Seems like Sinner has changed his serve. Its no longer pinpoint. He is young of course and can manage that, but that seems to be the reason why he is struggling.

I don't understand how you can get more spin with a smaller grip. Maybe on the buggy whip forehands. But for most normal forehand strokes, I think the normal grip should give better control and power too.

I have been using the PTT100P since the last 1 year or so. Its perfect for my game - headlight yet enough power on serve and slices. Great control on volleys too. One observation I had - and maybe its more to do with my bad technique than the racquet: It has a very flat launch angle. This means...

I have used Tretorn Micro X for quite some time. They are hard and heavy, although they do certainly retain their bounce for much, much longer. Wilson Triniti 3 though are my current favorites. They accentuate any spin put on the ball since they have a larger core. This means topspin bounces...

Thats true. It is headlight and I love hitting with it thanks to that. I have tried to make the Extreme Pro a bit headlight by adding mass at the grip, but it still isnt very head light.

Noob question related to arm friendliness. I do get pain at my elbow - the golfer's elbow kind of pain. Its never serious and I am a weekend warrior, so it usually is better by the time I am ready to hit it in the next week. I usually play with a modded Youtek Extreme Pro 2.0 (Around 350+ gms...

Welcome back to the game. I had taken a break of 20 years - used to play as a 12 year old and then picked up the racket again at 32. Relearned nearly everything. Was more difficult as I didn't play for too long as a kid. Hope you keep updating your progress here. Will be good to know how you...

I am a cricket player turned tennis player. I am barely touching 3.5 and have been playing since the last 3-4 years now. I have a good serve which meant that most returns to my serve used to be sitters. And just like you I used to fail putting away those short, high balls. I have improved on...

I have a decent first serve which goes in like 60% of the time. Whereas in my second serve I am at Stage 1 right now where I can usually place my topspin(there aint no kick there yet) serve to where I want to. What I do these days in casual matches is that I only do a topspin serve and no...

I currently use the Extreme Pro 2.0. But I have been developing a golfer's elbow. If I need to shift on to a racquet which is slightly more head-light, what should my choice be?

Thanks phankar!!! I did use the same racquet last season with the stock strings and it didn't hurt my arm back then. This time around the elbow pain has been pretty severe. I would shift to Yonex PTP 1.20. However, could you also suggest some multifilament/artificial gut strings which are...

Head Youtek Extreme Pro 2.0

I am looking to string my Extreme Pro 2.0 with new strings - preferably something that is softer for my arm. I currently am using a Polyfiber Black Venom 16L 1.25 string with tension at 60. After using this string, it seems that I am having problems with Golfer's Elbow. I am a 3.0-3.5 player...
