Did you mean 18x20? Even if that were the case, it doesn't make sense that Wilson would make a whole new set of grommets if the older ones fit.

I currently have a K-Factor Blade 98 and two BLX Blade 98 (Gold/Black). I ordered grommets for the racquets, but according to TW, it's not coming in until JUNE. I was just thinking of getting the 2015 version. Does the 2015 grommet fit onto these racquet?

Looked at the pallet. It's a 4 1/2. Thanks though!

I currently have a Head Youtek racquet, but I cannot tell what the grip size is because the bottom of the buttcap is worn down. Any way to find out?

Watching the Safarova vs. Gavrilova match right now and my coach and I are trying to figure out who the commentators are. Any ideas?

Can the new Graphene Radical Pro cap grommets fit on the IG Radical Pros? It looked kind of interesting and got curious. I know the beam width is different, but that's all I got out of the forums.

Looks kinda like a Pure Strike to me.

I think it has more to do with advertising and the consumer audience. Not a lot of people are able to handle the "Tour" version. Since the standard version fits a bigger variety of players, it would make sense to emphasize its endorsement more.

This is THE correct answer. All other answers are wrong. JK.

Debating on if I should paint my rackets over with my own design. Just wanted to see a lot of different ideas before I go through with it. Pictures would be great!

I like it. People say I'm crazy and it's too old school, but it just works for me. Main reason I like it is because most of the time I don't have to deal with high balls because it's so easy to take it on the rise.

He got double bageled over the weekend at a junior tournament in Texas. All the opponent did was hit cross court forehands and DTL backhands. He hit the first 2 fine, but as it got progressively worse as he got deeper into the rallies. He just gave up on the topspin forehand and decided to...

I think a video might be needed. I'll try to get something up here this week.

I coached my brother from the very beginning and he has developed an lethal backhand side. His forehand, however, is a different story. He has no confidence in his forehand...like...AT ALL. He would rather run around the forehand to take a backhand than hit the forehand. He has solid...

In what way would you place the racquet when drying the primer/paint? Suspend it by the handle? Let it hang off a table? Set it on top of something?

It takes a lot of disipline within a child to be able to learn from your family members. Kids are used to seeing love and kindness from their parents while coaches give off an aura of authority. It also depends on the level of fun you put in. There's going to be no improvement if the child...

I saw somewhere on this thread that the IG Prestige Pro has a slightly smaller headsize than the YouTek version. Would this mean that the IG/YT grommets are not interchangable?

Haha very true, but the parents have already paid ahead of time so too late anyways. :)

You can do it both ways. I find that grabbing further up the handle gives me more stability and control. Grabbing towards the end gives me more racquet head speed. It really is a personal prefernce. I grab further up like Fish does.

I am going to start teaching at the tennis center I work at so I get experience to hopefully get a teaching certification. I will teach groups of kids ranging from 4-12 years of age. I may work with older, more experienced kids as well. I already have experience teaching the older kids to...

Have you tried watching what your legs do? I tend to spray balls (especially approach shots) if I don't bend my knees for the shot. You need a strong base in order to have a straight and lower trajectory. If you don't bend the knees, you will tend to have a slight backward momentum due to...

Usually when I get a racquet, I string it at mid to start myself off. By the next string job, I have already found my preferred tension on the racquet. I'm having a bit of trouble with my new 95's (red abd white). It's been 2 string jobs already and I still feel awkward using it. What are...

I completely understand that those balls aren't attackable. I just don't like the fact I have to wait around for it to drop down into my strike zone for me to actually stay in the point. I guess I just need to know how to stay in the rally on a ball like that without messing with my court...

Like Nadal short (barely past the service line). If I try to put it away, I only get passed because it's so close to the service line and I'm limited to what I can do with a ball over my shoulders. Now I know how Federer feels on his bh side...

I know how to deal with high balls. I usually take it on the rise. I've been having a lot more trouble with shorter/higher balls lately. They land to short for me to take on the rise. If I stand close to the baseline, it comes up over my shoulders. If I back up, I give up too much of my court...

Can't get anymore better advice than an actual OHBH user.

I strung it 3 different times. Same results... The 18x20 was far better though.

The new Blade 98 with 16x19 pattern. ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL. It did the exact opposite of whatever I wanted it to do...

On the stringing machine at my workplace, there is a button on the monitor called "KNOT." Basically, when you press this button for the last mains/crosses situated near a knot, it pulls about 5lbs. extra. This is probably your safest and cheapest bet.

So you actually have an account? HAHA. From what you said, you made it sound easy...
