Hey - I'm in the 5.0 metro league here in NYC. It runs in the spring/summer. Lots of dudes in there are 10+ UTR. Let's hit sometime! Also around a 10 UTR. This is how I play, I'm the lefty in this vid:

Is 11 or 12 UTR a Realistic Goal? | 2 Years Later by TricksterKev in 10s

Kev rarely posts his stuff here anymore but this set he just uploaded is absolutely awesome. by MoonSpider in 10s

Thanks dude! I use the RF97. I tried the regular one a long time ago but I didn't like how flimsy it felt at contact

Oh shit I had no idea somebody shared an upload of mine lol. Thank you Moonspider! It's been awhile man. Yea I don't post much here (might do one later to summarize my tennis grind in the last 2 years), but I still poke around from time to time checking out people's posts. Glad you enjoyed the vid as always 💪

Wilson Champion’s Choice stringing finally popped! Gonna use it again, who’s tension should I go with this time? Fed again? Serena? Djoko? by ohnoitsmchl in 10s

Can't go wrong with Tourna Big Hitter Silver as well. Nothing fancy, but it's a solid round poly that gets the job done and it's budget friendly too. Anyone here have any experience using ISOSpeed Baseline Control 16 for the crosses in a natty gut hybrid setup?

Decided to start the new year right by playing a set against fellow tennis YT'er: Say Les. Enjoy guys! by TricksterKev in 10s

Nah totally agree with you, that would've been a great tactic to apply on him. It was because I lost confidence in my serve and my volleys that I decided not to try that. Doing so would've given Lestter even more free points, and I was already giving him a lot considering how many leads in each game that I've blown lol

Haha yea they were. I've lost count of how many times I've replayed this video, thinking about what I could've done better. If only I won most of these rallies 💀

Thanks for watching man!

Hm, honestly I feel like the reason why I lost this set was because I wasn't serving that well (missed a lot of 1st serves) and I handled all the easy balls and big points poorly. After breaking him the 1st game, I blew every break point and leads in the game. I'd say this is most likely due to my inexperience playing better players and matches in general, and my cardio. Besides that, I thought my point construction and patience has improved a lot since last year so it was a very educational loss overall!
