    What's so difficult about putting on a new headguard during stringing?

    The trick is to use a hair drier... warm up all the plastic pieces and they become so much more pliable. Hope this helps

    Slumming it with non-tennis attire

    I don't mind cotton or athletic shirts, but I can't stand playing in anything that aren't athletic material shorts... just feels so weird. I always, always, always wear tennis shoes though, otherwise I'm usually left with a mutilated pair of regular shoes... :)

    post your shoes before the shoe warranty claim

    So my warranty was approved and my $130 voucher was issued... I noticed on the receipt of my new pair that the voucher went in as a $130 gift card, so I assume that Nike has the purchase in the system in the same manner as a regular gift card purchase. Will the new pair of shoes I buy have the...

    post your shoes before the shoe warranty claim

    Okay, thanks. Just wanted to make sure because on the card it does say that that "exposure of other colors of rubber or the midsole does not qualify for the warranty" but I have seen a bunch of pictures where midsole warranty did get the voucher...

    mains much lower tension than crosses?

    I've done this but at 10 pound lower tensions. I think it does warp the frame slightly but I didn't notice a huge difference in the way it played versus my usual 35/40 so I preferred to keep it at a tension which didn't have such weird stresses on the frame.

    post your shoes before the shoe warranty claim

    What do you think? Warranty expires 11/18 so I need to decide how much I need to wear these day-to-day.

    Rough

    So the difference between BHB and BHBR actually is the shape of the string?

    Rough

    Hi, How do string companies go along making their strings "rough"? I mean like alu power vs alu power rough, BHB vs BHBR, and things like that. I assume that the companies aren't just twisting the strings (think zo twist) or changing their shape (think blue gear to blue gear ultra), so...

    String With Most Spin

    Try blue gear, but don't string it in a full bed, put something in the crosses. I use TNT, but that's because I have some leftover of that, pretty much anything not poly goes.

    Official TW Book Playtest 2010

    I actually finished it a while ago, lent it to my coach to read, and totally forgot about writing a review :???:. THE GOOD: Not too much material. Whenever I read these so called "advice" books, it always seems like the author stuffs you with info (a la Dummies series.) While it could at...

    Serve help?

    I have one from a top angle somewhere on my computer where you can see the court like you can during matches on TV, when I find it I will edit my original post. It is true that it looks like I'm serving ~80 -.-

    Serve help?

    Hi, I just wanted a bit of feedback on my serving form. From what I've noticed, I toss the ball a bit behind me (ie. over my head) and I don't get as much knee bend as the pros do behind my serve. Still, it clocks in at ~115 mph. Is there anything else that I can improve on so I can keep...

    Official TW Book Playtest 2010

    Just got mine, but I'm in NE, so not surprising I got it a bit later. Packaging was impressive, came all beat up but the book was perfect. Will comment on the actual material when I read it :D

    real long rally

    How do you know to count, you knew it was going to be that long once it started? Nahhh, I believe you. Well done, I would have tried to hit the ball 200mph after maybe 100 :P

    Backhand Velocity

    Hi, I'm looking for some tips on how to get more speed on my backhand. I normally don't have a problem with speed (I've been clocked at 115mph for a serve and many people have told me I hit 80-85mph on forehands). I hit a 2HBH, but even with the two hands, I don't feel like the ball even goes...

    Help needed with my strokes (video included)

    Try extending your right arm more when hitting your forehand, right now you aren't using all the leverage you can get into it. Look at 0:03 here: http:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFWsEaMqNAs&feature=related Federer's arm is almost completely extended out, and it acts as a longer lever, thus...

    Second Serve Issues..

    Try to draw the top half of a C on the ball, with the contact at the top of the C. Swing as fast as you can, and bend your knees and arch your back. If you can, try to bend your racket face more towards the sideline, that way you can kick to their backhand :)

    What's Wrong With My Serve? (Vid)

    I actually don't see a huge problem with where your tossing arm is. Your toss itself, however, seems a bit behind you. Try tossing further to the right and more towards your front foot. If you're trying to serve wide from the ad side, then you can toss slightly more to the left over your...

    If we get the book, will we be allowed to show it to other people/recommend it? From what I understand, I don't think the book is released yet.

    balls for wooden court?

    Will a racketball actually work? A tennis ball has grooves, while a racketball has significantly less, so won't that affect how much the ball dips / slides while it's in the air? 3000rpms on a tennis ball will cause a bigger effect then 3000rpm on a racketball... It's the drag effect, and you...
