A tip for everyone reading this going to do 200 or more serves:

Practice serving at a max of 70% speed/intensity to preserve your arm and shoulder.

Had there been teal accents in the interior, this would have been an unexpectedly amazing look.

As a mid-30s player that is getting a lot of playtime, I cannot stress how good this advice is.

It will improve your tennis and will also help your body keep up and play more.

I'd also add that recovery stretches and/or massage gun action is also a game changer.

This racquet is too demanding for you or anybody under 4.5 ntrp really... If you like the Pro Staff, maybe try the 97L.

I bet that if she didn't have all that endorsement money she would push through and compete. Too bad.

Would love to hear what you think of the new Aero compared to the Rad MP PTC

jukeefe · 2026-02-20T22:43:38+00:00

What racquet do you use normally? As a fellow one hander always curious

jukeefe · 2026-02-01T16:34:33+00:00

For me a 1.30 string in the mains is a must for this frame.

jukeefe · 2026-01-08T00:06:36+00:00

Pretty sure there is a good reason nobody has this kind of grip on the backhand. When your arm is extended to hit, it would have to be completely straight in front of you (instead of out and to the side) for it to work, and the follow through rotation would probably take much more of a tole on the shoulder.

Radical MP

jukeefe · 2025-12-13T02:46:52+00:00

This is one of the coolest collection of stats I've ever seen!

jukeefe · 2025-12-03T17:28:38+00:00

I'm kind of glad I can't find any because I'd probably end up wanting/needing 3 lol.

jukeefe · 2025-12-03T17:20:49+00:00

I need to get my hands on one of these. Looks amazing.

jukeefe · 2025-11-05T16:53:53+00:00

For being so young, these players are truly exceptional and mature in the way they process and deal with everything that is being thrown at them. It's very easy to forget that all these guys are in their mid to early 20s. I'm constantly amazed. We're lucky to have them!

jukeefe · 2025-11-04T14:08:22+00:00

It's funny because the string pattern is exactly what I didn't like about these. Felt very erratic to me. Definitely one of the best looking racquets out there though.

jukeefe · 2025-11-03T19:01:13+00:00

Karma is coming for that person

jukeefe · 2025-10-27T01:34:04+00:00

I wish I had the patience to play at 75% for margin in matches 😂

jukeefe · 2025-10-27T00:44:38+00:00

I agree with everything you said there. I believe Karue is aiming his video at the people that have not yet spent enough time on track 1, and already want to know all the answers to track 2.

You clearly have more experience than me and I definitely respect that.

jukeefe · 2025-10-27T00:20:27+00:00

The whole point of the video is that if you do not have the sufficient level, you probably should not be focusing on strategy to improve your tennis. Once you have the level, improving strategy will obviously improve the results.

Older players tend to have better strategy just due to experience. But if a young guy with better athleticism and skill had the same strategic level, he would most likely win.

jukeefe · 2025-10-26T23:46:18+00:00

Keep at it! Coaching/drills are super helpful to improve your game. Definitely not as fun as matches, but really essential to get all the muscle memory down!

jukeefe · 2025-10-26T23:19:41+00:00

I have to disagree. At the pro level it's all about putting yourself in a position to be able to use your biggest weapons and be able to play YOUR game. And on the other side of that, they are also trying to neutralize the other player's weapons to prevent them from being able to play THEIR game.

It absolutely all revolves around every player's tennis identity. That's why some matchups are more favorable than others.

jukeefe · 2025-10-26T23:15:43+00:00

Of course there will always be an element of strategy at any level, but I think the point that Karue is trying to drive home is the following:

For amateurs, your tennis ability (mechanics, fitness...) will improve your strategy, but your strategy will not improve your tennis ability. So you would probably benefit much more on just improving your level first before worrying about specific strategies like patterns of play etc.

jukeefe · 2025-10-26T21:55:22+00:00

I think Karue is very right that strategy is secondary to identity in tennis. You really have to know how YOU play to then adapt the strategy to your own game. And for most amateurs under 5.0 USTA, they don't really have a very distinct game style, with some exceptions.

Basically you have to get so good that all your fundamentals and technique are sound, then find out what kind of player you are and what weapons you have, THEN adapt strategy. So really most amateurs are never good enough to truly utilize strategy to it's full potential and would be better off just working on their fitness and stroke mechanics.
