    Open/Closed stance

    Hi guys, just recently, I have switched my hitting style from open to a closed stance. My personal coach says it is a more consistent style and is easier at creating depth. Can any of you give me and differences and similarities or maybe pros and cons on both styles?

    nCode 90 switching rackets maybe?

    I might do that and try out a different string, I've been using the Alu Power roughs for a good year now, so maybe another poly would work out. You wouldnt happen to know what kinds would work out best would ya?

    nCode 90 switching rackets maybe?

    thanks for the advice, however i did not say anything about needing power (forgive me if i did) I actually have killer forehand and backhand even without hitting the dead center sweetspot.

    nCode 90 switching rackets maybe?

    thanks for all the feedback guys. another thing i noticed which i forgot to note was that the n90 was actually causing some pain in my elbow and shoulder, could it be that i have tennis elbow, or play to much? I am only 16

    nCode 90 switching rackets maybe?

    I am currently using a nCode 90 and i love it to death, but i does have one downside its head size. I have pretty clean and pretty strokes but I am not Roger Federer obviously and cant get the center of the racket consistently. I have found this to be the only problem I have; I'll be in a pretty...

    Highschool Player: Can't beat the same person.

    I think my shoulder was just sore from doing about a thousand serving drills before my challenge match. Today I was cranking them again after a few days rest and I was pretty much good shape no aches or anything. Oh and Fuzz I am taking lessons with a Pro coach, its just that i've been held...

    Highschool Player: Can't beat the same person.

    I believe he uses a combination of SW,western and a continental grip depending on what hes doing. I dont think he can differentiate which one to use in the right situation but is aware of what they are used for except the continental grip. I high doubt he even knows there are names for the grips...

    Highschool Player: Can't beat the same person.

    Thank you all for all the advice, another thing I guess could be a flaw for me maybe would be my footwork/mentality. I am pretty consistent with my split steps and moving to the ball but when I am not doing so hot I tend to get sloppy on my split stepping and begin to start thinking about it...

    Shaky Doubles Partner

    During our finals match I decided to stand back at the baseline after realizing mid-way thru the 1st set that the net play wasn't working. But like I said they played good keep away and picked on my partner. But on any given hit to me i just made a good lob over the net man and made them...

    Shaky Doubles Partner

    We did try I- form a few times in previous matches before and it didn't go to well, he has by far the weakest serve ive seen so basically the returner just camps right in no man's and comes in and drills either me or my partner. I told him to take his serve up a notch and hes all "ok" and just...

    Non-dominant elbow pain?

    I am a right handed player with a One Handed backhand and I have been experiencing some aching pains in my left elbow. Now I am asking myself how in the world is my left elbow in pain?, all I use it for is tossing for the serve and tracking the ball as it approaches my forehand. Any ideas why I...

    Wilson N-tour 90 grommets..red?

    it is the n6.1 90 I was just wondering because i just tried it out tonight, and I loved it, and am probably going to switch to it. I noticed that the bumper guard and grommets were red, it made me think about why they were red so I just came here and asked haha

    Overtwisting Body on serve?!

    thnx for the advice and such.. I think my over rotation to that guy was from his point of view and opinion, I mean I respect his opinon and his advice but i felt like my serve was pretty much in top form that day. I had another coach analyze my serve and he said it was ok to have a little...

    Overtwisting Body on serve?!

    Well you see yesterday i was practicing some 1st serve/2nd serve stuff and like i was doin fine during warm ups and throughout the light serving. Then i started to bring it up a notch and I was still doing pretty well like 75- 80% chance of my first serve going in, but then this one coach was...

    Wilson nBlade

    Eh.. ya i pretty much take back all the good things i have said about the nblade. I demoed it for about a week and its a piece of trash for my game style. The only good thing i could do with it was slice better the Ncode 6.1 95 imo is better.

    Wilson NBlade

    I dunno maybe its just me but I once again tried the racquet today and i just absolutely could not hit a flat serve for my life(which is my normal serve style). I had to ***** use my kick serve which I hardly use. My style is to break them open with a big serve and volley. With the nBlade it was...

    Wilson NBlade

    I played with the nblade one whole match and I really loved it. I was gettin so much more head speed on my serves and the slices were just awesome. Volleys were pretty decent nice and deep. It cut through the air really well. Right now I use a Slazenger Pro X1 and I'm probably going to switch...

    Wilson nBlade

    definetly after playing with the X1 for about a year and a half I've gotten acquainted with having to deal with generating massive amounts of head speed to put weight on my groundstrokes, so obviously being more used to a more powerful swing the balls were really heavy liek to the point were the...
