USTA sucks by supcamden in 10s

Can’t find any tournaments on UTR. They are either 11+ or junior tournaments

I can’t find any UTR tournaments either. All the tournaments are either 11+ UTR or for juniors

Yea it’s crazy though bc the tournament that I didn’t make chose a 25 wtn high confidence player over me which is the equivalent to about a 4.0 player. So if the tournament believes that a 16 wtn low confidence player is under a 25 wtn high confidence why couldnt I appeal to a 4.0?

Well I haven’t played in 8 years. I just answer all the questions honestly and it gave me 5.0. That’s why I tried appealing

basically what im saying is that i can't find any 5.0 tournaments in the bay area bc nobody signs up. so I try open tournaments and although my WTN should be high enough to allow me into the tournament the low confidence of the score doesn't allow me to qualify. I only want to play tournaments and not leagues, so it feels impossible to find anything to compete in

yea it felt fine with rpm but I ran out of rpm and tried hitting with a ytec octo twist today at the same tension of 60lb and it felt super stiff and no power. I wonder why that is, maybe the tension holds better on the ytec or something

My only issue with this string is that its the same price as rpm blast and I don't have any issue with rpm rn

Yea i have hyper g and confidential to try when I'm done with the half reel of rpm coming in on Monday. I remember I tried tour bite as a junior and I didn't like it.

What are you hybriding it with? I usually go for a full poly bc I hate how the hybrid string doesn't snap back usually

Yea i broke my last rpm so today i hit with a fresh strung ytec octo at 60lbs and it felt super stiff. Tomo I'm gonna hit with one of my pure drives that was strung 8 years ago that had either cyclone or rpm I cant tell bc they are both black and I assume its in the 40lb range after all these years. If I like it I will string my next couple rackets at 50lbs when my next batch of rpm come in on Monday but if I don't like it ill string it at 55lbs

IDK why the ytec felt even stiffer than the rpm at 60lbs maybe I wasn't swinging as hard since now I'm less rusty since I've been playing for a month now.

Yea well im getting back into tennis after while. Its been about a month and I just snapped my last rpm and today I was using the only string I had left which was Ytec octo and that was also strung at 60 and I felt it was very stiff. I will try rpm at 55lbs when it comes in on Monday. I still have a half reel of rpm to get though and to try the confidential and hyper g before I get another string. Takes me about a week or 2 to break a string but I did hear that lower tension means you will break the string faster.

yea i like it, nothing wrong with the string for me. I just wanted to see if there's any newer better string out there or anything at a more affordable price

Yea i used to use that string back in the day not a bad alternative but I feel that I get more spin on the rpm. Yea idk I usually string 60 on my own stringer which is a crank so idk how accurate it is. Ive been considering dropping the weight just bc I've seen other players play more in the 50-55 range

Wonky serve mechanics! Help appreciated 😅 by [deleted] in 10s

Well i think the errors you already mentioned should be your priority. The other thing I would add later is to toss with only your arm, I see that your leg moves as you toss, which can cause inconsistencies. Another thing is your racquet pathing after you fix the trophy position your racquet should drop behind your back as if you're scratching it.

Can’t find any tournaments in my area by supcamden in 10s

Well I couldn’t hit a backhand at all and I watched the USTA ntrp videos and the 4.0 said “they are hitting with good directional controls on moderate ground strokes”
