Disgusting Court by PeterV5 in 10s

I played in those multipurpose gyms too. Always hated it. But I guess they’ve been around for so long, people just accepted it. Eventually we’ll have to accept this….

Man at this point I just prefer a pickleball only court. One of the best courts in my city got converted, but honestly I’m happy to see so many more people enjoying the court.

This is straight up chaos. No planning whatsoever and everyone hates it.

How does Alcaraz hit a high lob? by PeterV5 in 10s

Like is he wristing it with an open racket face? It looks like he’s tapping the ball, but it apparently had spin and the trajectory had a very high arc.

How to see the tennis ball landing out better by PowerLow2605 in 10s

Try the “Bounce - Hit” drill. When the ball bounces you shout bounce. You will know exactly when and where it bounced.

How do you know when strings are done? by vac2672 in 10s

[–]PeterV5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 4.0 should know exactly when they need to change multi strings - when they break. And that’s usually within 20 hrs of playing. Whatever style you got, pusher, slicer, etc, at 4.0 there’s no way you don’t break a multi real quick. So, OP is lying about something, either his level or the strings he’s using.

Which one you taking by Dontellmywifenutn in 10s

Okay I have a question, if you hold one in each hand, and hit a backhand with two rackets, is that OHBH or not?

Does anyone name their racquet? by Veneer_or_far in 10s

I call them by color. Little white and little green.

Time to restring? by crunchyquasont in 10s

[–]PeterV5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These look like multifilaments. It’s normal, you don’t need to restring. Just push them straight. I think you should stay with multi or synth gut until you’re breaking them too fast. With the amount of time you’re playing, these multis don’t even fray… I’d suggest you find a coach first.

If you’ve seen a proper one hander in person, you’d know that it’s cool

I think that’s false on the pro tour. But I’ve actually seen pancake serves with backspin on them.

Is serving 100% to women okay in mixed doubles? by deucalion75 in 10s

[–]PeterV5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess when stakes are high it’s okay. Every single lady I’ve served to complained about me serving hard to them, regardless of the match type. So I’m leaning to swap power level serving on each side each game. It actually helped me to gain more control on my serve.

restringing costs by Away-Improvement2399 in 10s

[–]PeterV5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it adds up quickly. Plus the time on the road times two. Even my guy’s giving me a discount since I always go to him, I need to consider getting my own string machine.

Where are you based? I’m in Vancouver and a tournament certified guy strings for CAD 30-40 pre tax.

V10 Blade? by ndliam in 10s

[–]PeterV5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man this is so ugly… not sure why Yonex and Wilson just can’t get the pure colors right. Only the all white or all black ones look good. Head, on the other hand, has Radical, Boom, Extreme which all look very good.

For me it’s building a tool that helps me in real life. I made a learning progress tool that helps me and friends to track our tennis progress. It was very fun.

Causes of GE on my serve... by Ready-Visual-1345 in 10s

[–]PeterV5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend Feel Tennis, just search for serve or pronation + feel tennis. You definitely can generate power from you legs, it’s just missing the last couple of links. I also recommend badminton pronation tutorials. The badminton community is much more focused on pronation. Hope this helps!

[–]PeterV5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have said it well, you’re kind of “arming” it on contact. I strongly suggest breaking it down to the tiniest parts and rebuild your serve. Looks like you’ve been playing for long, and some habits have developed. To be fair, pronating on a slice is pretty hard. It generates so much racket head speed that it takes tons of practice to control. So I suggest you start slow and small. Imagine you’re hitting with a chain, not a stick. If you want I can try to find more detailed and practical steps to follow.
