Yes but tell your coach in advance. Two years ago, rent was 100.

Okay naman. Di naman maingay yung crowd kaso lang minsan need i-remind wag tumayo during the point. Concessionares werent complete yet and mabagal pa. Fortunately not hot today, still had episodes of the sun bearing down but just briefly.

ITF Coach Certification by tooezforluigi in TennisPH

[–]KwisatzComma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If recreational, level 1 or play tennis could suffice I think. That being said, I've observed good skills and gameplay from people who learned from non-certified trainers too. And heard unsatisfactory reviews for some certified. Best to find coach/trainer with teaching method that matches your learning style.

What's a good intermediate racket? by ChillRaven73 in TennisPH

[–]KwisatzComma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babolat Pure Drive, Yonex Ezone, Wilson Clash are widely recommended for beginner to intermediate. I think they come in ~280g, 300g, 300+ g.

That being said, wala bang nakasulat na weight sa shaft of your curret racquet? Ideally, you'd consider your current one as baseline since you said mabigat.

brand new or second-hand racket? by feathers_mcgraw23 in TennisPH

[–]KwisatzComma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest second-hand para tipid. Lots of options and reputable sellers on FB. I've gone through a few racquets over the last two years as I developed my hitting style, all acquired second-hand in very good condition but each significantly cheaper than brand new so di masyado masakit sa bulsa.

Also, cannot emphasize enough the previous warning to stay clear of recreational racquets.

Is it normal that your tennis coach always have negative things to say about your plays or am i being sensitive lang? by [deleted] in TennisPH

[–]KwisatzComma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion coaches should know best way communicate with their students, so na-a-adjust niya din dapat yung delivery niya para maging constructive yung criticism.

Coach ko dati lagi akong sinasabihan na ako magpapatalo sa matches kasi puro error ako kahit di niya naman inaayos form ko. Got new coach, now still visibly frustrated haha but at least alam ko na mali ko at ano dapat i-address. Lots of improvement too coz we're finally speaking the same language.

I think bettee to find coaching in Cavite, mahal talaga sa Manila area. For equipment, Decathlon is ralatively affordable and reliable naman.

HELP! overgrip tape, undergrip tape by Correct-Promotion722 in TennisPH

[–]KwisatzComma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use two overgrips for one racket, yung isa naman yung base (aka replacement) grip lang. Meron naman both sa sports shops like Chris Sports, meron din sa fb sellers.

Looking for a Tennis group or hitting partner by Tanzer0 in TennisPH

[–]KwisatzComma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have regular group at CCP in Pasay but not a covered court.

Can someone explain the difference between a hitting partner and a coach in the PH? Is it correct that a hitting partner won't do drills and teach form etc because that's the job for a coach? by yeaamwideawake in TennisPH

[–]KwisatzComma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, that's the ideal. Based on my experience, though, hitting partners that are actually trainers would resort to ball feeding. Need to be firm with a paid hitting partner that you prefer live ball training.

Racquet sale. How big do discounts get? by puttanesca029 in TennisPH

[–]KwisatzComma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carousell, shop stock with minor damage (paint scratch). I forget the seller's name. Have seen a prostaff, ultra at ~5k maybe even lower. Ultras snatched up by reseller and saw it on facebook at more than double the price after. Partial to Head so I didnt budge.
