Hey! I've been playing for around 9 months or so (hitting 5-6 times per week), and I've been trying to improve as fast as I can; however, an issue came up in the last month or two and I have no idea how it 'started.' When I first started, I had a modified eastern and was taught to hit...

I cant see a difference, the 101 (left) it is supposed to be bigger but the Blade 100 (right) is bigger and roundier shape ? Im I blind ???

hey guys. Relatively new to stringing (I've finished probably around 150 rackets) and wanted to purchase my own machine, so I bought a used gamma 5003 on ****. At first glance the machine looked ok, but upon arrival I realized it was not ready out of the box. all the parts arrived complete and...

Hello, so I've been playing for some months and decided to change my first racket for one that I feel adapts better for my playstyle. The racket Im looking for is the 2019 babolat pure aero. Im looking for a second hand racket, but I honestly dont know if Im able to discern a good second hand...

Hey fellow Tennis enthusiasts! I have done lots of research to find a good stick for myself. Unfortunately, I can't demo rackets at all, because of the place I'm from. Both these rackets are not available for demo where I'm at. Otherwise I could have tested myself which one I would buy. I'm now...

Hi, first of all I want to apologize because English is not my native language. I've been using my Wilson Ultra 100 CV gripsize 3 about 5 years now. I enjoy the racquet but I'm not completely "sold" by it. The racquet has a balance point of 320 mm, head size 645 cm² and weighs 300 grams. I'm 38...

So I'm in my first year (ninth grade) high school in a pretty large public high school. Our tennis program is pretty good, and we have players who are ranked top in the state or have been playing for a while. I have only been playing for a year (started at 13) but I made it in the team, and I am...

I injured my shoulder around March just before one of my team matches during warm ups and don't want to switch racquets just yet. At the time I was using a cheap babolat racquet that you can find at your local ***** sporting goods, so it was technique based rather than the racquet. Now I use the...

Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read this post! My friend found what we believe is a Wilson K Factor Six One Tour in his basement, but upon further inspection we are not sure if it is actually real. I attached some photos below. We initially thought this was a 2007-2008 version of the...

Hello! I just recently ordered pure aero vs vs tour grommets for my aero storms, but I believe I received ones for the new 2020 version. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. The code on mine says SKU 179304 and below says BG Pure Aero VS 20. Which definitely sounds like...

Below is a link to a Youtube I uploaded of myself earlier today hitting some serves. I apologize for the lone camera angle, if people think i should take a different angle for better critiquing, please let me know and I will. I'm happy to have your help. In the video, I describe how the serve...

I am going to buy a vcore pro 97 after testing and loving it, but I do not know which string to strung, I saw that this frame does not work well with hyper g or you need to strung with different tensions. Please help me

I am 16 years old, when I was 13 I bought i pure aero team, now I am feeling way lighter than I would like, so I was looking to buy a new one. As I am a more aggressive and strong player I was looking for a racquet with more control. I just tested de vcore pro 97(310) and I loved it but I...

Hello, for some backround. I startet playin Tennis this June and have been playing quite a bit. I had 3-4h with a coach but mostly i am self-taught (coach ist too expensive). I am using a continental grip and try to do everything i learned from videos, but double fault a lot. Most of my faults...

I've been playing with a strike for about a month now and I love it but my arm doesn't. I'm mostly fine when I'm hitting the sweetspot even with all poly, but when I'm tired I start shanking, probably due to the weight. Mine is actually really off spec, I had to add 11 grams of weight to the...

Hi all, I used to play tennis 2-3x a week growing up as a kid, it's about 10 years later and I'm trying to get back into it. Picked up a babolat pure drive and been hitting with my partner (she's much better than me) a few times a week for the last month. Having some trouble getting the...

Hi! An intermediate player, looking for a good access to top spin and power. RA stiffness not over 62. (tennis elbow) Strung weight should not exceed 315-320g. Was looking at either: Head Gravity 360+ MP Wilson Clash 100. I would love to hear your honest opinions! Thanks. Quick edit: Am I doing...

Howdy folks, thanks for taking a peep at this thread. I'm a computer rated 4.5 player. Never played college (biggest regret in life) and admit to having a racket addiction. I've gotten better over the years, but because of the amount of rackets I string & people I teach, I get discounts on stuff...

Hi everyone! I've joined a local amateur tournament, and I find I have no main strategy, so I need some help. Here's an abstract of my technique: - Serve: It's ok. Not the most powerful serve, but not weak either. I tend not to hit a very powerful 1st serve. I can vary its placement and spin. I...

I'd like to thank everyone who commented on my last vid. I spent 10 minutes or so trying implement all of your guys' suggestions before I took this vid and I figured it might take a good bit repetition to adjust my muscle memory, so I'll put some more time into it later. Anyways, to everyone who...

I've been playing with the Yonex vcore pro (290g) for about two years now and looking to switch to a more solid / stable racquet. I'm considering the babolat pure aero and Wilson pro staff rf97. But I'm open any suggestions. Some info about me, Play style - aggressive baseline, decent serve...

Hi all, Got a bit of a dilemma here. I am currently a div 1 club player in the UK and i am kind of stuck with my racket choice. I am currently using a Dunlop Biomimmetic M3.0 thats been customised to the same weight and balance as the old prostaff 95. The only issues is that this is too...

Im 17, my favorite shot is the low down the line smashing forehand.I am very fast and get to most balls and come to the net often. I lack a good over head and back hand volley. I have a hard first serve but and a slow accurate 2nd serve. I use a full bed of Luxilon Big Banger at 55 currently in...

Hi guys, I’m using a gamma progression drop weight machine and every time I’ve strung a racket so far when I get to the crosses they always end up coming off in the range of 38-45lbs. I’ve used Poly, Syn Gut, Natural Gut, Multi and always the same. I’ve also changed the tension to try and...

I wanted to switch from my 90 BLX to a larger head size and I was wondering if this setup would be good: Racket: Wilson Prostaff 97 Autograph String: Full Bed KLIP Legend 16 Tension: 60lbs Overgrip: Yonex Super Grap I actually want to try the high power that comes from a full gut, if it's too...

I recently picked up an old, recently refurbished 18-speed mountain bike. It appeared to be a pretty high-end bicycle, quite nice for its time, as far as I can tell. Comfort-wise, though, it is absolutely KILLING me. I did a 15 mile bike ride the other day, and when I tried to get back on the...

I have a friend on my high school tennis team, lets call him bob, bob is tall and uses the babolat pure aero and hits his forehand in a western grip because he is tall and likes to hit balls while they are high. Due to his grip and that he doesn't watch the ball as he hits it he ends up framing...

Okay, so here's the deal. A few weeks ago I started work in a tennis pro shop. I do court and facilities maintenance. It's at a popular yacht club in the area. Yesterday it was raining, so a good bit of the work I would have had to do wasn't doable. When I got there, the trash cans were all...

Fairly basic purpose for wanting one. Want same static weight as 90, but the plow of the RF and the sweetspot of a 97. Also don't want to drop more than $200, $250 for the black stick is way too much. Don't care if the racket is used or not, just no cracks, serious damage, etc. Also is full...

I'm slowly discovering my tennis game is like my golf game — I got the basics down quite easily then plateaued. To progress further it's taken/ing alot of time and discipline... I think I'll be 80 and have finally figured it all out. I'll shed old habits and play very well for awhile, then...
