I would learn the Wilson Pro Knot before doing the Parnell, you can mess up the Parnell easily and your knot will come apart. The double half hitch is also a good easy knot. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

A good starting clamp is a life saver in many situations, including needing a bridge. My advice, don’t buy a cheapo Chinese crap one - spend the extra thirty bucks and get a name brand one like tourna | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Double parnell bro | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
I didn’t even think of that but maybe that’s what I should do. Parnell once then twice probably would have saved this from happening, wouldn’t it?
May as well learn the best knot to use and use it everywhere. Parnell at all spots? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
You can do 4 parnell knots if you have a starting clamp. It's the only knot you really ever need.

Can I do 4 parnells if I don’t have a starting clamp?
Thanks for the video! I’ll watch. As I mentioned this is all new to me so I don’t know where the good resources are. Appreciate you pointing me in the right way.
I’ll review , I want to get better | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
I suppose you don't need a starting clamp. You can start your crosses using fixed clamp on the 2nd cross and tension the 1st main using parnell as a finishing knot. Then continue the rest of the crosses as usual. Though traditionally you'd start crosses with a starting knot or starting clamp. It's not recommended to us... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
I just started stringing myself and I’ve been using double knots (basically what you have holding on still here but done twice) for everything except the starting crosses knot, which I use a Parnell knot for. It’s rock solid so far, I learned that technique from a YouTuber who’s been stringing for years. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Get a decent starting clamp like one of those alpha or gamma ones that everyone is talking about. It makes tying knots tighter. Good for starting mains and crosses. And it saves your ass when you run into problems like being short on string when you don't have enough string to reach and tension the string. This could j... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
If you don't have a starting clamp, I'd do a bulkier starting knot for starting the crosses. I use parnell knots for the other 3 and never had one come undone. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Most stringers have been there.
My challenge is Gamma syn guts, especially on Bab & Dunlop racquets.

Tennis may not be for her tbh. It will take time before you can rally from the baseline without prior racket sports experience
Also did she just watch “challengers” or something? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

You are overthinking this and will suck the joy out of it by putting expectations on how your first hitting sessiom will go.
If you must know something, just go out and use a continental grip for both forehands and backhands then learn to just hit the ball to each other.
Play at the service box line, otherwise most ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

Considering that both of you lack experience in tennis, the rally from the baseline is out of the question for the first day. I would stick it to the mini tennis from the service line.

Personally I found it nice to just start by having fun kinda randomly hitting the ball over and chasing them down.

Yup, you must ALWAYS keep both eyes on the ball, all the time. Especially when hitting it.
This is very counterintuitive, as in most sports you’re supposed to look at where you want the ball to go. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
I saw two kids learning tennis where one was hitting balls with a racket and the other was swinging a bug catching net.
I always thought this seemed like a good idea for learners.
Probably not right for you though. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

A 101 class could be helpful just to get the basics then go from there. Most places that give lessons will have, assuming there's something nearby.

I would recommend mini tennis to start, basically just dink the balls around in the squares at the net. A lot of beginners spray the balls off the court from the baseline and end up losing interest because they are running around picking up balls rather than actually playing tennis. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Try and hit the ball to each other, start off small at the service line trying to softly hit the ball back and forth to each other before moving back to the baseline. Also call a coach and get a private lesson for the two of you. Technique is something that you have to learn. Athleticism will speed up the process of le... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

Split a private lesson. If you think drills are on the table then you will definitely get frustrated.

Don't expect to play well AT ALL. It's tough enough for a beginner to enjoy tennis with an experienced player feeding them shots. TWO beginners means that most of the session might be chasing and picking up tennis balls instead of actual hitting.

This was literally us like a month ago so my advice is do a lesson immediately bc the first thing I did was fuck my shoulder up by serving wrong and it’s only just now better. When we took a lesson the coach fixed it but I had already hurt myself | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
Playing in my first tennis tournament this weekend. Do you recommend a soft sided cooler with a shoulder strap or rolling cooler? Shoulder strap cooler will be easier to carry between matches but the rolling cooler has more space. Not sure if I can even bring a rolling cooler onto the court. It’s medium size.

Thanks. Should I work on one before the other? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
No, your serve is all one motion. Practice it together. More of a knee bend as you toss. You can practice that without a ball and racquet first. As you go down, rotate your back a bit more towards your opponent in the trophy position. Uncoil as you come up to hit the ball at the top of the toss | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Will do! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Yeah man, you don't have a horrible service motion. You might want to try switching to a platform stance with your feet. Stand with your feet about shoulder width and parallel with each other and don't move your back foot on your serve. It may help you get more power from both legs. Right now you are pushing off mo... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Way more shoulder and hip rotation will help. You're also hitting the serve with spin, which takes a lot of speed away. Learn how to hit the flat serve. Any one imo can hit a 130km serve if they're half decent at overarm throwing. Do some practise swings where you step forward with your left foot and imagine your throw... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
If you're working from swingvision remember this is average speed not incident.

reasonings:
head size. give yourself some margin for error. bigger head = bigger sweet spot.
16x19 pattern is popular, so you will easily find a used model in nice condition. It is also considered an “open” pattern, which will allow for more spin and power vs. something like 18x20

It does not (oversized and under-weight) but totally fine to learn with. Once you feel comfortable with groundstrokes and start receiving heavier balls from opponents, you’ll want something heavier than 275g. The extra weight of a 300g racquet makes a considerable difference. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
