I’ve been playing tennis for 16 months now. I’ve been taking lessons once a week since the beginning (except in the summer). I went from not playing tennis at all to have a decent technique thanks to my lessons at my local club with very good pro instructors. I also play once or twice per week. I have never broken any strings and I play on clay 95% of my time. I tend to hit a bit flat sometimes but I’m trying to get better at generating spin. It’s tough of course because playing tennis is hard. My errors are more on the “ball goes long” side than on the “it hits the net” side. I’m also working on ball placement because I still struggle a lot with making the ball go where I want.
I recently started competing and my official ranking is 2.5. I’ve only played a few official matches.
I’m 5’9’’ and 133 lbs. Mid-30s. Good overall shape. (I’m on the thin side). I’ve been running for +5 years and I eat well.
I used a Vcore 100 Plus (10.6oz) until recently but after it broke accidentally I just got an Ezone 100 2022 (10.6oz). I’ve always used multi strings and I plan on continuing like that for at least a couple of years until my technique gets better (footwork, generating more spin, etc). Then I might switch to poly. I used to use Head Rip Control but felt a bit muted and with not so much feeling. I also tried Xcel before and didn’t the like it that much.
I plan on stringing the Ezone with Prince Premier Control (16g). I often feel I don’t need to swing too fast in order for the ball to fall deep into the court. Actually sometimes it goes out, but it’s a technique issue 98% of the time. I’d like to have a little bit more control though. I see that string (PPC) recommended everywhere and I’d like to try it.
Since the Ezone is a powerful racket, do you think stringing it with PPC at 55lbs is too overkill and would I risk arm problems? I’ve never strung that high before. Or should I string it somewhere between 50-52?
Also, any other recommendations? Anyone else using PPC on an Ezone?
Thanks.
