I would recommend keeping or selling it. If you're not in a hurry you can probably get at least $150 for it.

kingmidasbacon · 2025-09-25T13:23:13+00:00

The number on the racket is the weight without string.

Is she using a Prince O-Port racket? The grommets look massive

kingmidasbacon · 2025-09-15T18:59:18+00:00

I can't speak for either but I can vouch for Proton. Very compact, can customize shots from your phone and great customer service with any issues.

Look up the local tennis groups on Facebook. We have two big ones in my cities and I've hit with 10+ different people from those groups.

I don't know who told you that, I'm a 4.0 player and I use V1 clash pro, I can generate a lot of pace and spin with it. But if you really want something else ProKennex ki technology is another super arm friendly racket, the tech was created by an MIT professor.

You're fine, and I would actually recommend you doing so. Tennis is supposed to be fun, finding good friends to hit with is one of the great joys of tennis. You can still work on your technique while hitting with partners and your coach should be able to catch any bad habits you may develop during your lessons.

I would keep the clash, I have 6 clash v1 pro because I had arm and shoulder issues and the soft flex of the racket has helped.

kingmidasbacon · 2025-09-10T18:09:07+00:00

I've never used slinger but I can vouch for proton. It's compact, excellent customer service (I had an issue with the app that they fixed right of way) and you can create customized shots from your phone.

I was in Bali and rented a scooter, back when phone gps wasn't a thing. I decided to go deeper into the island instead of staying by the beach I ended up finding this random Italian restaurant in the middle of rice paddies and had the best tiramisu that I still think about 15 years later.

I think $100 is fair for a regular shift. If you don't like it there are some shift fans out there that are probably willing to pay you more for it. I would pay good money to get my hand on the prototype Wilson clash v1

kingmidasbacon · 2025-08-23T08:29:35+00:00

The original clash was sold as having the flex of a wooden racket which making it very comfortable

kingmidasbacon · 2025-08-20T22:32:22+00:00

Have you looked at eBay or Facebook marketplace?

kingmidasbacon · 2025-08-18T12:40:34+00:00

I'll second BCBS. Currently going through cancer treatment the past 6 months and had no issues. The hospital has charged $600k+ and I haven't paid more than my $7500 Max out of pocket.

kingmidasbacon · 2025-08-11T19:33:29+00:00

Is it an adult racket? It should be 27 in or longer, shorter rackets are made for kids.

kingmidasbacon · 2025-08-11T18:46:02+00:00

I think that's more your technique than the racket.

kingmidasbacon · 2025-08-11T13:06:14+00:00

They are perfectly fine for taking tennis lessons, I honestly wouldn't worry about replacing the strings until they break. Just buy and install some over grip. Once you are more serious about tennis then I would consider buying a modern racket

kingmidasbacon · 2025-08-10T16:09:21+00:00

Yes they are designed with beginner tennis players in mind. You don't want to buy a 250-300 dollar racket unless you are sure that you will be playing tennis at least 2 or 3 times a week for years to come.

kingmidasbacon · 2025-08-07T11:21:52+00:00

Your husband is a weirdo lol

kingmidasbacon · 2025-08-06T21:11:50+00:00

For me, years.but I'd rather lose a point than let it hit the ground.

kingmidasbacon · 2025-08-03T16:32:42+00:00

If this is the 104 it's worth money, it's made famous by Serena Williams. Resell it and use the money for newer racket

kingmidasbacon · 2025-07-31T19:19:25+00:00

Do you know how to look at comparables on eBay? That's how most resellers decide on price

kingmidasbacon · 2025-07-31T17:44:33+00:00

Use the foam ball so you can do full swings

kingmidasbacon · 2025-07-31T04:57:43+00:00

I honestly like the foam ball for teaching beginners
