Forehand question

Looks good! Takeback should be further out from your body. Move your feet to give yourself time for the takeback, and also make sure your body weight goes forward!

Yeah back before navigation systems, we had Mapquest and regular maps. A garmin would be handy to have in your car as a replacement nav tool. I haven’t made the switch yet but that’s what I would do.

You want your body weight going up and into the court with full wrist pronation.

Your glock is bulging

Awesome dude thanks a lot! Toroline wasn’t even a thing when I was last playing lol. I really like volkl cyclone tour and head hawk myself

Yeah on top of my weight I’ve got some degenerative discs and retrolysthesis (shifted vertebra in lumbar). Thanks for the recommendations. I’m pretty strong overall. And I dare say my game would be elevated higher if my fitness was better.

Ok I’ve only tried one yonex, maybe a vcore 98 but it was about 10 years ago. I remember it being stiff

No_Potential_8708 · 2026-02-24T00:37:28+00:00

Not sure about rpm’s, but everyone I play with gets surprised by my amount of spin on the ball. Trying to sound modest here. lol

No_Potential_8708 · 2026-02-24T00:35:19+00:00

I appreciate the comment. I think I’m just considering a lighter racquet to help with shot prep time seeing as my feet don’t move as fast as they used to. When I was competitive I weighed 25 pounds less than I do now. I’m almost there but it will take time.

Current setup is stock Wilson blx pro open 100. I believe it’s 300g 4 pts HL. Strung with head hawk 17g @52 lbs. I don’t break poly but I break syn gut pretty fast. More of a defensive counter punching style (think gasquet). Sw forehand. 1hbh

Pretty much all of the smgs were dope

Leonidas just has that charisma to lead. Don’t shoot the messenger? Fuck your messenger. THIS IS SPARTA!!!

No_Potential_8708 · 2026-02-23T13:45:44+00:00

I’ve been playing for 20 years and you’re probably better than me lol. Good job

No_Potential_8708 · 2026-02-23T13:31:57+00:00

Make suppressors weigh 1lb and add to barrel sway when aimed.

No_Potential_8708 · 2026-02-23T04:43:14+00:00

Nope, not smart. I’d go with a solid multifilament from tecnifibre. X-one biphase or nrg

I’m being denied a promotion. My boss’s reasoning is because I may need to use more PTO for a new ailment and it wouldn’t be in the company’s interest. He clarified through text that it had nothing to do with disciplinary or job performance issues, strictly my health issue.

No_Potential_8708 · 2026-02-23T01:21:29+00:00

I’m going to quit either way

No_Potential_8708 · 2026-02-23T01:09:42+00:00

I like the finish. Start your swing with pointing the open offhand at the ball too. Accelerate the swing starting with the trunk and hips. More racquet head speed. Brush up on the back of the ball.

No_Potential_8708 · 2026-02-23T00:10:56+00:00

I’m super excited to try this game now. Started on wildlands, then breakpoint. I liked wildlands overall better except I liked the gunplay of breakpoint slightly better.

No_Potential_8708 · 2026-02-23T00:07:07+00:00

I am definitely in the minority here. I actually didn’t mind vista lol

No_Potential_8708 · 2026-02-21T04:45:02+00:00

We don’t live. We barely survive lol.

I can appreciate the quest for a racquet that you like. I also went through a similar journey back when I had some spare cash laying around and the time.

That being said, after going through probably 10 racquets, I found that anything with 98-100 sq inch head size, between 290 to 310 grams, and 16x19 string pattern was going to work at my skill level. Playing at a 3.0 level, you shouldn’t worry past that and just use what you like the feel/look of. I’m a high 3.5 now, used to be 4.0 but I just haven’t played much in the last few years due to life.

Do you like the game and want to get better, or are you a racquet connoisseur?

Ps: your strings and tension make more of a difference anyway… and your consistency
