45:50 Maxime Cressy does he has 2 different rackets he uses 1 on serve 1 on return. Do think that is just a change in tension though compared to 2 completely different rackets
Regarding the backhand debate, I feel Borg is somewhat overlooked. He had this kinda hybrid 2 and 1 backhand. He drew back and drove through with two hands but on contact released and followed through with 1 hand. So he kinda got the power and the shape/angle. I'm surprised we've never seen anything like that since.
I don't know if this counts as technology. But I'm old enough to know when wide-body rackets came out. I went from a Yonex R-22 to an RQ-180 and that was the birth of power in my game. The RQ-180 is a beast compared to many modern day frames (about 370g strung weight)
I got 2 v14s 97 from tennis-point. What am I missing by not trying to get pro stock version? What is the stiffness of pro staff v14 97 vs old pro staff classic 6.0 from the 90s
Kyrgios definitely adds weight. Specifically, lead under the bumper guard at the top. There is proof posted on your forums that show it when he shatters his racquets.
Different strokes for different folks, min 10, meddy has interesting technique, which reminds me we’re not fed 😂 he makes it look easy, RF for life 💯, great video TW 💯
"Live every day better than yesterday" doesn't mean you think you didn’t have a good yesterday, it means you can always do better. In a way it's almost a recognition of limitless potential.
So what did the panel conclude? Is it worth buying pro stock rackets for recreational players? To me, it seems it’s an added expense that’s not necessary. Why spend $100 more per frame when the benefit is negligible at best?
Awesome! Thanks for listening and for the feedback! We were just chatting this morning on another episode we can debate and dive into - stay tuned :) Michelle, TW
the paint job on the 6.1 100 sucks. it chips off just by looking at it. I have rackets from the 90s and played every day for 2 hours with that look better than this 6.1 that I bought on black friday. and by look better, i mean have more of their paint intact. also, half the grip peeled off when i changed the first overwrap on it. PS i only play an hour a week these days. so maybe 10 hours of use with tihis racket.
First I’ve heard of this. I will start paying closer attention during his matches. I don’t see much of a benefit for him being that his serve isn’t a major weapon.
We will be recording a follow up episode here...so drop any thoughts, comments, questions and we will add them into the discussion :)

Really ? That's so cool

This is such a philosophical conversation.

This podcast was absolutely wonderful to watch and listen to! So much information that is vital to understanding the inner game of tennis 🎾🙏🏆

TROY, you can easily check if its filled by removing grommets and looking inside
This needs more likes.. solid podcast, super fun.
I saw an atp doubles player, I don't remember the name, who changed racquets to serve or to receive. It became obvious in the tiebreak 😀

This is so good lol!! We need T^2 back again
cressy served and returned with different racquets
The universal problem in tennis is the ball above your shoulder on the backhand. If anyone had figured it out Rafa would’ve probably had trouble
That's true. Makes me give respect to the great players who hit that shot well, Agassi, Novak, Nalbandian to name a few.

I can't quit that mindset anyway!

@tenniswarehouse You don't need to. You have it right.

Really enjoyed this one guys

Doesnt Seb Baez play with different setups for serving and receiving games?

Please elaborate on your thoughts re: double forehand next time. You started the thought but didn't comment. Thanks
I like tennis very much too.
Welcome, you are in good company! :)
Only the right training and technique and the correct Raquet for your style can make you a better player…
I am a troy until I want to win it
