If you can hit good topspin that's the best way to fight it. You'll get extra topspin since the ball is spinning the same way.
Also agree with other commenters on coming to the net if you can, and also bending your knees and staying extra low to hit up on ball. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
also like did you read the op at all, the part where he says its low and skimming the net? you think this is exaggerated characterization? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Lmao I’m done with you. Stay in your lane | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Do you coddle your students as badly as you're begging me to coddle you now? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
No there is also the variety that is good at every basic tennis talent (like athletics, visual capabilities, touch, etc) but never learned how to hit a groundstroke and those players are the ones that tend to hit slices like the OP describes. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Don't get in arguments with all the 3.0-4.0s here just let em spend their whole lives at the same level lol | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
How often have you seen someone get passed with a slice? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Please keep all posts respectful and civil. Repeat violations can result in a ban. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
The advise of coning to the net is too simplistic. Most 3.5-4.0 players are terrible at the net. After missing a couple of volleys or overheads they shy away from coming in. If anything attacking the net will mean a quicker loss. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Pretty good! The uppers are solid and the soles are holding up. For the price it’s a great vaule | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Awesome I’ll look into it, I’m seeing that their customer service is terrible but they’re available on Amazon at the same price | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Yeah I got mine on Amazon as well | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I believe these are just rebranded Wilson Titanium. These have almost no felt on them and are harder than a rock. You are better off with Penn Championship from Costco or Wilson Championship (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wilson-Championship-Extra-Duty-XD-Tennis-Ball-20-Can-Pack-60-Balls/55206712) | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Opted for the Costco box in store since it’s cheaper anyway. Balls are so expensive these days. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
Ufff, fair enough brother. That makes sense, but it does feel bad. I don’t want to retire it 😅 | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Don’t retire it. Keep using it if it still works for you. I’m just suggesting another one if you really want to have one that’s in better cosmetic condition. And then use that one as a backup, like when the strings break on the original and you haven’t had time to restring it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
I’m moving much faster to save the phone than when I’m playing lol | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Camera was best get of them all! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I think you have a good sense of what the swing path should be. But the way you’re doing it is all arm. Try to incorporate and get used to your off-arm to help include your torso rotation. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Thanks so much for the detailed response on this!
Most of the comments (including yours) have highlighted that I am arming the ball. I am going to slow down the ball machine speed and actually try and go through the proper forehand routine (split-step, rotate and uncoil). I hope that If I do that right, I will improve... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Pretty good technically sound swing I like how you always finish your stroke above your shoulder. You need to load more and drive with your hips watch pros in slow motion right when they start accelerating the right shoulder is leading and the hip follows and the racket is third | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
For sure, I hope this helps a bit. And good on you for filming and putting yourself out there on the internet for open critique. That's not easy to do 🤝 | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Yeah I think it’s the opposite too. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
You can jog and do other cardio to stay in shape but you will be rusty when you get back, the only way to avoid that is to play while your on vacation. But I wouldn’t wouldn’t worry about the tournament 2 weeks is more than enough to get back to your normal level after a month. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
biggest things are go for runs, lunges squats, do some core exercises, stretching yoga whatever, and make sure you keep your calluses. The biggest problem i have about taking more than a month off is i develop blisters when i play again and 2 weeks isnt enough time to redevelop and heal blisters.
When you get back, ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Find people to play with where you are traveling because its really not that hard but also as the top comment says taking that break can be hugely beneficial for advancing your mental understanding of the game a level or two. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Look - it’s important to ask who is the best of the big 3 over and over and over. This is where r/tennis shines. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Same! I only found this sub when I posted on /r/tennis about a racquet / string issue and somebody redirected me.
This is what I mean about "user friendly" name, it does not popup when you search for "tennis". | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Holger would like a word over the big 3 trademark. Apparently. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Except there’s no asking. Just stating your claim and having your fellow fanboys downvote and ridicule anyone who disagrees. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I like that they are separate subs. I don’t join r/tennis because I like to avoid spoilers when the tournaments aren’t at a convenient time to watch, but I still like to see r/10s on my main feed. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
That is absolutely how it is spelled! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
This is what kills me - the better player wins the match - even if the other players technique is awful, they won. The point is winning and the purpose of technique is that theoretically it yields better results.
I am a 3.5 in clinics and point plays but lose to befinners(!) in matches allllll the time. I have no men... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Using the wind to your advantage is gold.
My coach told me the match starts before the first serve, when you asses the wind and figure out what you need to do to adjust to it | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Of course you are, you lost because of the wind | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Yes that’s good advice from your coach.
I tell all the players I work with that the match begins in the dynamic warm up before your pre-match warm up, where you assess the environment & your energy level. In tournaments it’s even earlier than that - bc in many cases there are scouting opportunities for the next roun... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Insightful. Comments like yours is why I read this sub | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Growing up, the wind served as a motivator for me. Bc it was clear to use the wind to my advantage, there were moments where hitting more topspin on my BH would’ve perhaps helped me win a match or 2 that I lost. Same for a higher bouncing kick serve, flattening out my FH, developing a better sense of when to slice, wh... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

You can't be a pussy about this, sorry. That is your fault. He shouldn't cheat but if you know for sure they're hitting the line and have a clear logical reason to support it then it is your obligation to say something. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
cant say this without qualification when there is cheating going on | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
There are bad calls in all matches. You're not required to just take it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Yes but I don't consider the metagame of hooking back to be a real measure of tennis skill. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I think you lost a match to a superior opponent. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
A few bad line calls isn't going to make a difference playing against someone you are actually better than. The score indicates you are the same level. Tennis isn't about who has the prettiest looking strokes but rather who hits the ball in the court more often. There are lots of different playing styles and ways to wi... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Agreed, but I've played against people who argued lots of calls - and I'm generous on line calls.
Only losers complain about the line calls and wind costing them the match. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Keep doing what you’re doing. Just hit it into one of the cracks on the other side and it should be an ace every time | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
The biggest problem is that your entire body is moving to the right while you are serving to the left. As you toss, push your hips in the direction of the shot (it probably means you have to toss further in front). Then keep your right leg behind the left at all times, hope, rotate only the upper body, land on your lef... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
1. Grip is ok.
2. if you have shoulder issue, keep the racket above your head the entire time. do not let it drop, so you do not have to lift it.
3. It is not very important if you jump, but do not rotate around your left leg. Your right leg should never move around, it should stay behind. You want your lower body m... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
You’ve got a good start here and since you say your shoulder is recovering you could focus on your feet for now.
Solid base and knee bend - you’re standing almost straight up and with your feet far apart. You’ll get more out of the serve if you do a knee bend that will allow you to jump into the ball more. Also you’l... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Tossing arm needs to stay up longer. Try bringing your left hand to your right hip at the end and finish in an X with your right arm over left.
Grip and motion aren't bad especially if you have mobility issues. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Thank you! I’ll work on all of those thanks | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Never thought of that. Will work on it thanks! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Yeah, I don’t bend enough for sure, I tried doing the pinpoint and it was just another thing for me to think about. I do want to incorporate it at some point. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

Can you explain #2?
Do you mean start the racket position in the trophy position? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Two things
One you have waiter tray which will reduce the speed of your serve, you don’t want your racket to go up facing the ground.
Second your non-serving arm is probably hurting your balance with how you swing it down before you swing the racket, try holding it until you start the acceleration, this will improv... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Even before that. Right now you bounce the ball, then grab it, and go down with your racket, then up. Instead, when you grab the ball with your left hand, just raise immediately the right hand, so that the hand is above the elbow, and the racket head is above the hand. The elbow itself does not have to be high. And kee... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
This is what I picked up from your serve or what could address possibly.

2)toss higher & hit at the sweet spot of when it's paused in the air(this comes with practice),

I’ll keep these in mind thanks | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

Don’t square your chest to the net at Contacts’s. Do that at the finish when your racquet reaches your left hip. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Not sure I agree with the advice to toss higher. It would be good to hit the ball higher, which might necessitate changing your rhythm and timing a bit. If that requires tossing the ball high, maybe it's worth it. But if you toss higher, the ball will be traveling downward at a faster speed when it enters your hit zone... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |

Prince premier control | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
My wife uses an ezone 100L and has head velocity in the mains with Yonex poly tour pro in the crosses, both at 48. Works pretty well for her, quite a decent bit of power with a little bit of control. I had in mind to swap the velocity for technifibre xOne biphase if she needed even more power but wasn’t necessary. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
xOne is what I’m using for my vcore I didn’t think she needed more power since the exonerated is more of a power racquet how does she like it? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Really likes it, this is totally a keeper and she now focuses on her technique without distractions. Power at the baseline used to be a real gap for her and she was veering towards a moon ball/pusher game but she’s now building her regular ground strokes and some topspin. I actually tried it myself in a head prestige t... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Depends, it’s hard to saw without a video of your serve I would say work on adding spin and power. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Whats your level?
At the lower levels placement (wide, down the T, body) and then spin (slice serves) would be your next focus. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

Oh stop being so sensitive. We need all spices in life | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Yeah similar in average speed but far less spin and movement on the ball. Much easier to handle compared to an ATP ball of the same speed | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Okay Stefanos… | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
