How are you supposed to get better if you change the type of serve on the next one only because of a let? It’s a do-over - try it again!
The serve count and score affects my decision making more than a let ever would. After that I’m looking at how the receiver is set up and the real estate they’re absentmindedly gift... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
 | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
This. But also be aware of obvious tells.
Ball toss can be obvious unless the opponent isn’t that attuned to tennis. A toss for flat, slice, and kick are in different areas.
I at least can make a reasonable determination at the type of ball I’ll have to swing at. The location of the bounce is more of a variable but... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
You should definitely get another one. Minimum, if you don’t have it in you to learn three.
Flat and kick or flat and slice will help you tremendously over just any one.
But don’t let a “let” discourage you from trying anything again. It’s a do-over, get back on the horse if you want to be good at it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
I was just thinking this the other day. It’s really quite often that a let results in a double fault for some reason even though there’s an extra attempt/practice. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
What do you do when you run into the case of someone who has leveled up their serving game enough they can use the same toss for multiple shapes? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
They have no reason to expect you to change up the type of serve because what you could also change is how you hit the same serve. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
>When serving, I'll bounce the ball anywhere between 2-10 times,
Unless you can do this without thinking about it at all it's likely hurting you more than them. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Serve is what I'm the most comfortable with, as I've hit a bajillion so far. I'm only uncomfortable when I don't bounce it at all lol | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Then you have to learn how to read their entire serve motion. A tell is a tell because it’s a slight variation. IF the toss is exactly the same the racket motion and thus the entire movement of the body is not. Because it’s impossible to put the same spin on a kick and a flat, or hit them both the exact same way but an... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
If it’s a first serve, I try to hit a first serve again (toss in front of me)
If it’s a second serve, I try to hit a second serve again (toss behind me) | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
True, but that's pretty advanced technique and that's a lot to think about if you're not yet aware of how to mix up serves and serve positions yet. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
I mean that you can randomize the bounce count as a matter of subconscious emotion and intuition. I believe yes since it sounds like that is the situation that really gets you in the zone. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
If you can throw the same toss, then yes - just keep your tossing arm up longer | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
I go for a bigger body serve. If in doubt I body serve. It's just safer and If I go back most rec players will give a weak return anyway. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
Do both. Sometimes I go for the exact same serve and sometimes I mix it up.
If you only ever do one of them then your opponent will be able to predict where your serve is going. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
I do the same thing I do on every first serve; I look at the seconds on my watch, the first digit determines flat/kick/slice and the second digit determines T/body/wide. Pure randomness so the returner can never get an effective read, and I can’t overthink what serve to hit because it’s just determined for me. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
Happy when on the other side | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |

I have been playing “competitively” with friends and family for 2ish years now and was first exploring it during covid so 4 years in total.

Changing racquet has to be a well thought through decision. So be sure that changing it has an impact on your game because vcore is not a bad stick . Having said that both Wilson blade and Pro staff are great by themselves. I chose ezone over pro staff because I wanted a more arm friendly racquet . But I have played wi... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
There is allot of non-sense talked about rackets; like you must play with 98 square inches and above 300 grams, or you're not a proper player. What matters is what is comfortable for you. What will hinder your development, is playing with a racket just because of peer pressure.
Neither is a racket going to change you... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Just a beginner so take with a grain of salt, but if you have a pro club or PGA store close by, go do some 3 day racquet demos to see what fits best. I tried out 12 before finding my Goldilocks stick. (Unfortunately you’re at the mercy of whatever dead strings might be on it) | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
Intermediate player here, working on serve consistency and groundstrokes with a little bit of competition on the side.
I've got a Tecnifibre TFight 305RS at 23kg tension.
Pros:
* I love the brand
* My flat serves are superbly powerful when they work
* The racquet is solid at the net
Cons:

I’ve heard of shoulder pain during serves but elbow pain seems is new to me.
As far as it being heavy headed - I’m not familiar with the racket but it seems to have a swing weight of 333 which is definitely on the higher side. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

Yes. You get fit to play tennis, not the other way around. Otherwise you'll get sore and maybe even injured | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

Not sure what your general fitness level is currently. Long term, the others are correct about training your muscles. You’re having to use your legs to move you around the court.

I'd use the ultra specifically because you said it "feels much better." Light racquets are designed for beginners and you will want to switch to a heavier one when you improve. However, at this time your racquet really doesn't matter at all. Just pick one and try to use it. In any case, switching between racquets is no... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |

Super beginner here so I probably don’t know what im talking about. I play with a Babolat Pure Drive 100, and i swapped rackets for a single game with my partner who uses a Pure Aero.

Extreme MP + Pure Aero will likely be the most similar since they are the classic powerful, spin-oriented racquets. I think you'll quickly find whether you like that distinct Babolat "feel" vs Head.
The Speed MP is a great all-rounder and is a bit of jack of all trades. Another similar frame I highly recommend is the... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
I’m hoping I prefer the head ones cuz they are like $70 cheaper maybe $120 cheaper with the head demo code (idk if there is a similar babolat code or not). I’ve never been a big Wilson or prince fan, not that I have a ton of experience with them. Maybe because they remind me of gym class?
