    Advice on racquet / mods suggestion for Head Graphene Touch Prestige MP?

    Long time reader, infrequent poster here... Looking for your sage advice on racquet modification... I learned to play in the days of Edberg and Sampras, and that's my playing style. Unsurprisingly, my favorite stick awhile back had been Wilson PS 85. I find it a great hit when I'm "on." But at...

    Wind turbine blades, tennis racquets — non-recyclable?..

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-02-05/wind-turbine-blades-can-t-be-recycled-so-they-re-piling-up-in-landfills Wonder what mass of tennis racquets are filling the garbage heaps and lasting for millennia after Djoker & company are done destroying them... [emoji13]

    PS97 vs. Blade V7 vs. ?.. for S&V classical style

    Ok, help me out here, people... 4.5, OHBH, continental/eastern, classic S&V game here. 40s. I was reasonably content, but then I went ahead and tried to be even happy, and probably screwed myself: been trying out too many player style sticks lately, but am noticing some patterns. As my gold...

    Larger than L5 grips?..

    Currently use Yonex DG 97 330 with grip size 4 5/8, but find that I need the leather grip + two thick overgrips (e.g. Tourna super tacky or YY SuperGrap, with a built-up buttcap, too) to feel comfortable. This rounds out the bevels a bit too much and, frankly, I’d prefer even thicker. I’m...

    Curious about this racquet https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Wilson_Triad_Five_BLX_Racquet/descpageRCWILSON-W5BLX.html as an alternative to a ProKennex or Clash — alleged arm friendliness, nothing rattling around inside, port-like grommets in the center, and head partially decoupled from the...

    Pro Kennex Destiny Legend KHM

    I read somewhere that this line was the progenitor of Babolat Aero Pro Drive... Of the different Legend racquets PK made, this one is quite rare, from what I can tell. Lots of interesting features and plays very nicely. The handle is tapered skinny near the bottom for serving, widens toward the...

    Sawed 1 cm off the handle of Yonex Duel G 330

    Interesting construction... Hollow - would have been nice with some foam or gel. The metal shank for balance?..

    Babolat APD - pleasant surprise?..

    Long time listener, (nearly) first time caller here... Looking from some wisdom from the forum. 4.5 player with classic strokes, 1hbh, serve & volley, continental grip and mostly flat strokes. 40 years old, grew up playing in CA and liking Stefan Edberg. So, after 15 years away from tennis...
