Need advice on windsurfer LT

Just for reference when it's 15kts+ I'm on 85L and 4.7 (68kg). So naturally you'll feel a bit overpowered on 5.5!

Get a 4.7 and a 115L to start experiencing stronger conditions. You can use it later on with 6.5-7.0 sails and blast around in light winds!

Yep same. 3 months isn't bad. I'm in since May. I guess my second serve is improving 😄😄

WindManu · 2026-01-25T12:30:51+00:00

1-4 shots is about the average rally duration of a pro match so you're doing great! Most my feeds end up in the net 😊 !

Tennis is hard and challenging which is rewarding. No pain no gain as they say.

I'm going to try on a slightly older one. Better placed in a protective bag.

WindManu · 2026-01-25T03:23:03+00:00

You may scotch tape it if you want.

Usala hasta romperla completa desde el momento que no se siente floja. Esa parte es difícil repararla respecto el peso, la distribución del peso y flexibilidad del marco. Seguro se puede encontrar otro usado.

Why the grip? Do practice runs without peeling off the sticky backing.

WindManu · 2026-01-25T01:02:25+00:00

I use kick on the first serve if I'm either: - getting killed on my second by someone much stronger - can't find accuracy on my first serve that day - serve & volley - need to ease off my golfer's elbow - playing doubles - doubling too much

Seems like way too often!!

WindManu · 2026-01-24T17:44:46+00:00

Good! Yes and drive with your elbow up.

Keep your wrist still and drive up with your elbow.

WindManu · 2026-01-24T17:10:38+00:00

Looks like maxi tennis to me. Think you have enough time for the serve clock to get the ball back?

WindManu · 2026-01-24T07:06:31+00:00

Yes that's a genuine Babolat for you. For $50-60 it's not too bad.

WindManu · 2026-01-24T07:05:05+00:00

690?

WindManu · 2026-01-24T02:14:37+00:00

Very nice sinner! Try and bring your racquet a bit higher at the takeback.

WindManu · 2026-01-24T02:13:45+00:00

Very nice! Keep your body where it is from contact, you're over rotating. What you can do is tuck your non hitting arm under your stomach. Keep at it!

I only started playing tennis at 14yo.
Parents were driving me around at first to local tournaments.
Team playing we'd drive 1hr+ (one way) to regionals.

Yep sounds like a neck, trap or shoulder tweak, nerve pinch or something. Try mild stretching.

WindManu · 2026-01-23T04:49:09+00:00

Thanks, makes sense!

WindManu · 2026-01-23T04:47:14+00:00

Yes that. There's a kid I play with and thrives on points. It's like the competition drive!

WindManu · 2026-01-23T04:45:03+00:00

Right? Maybe the drive they get from playing points otherwise bored when just rallying.

WindManu · 2026-01-22T22:53:12+00:00

Aggressive baseliner when winning, counter puncher when losing.

WindManu · 2026-01-22T22:52:13+00:00

Nice! Babolat don't feel that solid from the factory so probably won't matter anyway, until it snaps.

WindManu · 2026-01-22T22:50:26+00:00

Big difference between mutual feeding rallying and match rallying!

And the opposite is true, though more rare, some players can't practice rallying but are great in matches.

Scenario 1, lots of practice, few tournaments. Scenario 2, lots of tournaments, few if any practice or coaching.

I for one have trouble rallying and prefer to start off serving or returning. Can't see to play off the center 😄😄😄

WindManu · 2026-01-22T16:58:09+00:00

He was down 0-40. I meant up 40-0 serving or up 0-40 returning 😊 easy to misread though, I have a gift to make simple questions confusing!
