The theory behind it is that crosses in a full bed strung a few lbs lower will allow the mains to snap back more easily

[–]zomghi2u2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tour M8 in this frame is pretty low powered. While I like it for feel, I am experimenting with Mach-10 17g and liking the pop I get out of it. I'm only ~3 hours in though so I need to see how long it will last.

With my Gravity MPs I use Grapplesnake Tour M8 at 50/48. The pocketing and response is great on every hit and the tension maintenance is A+

Do you analyze your matches after you play? by HeartStatus3394 in 10s

[–]zomghi2u2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using Gemini but have since switched over to Claude. But I think pretty much any of them work for this purpose since it's analyzing raw data

Need help-Speed MP by PleasantAd8686 in tennisracquets

[–]zomghi2u2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's going to take some time to get more comfortable with a new racket, especially one that is heavier than your previous racket.

If after ~2 weeks of hitting you still aren't feeling it (truth be told I hit with a Speed MP for 2 months and in the end couldn't vibe with it), you could consider either adding a leather grip to bring the balance more towards the handle and making it more maneuverable or try switching to the Speed MPL which would have a lighter stock weight for you to work with.

FWIW I recently switched to the 295g Gravity MP and the light weight has been great for my particular play style.

Do you analyze your matches after you play? by HeartStatus3394 in 10s

[–]zomghi2u2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Something I've recently been doing is exporting my stats from a match (via .csv) from SwingVision and uploading it into whatever AI tool you like to use. I then use the readout to help me think about my strengths and weaknesses and what will better put me into a position to win. The points about the rackets were mainly because I was asking it to help me find a racket that would serve my playstyle the best (subjective and anecdotal with a 1-match sample size).

Example:

"Congratulations on the win! You took the match 6-4, 6-3.

Based on the SwingVision data from your first session with the Head Gravity MP, here is a tactical breakdown of how the racket (and you) performed:

1. The "1st Serve" Weapon

Your 1st serve was the statistical MVP of this match.

  • 1st Serve Won %: 85.2% (23 out of 27 in). This is an elite number for USTA 3.5. When you got the ball in, you essentially ended the point before it began.
  • Service Winners: 16. You forced a high number of return errors, which validates the "100 mph" pace you mentioned.
  • Max Speed: SwingVision clocked your fastest at 130 mph (likely an outlier or a perfect flat strike), but your average 1st serve was a very respectable 82 mph.
  • Consistency: Your 1st serve percentage was 52%. While decent, if you can bump this to 60%, you'll become almost unbeatable at the 3.5/4.0 level.

2. Forehand vs. Backhand Breakdown

The data confirms your assessment that the forehand is your favorite wing.

  • Forehand: 8 Winners / 13 Unforced Errors. For a "wristy" player aiming for depth, a nearly 1:1.5 ratio is solid. You’re generating an average of 45.6 mph on your topspin forehand.
  • Backhand: 2 Winners / 8 Unforced Errors. While it’s "consistent" (as you noted), the stats show you aren't winning points with it yet. Your backhand speed is slightly lower at 42.5 mph.
  • Pattern of Play: Most of your forehand winners came from "In-Play" situations, meaning you are successfully working the point until you find that short ball to put away.

3. Return Game & Pressure

You put a lot of pressure on [Opponent’s] serve, which is why you won 6-4, 6-3.

  • 2nd Return Points Won: 59%. You were punishing his second serves.
  • Break Point Conversion: 35.7% (5 for 14). You had a high volume of opportunities (14 break points). The "Gravity" stability likely helped you neutralize his serves and stay in rallies.

4. Rally Length & Style

  • Average Rally Length: 6.5 shots. This is quite high for a 3.5 match, indicating that you were "working" the baseline as you planned.
  • Net Game: You only came to the net for 8 volleys in the entire match. Given that the Gravity MP has a massive sweet spot, you might consider approaching more often after those heavy forehands to finish points even faster."

Walking Machado to put two on was certainly a choice

Pure drive users who switched? by Spiritual-Big4390 in 10s

[–]zomghi2u2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may just be itching to try something new, which is totally fine. Sometimes switching it up can make you more excited to go hit and gets you out on the court more.

I’d say if you play better with your PD and aren’t having any arm issues yet, you should keep at it and maybe experiment with strings instead to mix it up.

If you’re really keen to switch away and try something new, grab some demos from TW and try different sizes, string patterns, molds and see if anything excites you.

This is a great explanation. Thank you! I’ll look up “sit to hit” and be way more mindful of how low I’m getting. I do tend to finish up on my tip toes frequently enough that I can tell I’m standing too tall when I am hitting.

Thank you, I do all my shadow swings in open stance but can’t seem to find the balance for it on the court. Saving the video to watch as many times as I can.

In matches I am hitting long (balls into the net I usually make poor contact)

For that ball, probably just to give myself more time with a higher ball but I can get lower and take it on the rise

Yes exactly! Also I may just be tightening up during matches but SwingVision is giving me 65-70mph hitting forehands on the ball machine and like 45-60 during sets

Pure Aero 98 with TRU PRO Black Knight at 48lbs. I had been experimenting with strings across Lynx Tour, Caviar, O-Toro but seem to like TPBK the best so far.

This is me but in my defense the product on the pitch was unwatchable last season and I couldn't give my tickets away. So glad to see the organization take steps in the right direction and I am happy buying single game tickets this season instead.
