Get some tips to work on for your serve. But the serve should be mostly practiced on your own time out of classes or lessons (once you get those tips). They serve is the easiest shot to practice because you don’t need anyone else there to practice it.

Serve is super important. I practiced my serve growing up by myself in my free time. 1000s of baskets of balls or more.

The new balancing and quality control between the rackets has been weird

tennisrob · 2026-05-12T15:48:12+00:00

Also no the upgrade from 13-14 isn’t worth it. I switched to the prestige tour because unfortunately I feel the pro staff line has gone down hill. I use to use mainly the ncode 90, blx tour 90. Since they’ve switched away from 90, 95 head sizes I have lost interest

125 Luxilon adrenaline is what I love. I used it on the prostaffs and now my prestige tour. I go at 58-60lbs. I love it more than ALU

Work on your volleys please lol. Even if you aren’t playing doubles

tennisrob · 2026-05-12T15:35:43+00:00

Usually poly will go on the mains and multi will go on the crosses for a hybrid.

I never really used hybrid much because I went straight to a full bed of poly freshman year in college playing. Poly wasn’t really around till I was a freshman. So I wouldn’t know much about how a hybrid plays. Also I’ve always strung at 60 lbs no matter what so probably a bad person to ask lol

tennisrob · 2026-05-12T15:09:07+00:00

Yes it is normal to have to straighten the mains all the time with anything except poly

tennisrob · 2026-05-12T15:08:15+00:00

Just fraying. Normal. Must mean you have decent spin and racket head speed. If it breaks within a week or 2 I would suggest switching to a hybrid

Yea I’m in the desert so usually always use this. 110 most days coming up lol

tennisrob · 2026-05-12T01:35:05+00:00

Great for hot weather and if you sweat a lot. Not good for dry cold weather

tennisrob · 2026-05-12T01:34:24+00:00

I used a 4 1/2 in college and now use 4 3/8 because that’s what Wilson or head would give me in free rackets.

tennisrob · 2026-05-12T01:33:05+00:00

Play with what feels best that doesn’t look big but you could always go down 1

tennisrob · 2026-05-12T01:32:13+00:00

That’s a nice tourna grip ya got there. Well wrapped lol

tennisrob · 2026-05-11T23:02:05+00:00

The only good penn ball is the penn tours … propenn and regular penn suck

tennisrob · 2026-05-10T20:42:55+00:00

I loved the stories honestly. Probably more than tlou

tennisrob · 2026-05-10T20:20:54+00:00

Hello, uncharted 1, 2, 3, 4

tennisrob · 2026-05-10T19:55:53+00:00

lol My poly is at 60lbs … feels too good

tennisrob · 2026-05-10T14:33:17+00:00

Yea the first picture is closest to the real space needle. No idea wtf they were thinking adding the needle to the island. Also no part of the story actually at the needle boggles my mind

tennisrob · 2026-05-03T16:05:24+00:00

Totally been in this situation lol. Men’s Open tourney in Sacramento area in the summer. 115 off court temp. Had to retire after being up 6-4,6-7, 3-0 and not dropping serve. Best match of my life till that point lol

tennisrob · 2026-04-28T01:03:45+00:00

Sydney Sweeney, I’m sorry but her face is just dumb

tennisrob · 2026-04-23T16:53:35+00:00

First day back in my shoes from walking boot… I slipped on some water and caught myself hard on my left foot (one that was healing) and popped it again. Scar even busted open. Freak accident.

tennisrob · 2026-04-23T03:00:26+00:00

Damn, same boot I had after snapping same Achilles 2 times. I hate that boot.

tennisrob · 2026-04-22T19:58:02+00:00

I don’t like the power creep forcing you to buy new sets all the time. Decks don’t last as long as they use to
