below 11.5 oz is a tweener, period. If you watch enough tennis on ESPN2,
have you heard how people were blaming Serena Williams about her racquet?
According to TW forum, Henin is using a Paint Job of Wilson Hyper Hammer
5.3 with Powerhole.
I think if one hits with a lot of people above 4.0
level, it's better NOT to use a tweener racquet, because
1) he will not improve
2) he will end up with tennis elbow |

发帖数: 517 | 2 New to this forum, found the articles interesting and informative.
I string my own racquets with 17 gauge ployester on main and multifilament
on cross. Polyester has very high modulus so tiny elongation translates into
large tension increase. I usually pull main at 49/50 lbs. After the cross
is installed, main tension raises to 59/60 lbs.
Anyone here string their own racquets? Welcome to share your experience on
stringing and customizing your racquets. |

发帖数: 1131 | 3 Yoss is a much much higher hand than me, so take my experience from a total
beginner perspective.
I got the same racquet with Wilson reaction strung at 58. The reason why I
want a different racquet other than my current K6.1 95 is that K6.1 95 is
heavy and I begin to feel it at my shoulder after almost one week's hitting.
Also, I have troubles to control my racquet when I try to pronate. This
might also due to K6.1 95's weight.
After a match and some hitting today, here are my impressions:

No, I do not add any weight on my racquet at all. It is a personal
preference.
My instructor let me try the serve motion with a badminton racquet. I was
amzed by the racquet speed I could generate, so I decided to stay with the
original weight.
How do you like it? |

发帖数: 283 | 6 if you have really powerful/fast backhand swing, you should go for heavy,
head-light and stiff racquets, so you have better control from your
swing, not the racquet itself and you can hit the baller much harder w/o
sending it all out of bounds
single-handed backhand ground stroke is much more difficult to control,
if you are just playing slice defense, then the racquet does not really
matter too much, make sure you get a low-pound string, open pattern so
you can get a better bite off the ball

发帖数: 758 | 8 Back in China, I always asked to string my racquet at 75 lbs although I didn

发帖数: 886 | 9 I guess it is from one old racquet's recommendation.
I have the old racquet which has the same recoomendation too.
It is very strange, so high.
However I just strung it with my normal lbs, no more than 60 lbs. It is
fine too.
If I tried to strung at 70 lbs, the strings is easily to be broken.
So, KennyD you paid $2 for an old racquet and $20 for it to be strung, right
? |

发帖数: 3845 | 10 It really depends on the racquet/string pattern, 1 piece or 2 piece.
For 2 piece, I have to cut it at the exact place, so time wasted on
measuring it. Also 2 piece requires 2 additional knots, which takes extra
time.
Some racquet have tough blocked holes to handle, which takes time. The
easiest racquet to string is POG, which is only 14X18 pattern. |

Tennis Magazine, but their system couldn't accept it.
You got to buy 3/8. If you buy 1/4 and add either heat shrink sleeve or an
additional layer of grip/over grip, it will change the balance of the
racquet. I prefer my backup racquet to be the same specification, so that I
can switch to it without down time.

If you think about it, it's pretty hard to break a racquet in a cardboard

KennyD, you should buy some 50c old racquet covers too. I see them in thrift

Most tennis players prefer to strike groundstrokes at a height somewhere

发帖数: 3845 | 36 我那时一个Season才练到3.5左右的双反水平，也走了些弯路，最大的误区是右手用太
多，这样Follow Through伤了肘。刚开开始练主要是Self Feed，学会步伐，学会打non
pace ball，non pace的高球打起来最难。刚开始左手经常在Semi和Eastern调整。右
手non-brainer是continenal grip。现在偶反手遇到低球可以Flat Out，遇到高球也可
以Topspin周旋。也可以Slice，也可以很隐蔽放小球。而且，Aapproach shot拉开角度
非常有信心。
接发球：接一发应该最容易的，双反就是一个Block，Late点也没关系。
接高球或non pace的高球：关键是要Raise hand/elbow/racquet head, 然后要drop
wrist/racquet head，这个是Solid Contact和racquet speed的关键。
最后随挥要注意，彻底放松右手（assume你右撇子），我的tip是只用三个手指握。 |

I know Fischer M Pro No 1 was choice of racquet by Baghdatis.
And Fischer Pro No 1 (older version) was choice of racquet by Kafelnikov.
The older version of Fischer Pro No 1 is more solid and more control than
any Wilson 6.1 95 that I owned before.
The Fischer M Pro No 1 is a little lighter, it's a lot ot control, very
comfortable to use.

additional weight added will be around 0.6 oz. All POG OS and POG Mid that I

I think the reason that you feel prestige pro is too low power is probably
the string/tension comes with the demo.
You can try low tension poly or hybrid in this racquet, and you may like it
. The racquet feels pretty crisp.
With your excellent form of core rotation and swing, you can generate your
own power. IMO, no need to go for a more powerful racquet.
