I’ve been using 1/4 grip size for at least 5 years, with the really thin Tourna pro thin grip that probably takes it down another half size. I know it’s too small for my hands (I’m 6 foot tall and have medium sized hands) but I’ve gotten used to it, and seem to have become dependent on it for...

I'm guessing this is a unique problem, but does anyone else have an issue with tongues sliding outward on your shoes? I've been waring K-Swiss Hypercourts for about a year and a half and otherwise really like them, but it is getting worse. Like on the right foot, the tongue has slid to the right...

Ok, hear me out... I’ve been using Tour Bite in a rotation of 2015 Head Extremes for a year or so and the Extremes themselves almost exclusively for several years. It’s a great combo and I adjust for temperature, indoor/outdoor etc. It’s very consistent and predictable. Then I bought several...

Any advice on a shoe that has some more space from top to bottom? I wear an arch support and an ankle brace that goes under my foot. That takes up a lot of space on the bottom, leaving my feet really jammed in. I love Asics but looking for a “bigger” shoe that’s still in my size. Also maybe...

I usually play with 4G, but we have a pretty hearty group of players in the Philly area who will play well into 30 degree temps, and I notice that all my string beds feel like a plank of wood when the temperature gets that low. It's a drastic change and in addition to the lower power, the sweet...

I haven't been able to play much in recent months and registered for a 4.0 tournament starting 1/16, thinking it will force me to get my game back together. Hit a little bit yesterday and my legs felt sluggish. Any tips/links on how to get back in tennis shape quickly? I'm 39 years old, quick...

Trying to change butt cap on a Prince Phantom and Prince has five (!) staples on it, four of which won’t budge. One, isn’t that a little excessive? Two, how the hell do I get them out? Tried everything.

I know this sounds crazy. Probably is. But last night I was playing a match and noticing the stringbed on my Head Graphene EX Extreme Pro was feeling great, that perfect blend of comfort and response, and I was playing well. Won the first set 6-2. At some point, I realize the dampener is not in...

I've been wearing Asics for years and love them, but I've been having some ankle problems and looking for a shoe that's not quite as low cut. Help me out TT, I've almost burned a whole in these things! ... Thanks

I’m looking to add leather grip to Prince Phantom 100 without making the grip any larger (or smaller). Suggestions? I know there are charts with the thickness of different leather grips, but I’m still not sure which to use.

I got a great deal on the Pure Drive Lite, so I bought it. Doesn't look like it's widely used here, but I wanted to take a shot at a lighter racquet after struggling recently with my Head Graphene XT Extreme Pro. Anyone playing with the new or old PD Lite and have any tips on strings and...

I have medium sized hands and switched awhile back from 3/8 to 1/4 grip. Seems like I could really whip the racquet better. But lately I feel like I’m struggling to find the right size. Been messing with ultrathin grips, single or double overgrip, wrapping them tight vs loose etc. This weekend...

Rolled my right ankle badly on Monday (heard a crack but X-ray shows no fracture ) and bought two ASO ankle braces. Wondering if I should wear it just on the injured ankle, which I rolled several years ago also, or both ankles? The other one I’ve never had a problem with. I’ve seen players...

I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere, haven't found a clear answer: I'm trying to save money in the long run by doing my own stringing. But it would be *very* long run if I forked out a ton of cash for an expensive machine. Anyone have experience with the cheap machines around $300? Do...

Picked up my old (original version) Wilson Burn 100 today and played well. Kinda remembered why I used to love it. It hits such a heavy ball, but just had a few too many balls flying on me. It's so overpowered. I'm thinking of getting the old 95 (on sale!) or the new 100 or 95 CV. Trying to get...

Lost an infuriating match to a pusher in 85+ temps when all my balls seemed to be flying long in three sticks strung with fresh poly 52-55 pounds. When I got home I started looking for a very low-powered 18x20 control racquet for these types of situations. Likely up around 95 degrees. I ended...
