    too much sliding...?

    So I'm not a pro or coach or expert or even an amateur talk tennis pundit...I'm just a guy that plays tennis some days a week So my question is, is there too much sliding going on? I play on clay most of the time and don't slide. (Mostly because I don't know how) but it doesn't seem to impact...

    Clay court shoes on Savannah courts?

    I’m wondering if anyone has used clay court shoes on savannah courts before?. I’m thinking of getting the ASICS gel court speed(clay court) or the Adidas ubersonic 2’s(clay court). They say you can use omni court shoes, but they look just like hardcourt shoes. All opinions really appreciated.

    Playing on clay vs. Plexicushion

    In my part of the world, 90% of courts are clay and 99.9% of players want to play only on clay. I learned to play tennis on red clay but recently spent some time playing on Plexipave Plexicushion "hard" courts. I actually discovered my hate for clay growing bigger and bigger the more I play on...

    Strings break more easily on clay than on hard court?

    Clay particles rub the string like sand does? Getting into the cross of two strings? I have never stepped onto a clay court though. Just a wide guess.

    Are there any clay courts in Texas that I don't need a membership for? I don't mind renting the courts, but I don't want to pay a full country club fee...

    Will Federer ever play on clay again?

    Simple question. And if he does, what are the chances of him winning RG/MC/Rome? RG i feel is out of bounds now. He has come close to MC/Rome titles in recent years, but lost in the finals.

    Which court is hard to master? Grass vs Clay?

    I have not played on Grass personally. I am recreational player, playing ONLY on Clay. IMO grass is hard to master: - low bounce - ball skids - big severs have great advantage - shorter rallies / risky game - slippery surface, makes it to hard to reach out to every ball and time it effectively...

    Why do clay courts provide so many bagels and one sides sets?

    I've always wondered why the clay season provides so many one sided sets, and is the surface with the highest probability for a bagel. What is the single biggest reason? I'm currently thinking it's mainly down to the slowing down of the court speed, thus rendering fast serves less effective -...
