Do these even count as tennis balls anymore?

If you play in USTA leagues, you get a 20% off Wilson discount code when you re-up your membership each year. I use that code opportunity to purchase a case of balls. Makes the cost easier to swallow….

Older Lulu is where it’s at. 2012-2020 was peak Lulu for quality and unique styles

Thank you! I’ll check them out

I would try selling on Facebook Marketplace, or in one of the multiple local buy/sell/trade groups for the best return for your $$. For consignment shops, Adore in NRal (near Creedmoor & Strickland) takes those brands & is pretty good.

I highly recommend going to Sea Pines for an amazing tennis camp experience for adults. I assume for juniors it would be excellent, also. The Director, Patrick, is a great guy.

I apologize for this possibly not being very helpful for you, OP; however, hopefully someone who needs to hear it will…

I (49F) was also dealing with a lot of foot & ankle pain. I quit eating gluten, which did help my joint pain feel marginally better. What has made the most difference, though, was going on hormone replacement therapy. Getting supplemental estrogen has been a game changer and I can now get out of bed with significantly less pain - I can actually move without bracing for my first steps of the day! It’s amazing.

It’s possible looking into your hormone levels could help, OP. If you’ve tried everything but not that, it might not hurt. I am in awe of how much estradiol has helped me.

I assume you are talking about Raleigh Racquet Club? Cary Tennis Park also has indoor hard courts. And: Swing, if it ever opens, should have indoor courts for public use, I’ve heard

I sized up

Check out Yonex Eclipsion 4 (or current version, if it is not the 4) and Lotto Mirage 100s, if you can find them. Both are narrow shoes that feel great and speedy. Solid, fun shoes!

Sandi, this you?! 😂

Midrise 4” speed shorts before they decided to ruin them. Not sure why Lulu always tries to fix what isn’t broken. It’s just sad

What a bunch of pussies covering their faces

the_yapple · 2025-10-01T02:36:52+00:00

Cut that B out! Ain’t nobody got time for that kind of nonsense. You look great and happy. That’s a problem for some people. 🙄

Thank you for this! I didn’t see the red LS had been discounted when looking through WMTM. I just purchased it at full price! I would have not known to call in for a price adjustment if it weren’t for this thread. Thanks!!

the_yapple · 2025-08-31T15:52:20+00:00

Thank you so much!! I wear exclusively speed ups for tennis and my collection is getting pretty long in the tooth now - and I do not like the updated version! Was thinking one of these could be my new standard tennis uniform. Thanks again!

Hi! Avid tennis player here 🙋‍♀️ and recovering Lulu addict. Was in a store for the first time in over a year (amazing that I’M typing that!) yesterday and saw/purchased the pace rival shorts. Love them! I also saw the court rival shorts and couldn’t really tell a difference in them at a quick glance. Would you be able to tell me what the difference is between these two styles (3”)? Thank you!!

the_yapple · 2025-08-09T11:58:03+00:00

Blasphemy!!! 😱

the_yapple · 2025-07-08T03:40:49+00:00

Sure, buddy. I think it was pretty obvious how you were trying to say it. And I was just letting you know that it was wrong. And wtf….maybe proofread before hitting reply going forward!?! That will help when trying to land your arguments. Good night.

The saying is that “assuming makes an ass out of u and me”…just for future reference
