a few things:\n\ndo you notice that the sound of "ping" when you hit a racket is different than what you're used to? that would mean that the tension is off.\n\nalso, you can move the cross strings with your fingers and look to see whether or not there are indentions in the string. that means that the stringer did not pay attention to whether he was burning the string when he pulled it through the racket. this can cause it to break prematurely.\n\nalso, if it for some reason breaks really fast and you don't hit the ball that hard or put a whole lot of spin on it then you probably got a bad stringing job.

First you must practice the ball toss. Before even using your racquet, just throw the ball up at about 1 o'clock in front of you. Make sure the toss is high and accurate and u point to it the whole time, with ur other hand held behind your head. \n    After doing this for a while, now take the hand that was behind your head and try and follow through and catch the ball.  \n    After doing this for a while, now pick up your racquet.\nGo against a high fence or wall and once again begin throwing the ball up while pointing to it. Try and follow through with your racquet and catch the ball againts this high fence or wall.\n    Now you are ready to start serving on the court. Use these same forms that you used practing the ball toss. Make sure you are following through every time and the face of your racquet is pointing at the box you are serving to. Practice serves from each side of the court. Hit them slow and steady for now, just making sure they get in for the next couple months.\n**Grip--- In order to get the correct grip, turn your racquet on its side so that the non-string side is facing up. Put your hand on the racquet so that it is directly in between your thumb and pointer finger. It may feel wierd for the first couple days but eventually you will get used to it, and it is the only effective way to hit a powerful or slice serve later on when you get good at serving.\n\nGOOD LUCK, These things all worked for me and now I'm one of the best servers on my school tennis team.

Prince O3 Silver Oversize tennis racquet packs plenty of power, dampened and comfortable feel at impact and with generous sweetspot is forgiving from all areas of the court. \nThe open string pattern makes it spin friendly and at net this racquet offers a nice blend of power, stability and forgiveness. \nIt is suited for players who wants power.... I prefer this racquet

If you have a coach with you, tell him to look at your form and see if he notices if you are doing anything wrong. Everybody will go through slumps every once in a while. to get out of it, just keep shooting and shooting and soon enough you will start to make shots again. the main thing is try not to worry about it, because if you think too much, you are more likely to do something wrong.

The quickest and easiest way to decide how often to restring your racquet: # times per week you play = # times per year you restring your racquet (evenly spaced out of course).

Just get your racket restrung once a year.  If you like the way your racket feels then it is good.  If you want more control   you want to string the racket  tight for more control.  65 lbs is considered tight on mosty rackets.

Maybe blood clots. Or something just as serious. Maybe just working out too much or over use? See your doc if it keeps up.

At contact during a topspin groundstroke I am much closer to flat than I am closed.  My main focus is more about solid contact than worrying about my racket angle.  The sound the ball makes coming off the strings will tell me immediately if the shot was properly executed.  I meet the ball opposite my leading hip on the forehand and about 6 to 12 inches in front of my leading hip on the backhand side.

I always liked my strings as tight as possible but really it depends on how you play the game. Here's the general grid:\n\nStandard: 50-60\nMidsize: 55-65\nOversize: 60-70\nSuper Oversize: 60-70

Luxilon Big Banger string has got to be the best string on the planet.\n\nThe string not only lasts far longer than every other string, and produces more power than nearly every other string but, more importantly, it produces far more spin than every other string. \n\nIn fact, Andre Agassi likes this string so much that he's been quoted on national TV as saying that it's added 2 more years to his tennis career.\n\nHowever, even with all these advantages, Luxilon Big Banger is a very brittle string that's got to be the most difficult of all to string. \n\nNow, while I admire your idea to string the cross strings with something other than Luxilon Big Banger, which would indeed make it somewhat easier to string, it defeats the purpose of using Luxilon string in the first place.\n\nSo, string ALL of your racquet, both main strings and cross strings, with Luxilon Big Banger, and smile while you do it. Indeed, the results are well worth the effort.

Forget about which racquet is the highest rated. The racquet is nothing. Proper technique is everything.\n\nGet a dozen demo racquets and play-test them. Buy the one that works best for you. Spend whatever money is left over on tennis lessons (private lessons are STRONGLY preferred). \n\nIf you can't afford private lessons, buy several instructional books and/or video tapes. This is surely the fastest way to improve.\n\nThe magic is not in the racquet.

I think that is amazing to do that. I sure have never done that and I think you deserve praise. What level of tennis players do you play against. The better the level, the more praise you should recieve. That might show you how much of a clutch player you really are and you deserve to feel good about yourself for this amazing feat.

Why certainly, darling, I'm a master of twisted laydowns, er, layouts.\n\nAll kidding aside, I admire what you do as it is a fantastic sport and only those such as yourself can avail themselves of the skills necessary to perform beautifully.\n\nWish I could help you further....

it depends on what you are comfortable with. because if your not confortable with a racket your games not going to be good... use something that your comfortable with and you will play good...  so no it dont really matter,,,
