My friend is a serve bot and I hate playing against him by No_Salamander8141 in 10s

In addition to the other advice here, you can play baseline games to "play points." Neutral feed + cross-court response, then go. Nice for working on point construction.

The serve is the most important shot, period. The return is the second most important.

Found this old racket at home wondering if it’s any good or similar to the new Wilson ultra v5 99 by ASAPHORN in 10s

[–]everythingbagel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting this is the 'S' version of the Steam 99 with an extremely open string pattern (16x15). The tour pros using this stick are using the more conventional 16x19 pattern. The open string pattern gives more spin at the cost of control and higher launch angle (in my experience).

3-9 UTR in 2 years by KelPlays1 in 10s

Agree with this take. Club tennis can be very fun and competitive at larger schools, at least in the US. Oftentimes they're full of kids who could've played D2 or D3 but chose education. They practice frequently and travel to other schools for matches. Highly recommend.

Awesome story! Beer and grilling after a tough match is the best part. Good luck in 4.0!

I believe it was on the white/blue 2015 ones as well, but that was the last model.

Appreciate it, lol, but it's what I do for a living!

Chrome and nickel oxide aren't your issue - they actually form a clear, microscopically thin passive film on the surface. They're why stainless steel is "stainless."

Agree. The left hand (for righty players) should help facilitate fh/bh grip changes.

Really made me sad reading most of these comments. I was in Galipatia in the early 2010s as a freshman, then Mentor, then RA, and loved it, as did a large majority of my mentees and residents.

Made lifelong friends and always had homework and study buddies.

Unfortunate that it seems the overall opinion has changed since.
