Now that my work is letting us travel again, I will be in the Port St Joe/Panama City, FL area for the first two weeks of May. As such I want to stay on court as much as possible. I'm a guy, average 4.0 NTRP, I play singles/doubles/mixed and am just looking to get in some tennis while...

Have you ever played Tug of War in tennis? It's a great way to play singles points without the hassle of keeping both yours and your partner's score. Also it is fun because a game could take 5 minutes, or it could take an hour. The game starts at "5". Player A is trying to get to 0 and...

I have been playing tennis in a pair of running shoes and have been having bed shin splints after playing. I play on hard courts only. My play style varies depending on my opponent. Against weaker opponents I tend to look to serve and volley and attack the net a lot while against better...

I use white Wilson Pro Overgrip and instead of the overgrip changing to a dirty brown color it changes to a dark green color. Not sure that this is necessarily a tennis question but hoping someone would know why this happens.

Hello, I was watching a youtube video and was curious to try and figure out which Dunlop racquet the person is using. Sadly, these were the best screenshots I could take: Link to picture Another picture

Hello my friends, I am wheelin to switch racquets at the moment. I still use my Wilson Hyper Carbon Pro Staff 5.0 (16x20), which is excellent. In fact, i am starting to feel it a bit heavy now that I am nearly 36 yo. I made up my mind and will acquire a new tf 40 305g, but my main concern is...

1) Videos of serve instructors, coaches, etc. saying the words "Internal Shoulder Rotation". "Medial Shoulder Rotation" is the same joint motion in many other counties. 2) Written instructions by serve instructors, coaches, etc. using the words "Internal Shoulder Rotation". "Medial Shoulder...

Excluding all things Djokovic-vaccines-AustralianGovernment....what is one thing you are look forward to in the world of tennis? For me, it's Molcan v. Ruusuvuori. Neither player is ranked very high, but both played some great tennis in 2021.

Hey guys! I play with my Yonex Vcore 95 (2018) with Solinco tour bite at 45 lbs, and as much as of pain it is to string it up I love it! Recently, I came across a similar-looking string for a cheaper price, that being the Yonex PTD. I was wondering what the playability duration would be like...

Hi guys, Im looking to purchase a new racket and as the title suggests, my game style is an aggressive baseliner who enjoys taking big cuts at the ball and going for a lot of shots on both wings. Generally have a big serve, playing a lot of +1 and short points. I’m coming from the Angell TC 97...

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you’ve waited for. The matchup you’ve all been clamoring to see. Tiger vs Mickelson? Think bigger. Frazier vs Ali? Think better. Federer vs Nadal? Okay, let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves, but it’s close to that ;) August 28, 2021. The day the Earth...

How far away can you locate the ball from an incoming ground stroke? We are trying to get information on when the ball can no longer be located due to its speed and limitations of the eye & brain. Please go out on the court to observe a few better paced incoming ground strokes. Hit the ball...

Time to share your proudest stories. What's the best compliment you've received as a player? Yesterday night a guy I hit with for an hour said that returning my groundstrokes was like "getting punched in the face over and over".

My greatest achilles heel has been short balls. Specifically identifying whether a ball is gonna be short so I can advance into the court to hit it. My normal position is usually about 2 1/2 feet away from the baseline. Have any of you more experienced players cracked the code on identifying...

Preventing Rafa from reaching #21 is almost as good as winning the tournament for The Djoker. Djoker will have to make Rafa really battle so Rafa has nothing left in the tank for the Final.

if I have roughly utr 7 right now (9th grade) is it possible to increase that to a 10 utr in 1 year and from there go to a high 12 or low 13 when I graduate high school and get recruited to a good d1 tennis program? I know I haven't provided a lot of details, I am just asking if this would be...
