    Joao Fonseca and Damage Down the Line

    A great article by Jeff Sackmann, which underlines aspects of the qualities the Brazilian has shown so far: Power is power and we are living in a different world compared to two decades ago: Fonseca's win percentage increases also strongly with the length of the rallies, which is in my book...

    Does “Babolat RPM Power” produce more free power/speed than RPM Blast or Team?

    From reading the multiple threads in this forum I think a few common opinions stand out: 1. RPM Blast produces more spin than RPM Power. 2. RPM Power is a more comfortable string for the arm/elbow. I was interested if any anyone has experience on the ball power/speed aspect. How does RPM Power...

    What's wrong with my serve?

    I am welcoming criticism, I really want to improve. I was trying to go for more speed than simply passing the ball, so I hit with a bit more power that I would use in a regular match. I think the main mistake on my serve is my toss, I hit the ball way on top of my head, sometimes I make contact...

    I have 2021 and 2023 versions of Head Gravity Pro, and I am trying to increase its power, spin potential and launch angle while retaining other great characteristics of this frame (feel, precision and control). Given its high spin potential and alleged power boost, I am currently experimenting...

    Fastest serve setup

    This is mainly a theoretical question since it is proven that big servers are not winning that much after all. All the various Isner, Roddick, Karlovic, Raonic and so on won less titles when compared to players with slower serve. Say your 1st serve speed is today 100mph (160km/h), how much...

    Quantifying racquet power

    Racquet power is one of the most referenced measures when talking about a racquet. Is there any measure that actually helps one truly assess power differences, for example, in percents? In my particular case, I am interested in understanding what is a true power difference between Blade v7...

    Hi all, I've been playing with a Pure Drive since I can remember. Currently playing with a Pure Drive 2017 in 16x19 (300g). I have always played with Babolat Pro Hurricane strings, usually at 25kg. Recently (think past few months), I have started to feel pain in my left arm (am a lefty) very...

    Yonex Poly Tour Strike power

    Hi, Do you also find PTS to have a lot of power? I play with Yonex Vcore98 with a SW of 305/330g (unstrung/strung). I usually string at 24kg. With PTS I struggle to tame its power. I really have to play like the ball is an egg and avoid to break it to keep it in. Even if I play with a lot of...

    Blade, but less demanding as Blade 98s

    Hello, I've tried Blade 98s and it's a bit to demanding for me and lacks some power. All of the Blades looks very interesting. I like to play aggressive from base line with heavy spin and especially forehand winners. Was thinking about Blade 101l. All of the 12, 13 years old club players use...

    Swing weight to power ratio—if you're strong why heavy?

    So I'm pretty new to tennis, but just wanted to discuss racquet swing weight to power ratio for your personal game style. If you're a strong athlete and heavy hitter, wouldn't it make sense to grab a racquet that's lighter in weight? If swing weight creates more power through the ball, wouldn't...

    Racquet Hunt: Something less dampened.

    I've been playing with the Aero line for almost 10 years, but since I'm not a junior anymore, I'm finding I don't need such a powerful racquet, and would like something with a little more feel and control. Recently I have demoed 5 racquets (I will rank in order of preference): 1. Yonex SV 95- I...
