from what I heard, PureDrive/AeroDive Rackets are good;those rackets has alot of power but they are too stiff(Not arm friendly). recommended for Baseliners/hard hitters. and too many teenagers are using babolat nowadays.

anyone here bet on tennis?

[KIM_SAYS:]

^I don't.

HAHA but why are you asking?

[chiniria]

I suck at tennis..
My serves are inconsistent.. and I can't keep the ball in the court.
I'm number 2 varsity because number 1 singles went to doubles and number 2 went up.
I want to find someone to play with me so I won't lose my game.
PALs are on Halloween and I'm pretty sure that I'll lose the first game.
I love the sport I'm just too lazy to find out when tournaments are to watch them. The guys in my school are pretty good and crazy about tennis.. *sigh*

[mistapooh]

anyone here bet on tennis?

I don't, but I know a dude that would bet 1-2k on a set O_O.

chiniria, you live in cali; tennis is huge there. Try finding tennis in the suburbs =*(.

i need some help..my mental game is not where it should be....
ever since last may..i haven't been playing well..then i had no opportunity to play in the summer..and i was playing well when school started again..but i was forced to change my form becuas emy coach said i was using too much harm on my groundstrokes..and i knew it too becuase i was hitting nice shots, but my arm would kill afterwards but the new form just wasn't workin gfor me..so i was forced co ahnge it again a second time..and idk..its only been a week..but either way, my serves been changed, my slices overheads and volleys are a mess..i have two tournaments coming up in two weeks..and i just don't feel confident and im pretty sure that im about to get my ass owned at the tournaments..im considering dropping out of them..but idk..and with this little progress in the past month..idk if i can be good enough again by the time its like jan-feb or maybe early march when tryouts are...

what strings does everyone use and what tension?

[iRad]

^I'm currently using Head Synthetic String and planning to switch to Lux Big Banger ALU after my current string breaks.

My Tension is about 10-20% of the recommended tension written on the racket. The Recommended tension in my racket is 58-68. After I restringed my racket, the tension is 2pts higher(60); Its a lil burden in my arm right now with that tension.

[everlastingxx]

string: wilson synthetic gut
tension: 60
