https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Tourna_Stringmeter/descpageUNIQUE-STRMETER.html I have a racket strung at 40lbs reference tension using VCT 16. String meter read 44 after stringing when dialed into 16ga I just moved the dial to 15ga so that it would read 40 lbs. Basically, just adjust the...

The real key to success in tennis isn't about how to hit more spin on your FH or making the correct Wardlaw directional. It is instead about how to remain mentally strong, focused and playing your A-game, even when it feels like you will never win another point again. @FiReFTW

This is hard to explain in writing, but if it helps even one other player, it's worth it. At one of my lessons with a UTR11 player, he noticed I would bail out when digging for a low ball BH, and just slice it back. Of course, reducing errors and getting one more ball into play is smart tennis...

If a #1 ranked WTA 3-time slam winner does not hit overheads, does that mean lesser players would be better served by just hitting a FH ?

As good as it gets Goes from 40-luv to break points What a moment in tennis history for the UK

Played a guy that slices most every BH. If I pounded a rally ball to his BH, the weak slice would land short, barely clearing the net. This would have me scrambling and digging the ball. It tried to adjust and follow up any shot to his BH, but the ball was still awkward to deal with. Many...

Most people who hit a flat BH keep their wrist firm and straight, which is the natural default. I was looking at video of some 3.5 pals of mine, and am seeing this is very common. No lag and snap To get heavy spin on a BH, you need to really drop the head of the racket. Doing this easily...

Peaked by 27 5 slams is no joke, but Never got out from Williams' shadow?

Mine is acting up and I'm not sure if it's from tennis or other intense fitness

This was very enjoyable to watch.. Shot tolerance is there. That 2nd point rally is great. High net clearance for rally balls. They appear to be UTR13

I like the handle technique

I do not have an injury, but am doing some research. Heard people take this for back issues. Seems like a bad idea that masks pain?

This is an interesting contrast in speed

@Curious thread about smart players Played a match yesterday There was a point where I had a short ball approach shot The temptation is to crush a winner with massive spin. (3.5) However, since you have removed 25% of the court, it is easy to go long. It is also easy to go wide, since the 3.5...

Shot tolerance is the name of the game for advanced tennis. This month I am focusing on deep rally balls with massive net clearance. I love seeing good examples of this from high level players

Please share any thoughts you have about Cyclone Tour I have switched to this string at low tension for arm safety. Very happy. Great value at $9. 160 stiffness range is not bad. How did you arrive at this string? What feedback or experiences do you have? Do you use 16, 17, or 18? Why...

Looking to hear from those who are members of a club. The kind that costs about $800 to $2000 for the summer. Some have initiation fees, as well. What has been your experience? What are some pros and cons that may not be obvious?

For me, no combination of NatGut lasts past 5-10 hours (full bed Gut, Hybrid, etc) So, the poly 10 hour limit is a moot point. I'm restringing at 10 hours no matter what I use. What is even softer is Tour Bite 20. The softest poly on the market. For me, the ultimate Poly for arm safety may be...

Need cheaper lessons? Create a personal development game plan and pay a tennis buddy who is looking for side income One of my 3.5 hitting partners is a tennis junkie. He has started giving lessons to 2.5 & 3.0 players I have decided to support him and take lessons with him (in addition to...

I enjoyed the point at 1:28 Loved how finished this point. It's not the standard obvious have him wildly on the run, but the result was the same. He anticipated a weak BH slice reply He was in perfect position for that volley

Took 7 hours for my full bed natGut to notch and break. This was a new record. Normally, it snaps in under 5 hours. It also lost all the tension, and I had to readjust strings between every point. That is when you know your strings are spent. This is why pros switch rackets within one hour...

Faced a 4.0 guy today in his 50s. Waiter's tray serve with big pace. It was impossible for me to return. The ball would skid and be knee height. I just could not dig them out. Just too fast and low. I hit 10 in a row into the net. If the serve was in, it was as good as an ace. It was a low...

When Andy Murray does this, he is a genius. When the local 3.5 or 4.0 junkballer does this, he is ridiculed as a fake tennis player, and not invited back to play. I deeply respect this combo and have tried to adopt it into my own game. For me, it's a win/win. If I make the dropshot, I've...

Went to serve a hopper of 2nd serves. I was inspired by how clean this younger guy's serve motion is. Particularly, how his feet are close together. Its like a pinpoint platform. With platform, my weight is on my front foot. With this new stance, I Feel my weight is more evenly distributed...
