    Nothing wrong with Mouratoglou coaching tips but ...

    I keep seeing his short video coaching tips on social media but realise he moves like a Thunderbird puppet when he plays, he's obsessed with the dominant eye and his annoying catch-phrase is "yessssssss". So I am wondering at the tour level is he really the Messiah? Or the accidental finger...

    Playing with higher swingweight

    I did quite a bit of searching, also thought of posting in the racquet section but this may be more applicable. Just curious if, predominately by playing, you can "learn" to play with a higher swingweight racquet. I've mostly determined 325-330 (+/- a few points) seems ideal for me. However, it...

    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...

    Closest current racquet to Blade 98 16x19 2015 version

    Hey guys, I currently play with the Wilson Blade 98 16x19 2015 version. If you know your Blades, this one was seen as quite stiff as the newer generations have become more flexible by each gen. The stiffness as well as the open string pattern, weight and head size made me love this racquet...

    Forehand Critique (Video)

    Got some critique back in September of last year. Have been working on the forehand a bit more - trying to incorporate more of the off hand on the swing as well as additional shoulder rotation. My current problem right now is that a lot of these balls seem to being going 3-5 feet long despite...

    Any tips for playing on artificial clay court?

    Hi everyone: On next Saturday, I'm going to play a match at an indoors artificial clay court. I have played once at that court, and it is like playing on some kind of sandy carpet that doesn't let you slide. The bounce is slower than on hard courts and the court seemed comfortable and easier...

    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.

    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.

    2 steps forehand 1 step back

    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...

    Next Racket

    Hi all, I'm a 3.5 player and I like playing from the baseline and I have pretty good groundstrokes off both wings. I rarely go to the net but I try to if I can. I would say I have a decent serve. Usually topspin first serve and second serve with more spin. Sometimes I hit flat and slice first...
