I've been having great success for the past several years with leaded-up midplus frames trimmed down to 26.75".
Yesterday I realized that I was playing really well with my 26.75" Angell, but I started wondering if maybe going even shorter will be even better?
My serve is not great right now, but it seems that my serve issues are less racquet related and have more to do with life getting in the way of tennis, and only finding time to get on court and hit serves and play about once per week. I'm coming to terms with the fact that playing 2-3 times week is not realistic given my other priorities, and I need to focus my tennis energy on improving my ways to win on a tennis court without an offensive serve.
The only thing in the past keeping me from going shorter was my fear that I would lose too much on the serve. But if I don't have a serve to begin with, and my other shots are more important, then why not? I'm confident that going another 1/4" shorter is going to bump up the confidence of my forehand and net game!
Not sure which of my frames will be first to receive another trimming from 26.75" down to 26.5". Maybe my BLX 6.1 95 Team 18x20?
