Hello, does anybody have experience with these Babolat balls on clay? How do they play and how long do they last? I am getting 4 weeks out of my ProPenns and was thinking of switching to the Babolats as the cost for 8 cases ends up being significantly lower. Thanks :):)

Hey all, just reporting from the battlefront, I played my first USTA match earlier tonight and was lucky enough to win in the super tie breaker. :D :D So naturally I am here now to brag about it. :-D:-D:-D Won first set 6-4, lost second 4-6, won super tiebreaker 10-5. Overall experience was good...

Hey all, I'll be in AA for 5 days next week, from Tuesday to Sunday. Any 4-4.5 players that would like to hit? I would also be OK with driving around a bit for a good challenge. Hit me up!

Hello all, I sat down and calculated (through the Mint app) how much I've spent on stringing services in the last year and I had a mini stroke so the time has come for me to get my own stringer. I've been reading about it for a little while and know the basic differences between machines (drop...

Hey all, I am in the market to buy a PS4 just to game some. I haven't gamed for ever and have kinda missed it. Has any of you tried both the regular/slim version and can compare it to the Pro? Supposedly the Pro can play 4K content and I have a 4K TV but can it really play real 4K content? The...

Hey all, I'll be travelling to Miami this Thursday, staying till Sunday. I'll be located in Miami Beach and might be able to play some tennis. Anyone interested? I consider myself a 4.5 and I would love to hit with anybody over 4.0. I've been battling an injury so looking for relaxed hitting as...

Hello all, I promise this is not another foot fault thread (or it might be exactly that :-D). I was recently bumped up a level at the indoor winter league at my indoor club. It is unofficially named "4.5 and up" as most players either play or have played USTA 4.5 or 5.0, are past college...

Hey all, The Penn (1,2,3,4,5,whatever) balls typically feel amazing and I really enjoyed hitting with them. I mostly used to get them from Costco as you can't beat their price. Now, there is something wrong with the last batch I got. I've opened several cans and the bounce of the ball is so...

Hello all, So long story short, I've been playing tennis for 2 years (I probably tried about 40(??) different rackets ) using only poly with 0 pain until a couple months back where I felt a very minor and mild pain/stiffness in the TE area. Some very minor burning as well. Then I started...

Hi, has anybody experienced pain with the Head Hawk white? I string it very low (45#) on my G360 Speed MP and get some minor elbow pain. This is very odd as I have been playing forever with Alu power regular and Rough strung higher without any pain at all. Anybody else has experienced the same...

Hello all, I recently played with a friend's Speed Graphene 360 MP and was very impressed. Very nice comfort, spin, control and power. I pulled the trigger on 1 but I was wondering, how do the other speed generations compare with the G360? Have you guys tried multiple gens and what is your...

Hey guys, I typically string my Blade 98 with Alu power rough. I recently strung my IGRP with the same string at 50# and I hate it. Super muted, boardy and low powered. What would you suggest to make the racket a bit more lively? I have a long powerful swing style that you can see in the vid below.

Hey all, I've been a member here for quite a bit and seeing everybody posting videos got me jealous. See below vid from a couple days ago. Both me and my opponents hadn't really hit for a couple weeks and were a bit rusty. Started cold but kinda warmed up later. First 30-40 seconds are kinda...

Hello all, any good ping pong players in the house that play tennis as well? I play 4.0-4.5 tennis and good ping pong. I have taken many years of tennis instruction but 0 hours of ping pong instruction. However, by applying the mechanics, logic and strategy of tennis to ping pong, I have become...

Ok, I played yesterday at this league, most of the players are around 4.0 NTRP. The matches including warm-up are 1.5 hour long meaning the winner of 1st set usually wins the match as the 2nd set is rarely being finished, unless the match is too one-sided. So, I win the 1st set 6-4. The...

Hello players, ok odd question here. :D:D I grew up playing 2hbh since everybody was doing that back then. About a year ago, I switched to 1 handed in order to reduce sciatic nerve pain. The 1handed feels much better and more natural to me and I am getting better at it. :) What I struggle the...

Hey guys, I recently got a Microgel Radical Pro and 2 IGPMPs. All 3 need new strings so I am looking for suggestions. I typically string my Blade 98 with Alu Power Rough @50-52 pounds. I know the Heads are low powdered so I've been reading I need to go low. But how low? 40?42? I also want to...

Hey guys, I have lately been using the 2015 Blade 98 18x20 that I absolutely love. However, If I hit with it for 2 hours, 3 days in a row, my forearm muscles get tired and I can't control it the way I would like. So I am looking for a slightly lighter, easier swinging, 18x20 racquet from Head...

Hey guys, Big match coming on Thursday for my league. I am playing against the No1 guy again. First time he destroyed me, second time he beat me but I was super close, I think on Thursday it's my time. Guy is probably a solid 4-4.2, 6ft3, very good runner/retriever and will return everything...

Hey guys, after a long time away from tennis the racquet that I chose to use for my comeback was the Yonex DR98. I liked the racquet, it was easy to use, easy spin, great serve but didn't have great precision or stability with it. Demo'd 98 lite with added weight, liked it a lot, was considering...

**This is not a "I hate pushers" topic** :):D I recently started playing at this league at a local club. 2nd highest level out of 5 and probably a 4.0 league meaning a variety of players of different skills and athleticism with a good command of the game. It is the first league I play since I...

Hey guys, need help here! :):) So I recently started playing at this league at a local club, played sets again after probably 10-12 years. They introduced me to the league by having me play the top 3 right away and naturally I lost to all of them. But I put up a good fight, didn't give them...

Hey guys, I grew up playing tennis using a Hyper Hammer 6.6 Rollers. I know people hate on these racquets but I believe the 6.6 was a great one. So my swing, technique, timing is based on several years of what feels right with that racquet(and a ton of lead tape to find the proper balance). So...

Hey guys, first post here so please don't attack me right away :):) I played competitive tennis from 13-17, started at 8. Competed at a couple regional and high school tournaments, actually won one as well as a couple of club tournaments. Not crazy level though, we are talking 17 years of age...
