for all the years I've had the stringer. I'll use the thickest adapter I have that doesn't...

    Help w/mounting issues on the X-2

    Ok, here's the deal. I'm about to string my buddy's Wilson K six one tour on my X-2 stringer. Unfortunately, the beam width of this racquet lies somewhere between the widths of the 2 spacers. In other words, the large spacer is too thick to use to mount, and the small spacer is so thin that...

    Laughlin, NV tennis

    I know this is a longshot here, but does anybody know if there's a tennis scene in Laughlin, NV? I know it aint no Vegas, but I do end up there quite a few weekends a year. Is there a reason to bring my gear along next time I head out there, like this coming weekend?

    Boris Becker Pro DNX stringing pattern

    Does anybody have the stringing pattern for the Boris Becker Pro? This is the DNX version. I tried using the search function, but could only find the Delta Core Pro instructions. Wasn't sure if the pattern was the same. Thanks in advance.

    Transitioning to open stance

    Great post, Power. So, on those middle shots, after the split set, what should your first step be for the open stance? More specifically, should the right foot (for righty's) go forward (let's say 45 degreees) or more parallel to the baseline? This may seem nit-picky but I am also having this...

    Need Help w/starting knot for crosses

    Man,all I can say is that I'm finally done with that bad boy. Honestly the weaving really wasn't that bad, but that starting knot really threw me for a loop (no pun intended). Anyways, much thanks to Irv for guiding me through that one. I delayed this to the very end, but knew eventually it...
