Hey guys I’m a 3.0-3.5 player who spend most of my time at the baseline. I’ve been using xone biphase 16 @ 52lb for the past two months and both of them didn’t last for one month.
I play around 3-4x per week.
My wallet is screaming so I’m wondering if there are any poly alternatives or hybrid multis that can extend... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Tecnifibre triax maybe | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
There's no such thing as a poly that's easy on your arm relative to x1 biphase and you'd be looking at playing with dead strings at that point which is even worse for your arm. You're also not at a level where you would benefit at all from the lower power of poly anyway.
I recommend hybriding the X1 with Isospeed Con... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
What about lux 4g main and xone cross? Also with isospeed should I do it at 52lb again? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Not sure what you think you'd gain with lux 4g. It's one of the stiffest strings on the market. But by all means go ahead and try it if you want. You will probably learn better with first hand experience than simply reading advice. Stringing Isospeed the same tension is fine. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Oh so is it X1 main and Iso cross? Or the other way around | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Put Iso in the cross. It has a lot of friction so it keeps the mains from moving too much which is why the durability lasts so much longer. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Thanks! I think I’ll have to order them from tennis warehouse since I can’t find them on Amazon | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Hello, I use a Vcore 100 too and I play around 3 times a week.
I do a hybrid set up of Yonex PTP on the mains and Head Velocity on the cross. Both at 48 lbs.
I tend to get around 3 months of playing before my shots are flying abit out of control. My arm doesn’t ache unless I play against heavy hitters. When I used ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Buy a stringing machine. You play enough to warrant it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
I’ve been playing tennis for around 3 years and I’m starting to take it more seriously now.
First my problem was too much spin into the net so I started hitting through the ball more.
My coach now told me I have to start hitting more topspin and should me the technique and I’ve been trying to practice it but it’s l... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
The racquet isn't dropping much, so the swing path is quite linear, ergo no topspin. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
If you’re looking for both hitting through the ball AND top spin, I suggest hitting in a L-shape — you go through the ball first, then you kind of do a wave when your arm is extended to brush the ball up (does this make sense) . I call it the “stop sign” cause it’s like you’re making a stop sign with your palm as you f... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Much of the topspin comes from the racquet drop at the beginning of the acceleration phase. The angle the racquet makes to the ground is about 45 degrees. As the racquet accelerates towards the contact point, the head of the racquet naturally rotates toward the horizontal (and beyond), which in your case is a clockwise... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
it looks okay honesty. release some tension on your arm and try to get full extension each time | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
I just started to play tennis more often, 2 times a week. Last 2 years I played in summer time probably 3 times a month, with a broken racquet. Now I am looking for one, but don’t want to get beginner racquet, which are only available in my country, tenniswarehouse is not a option. This one Yonex used is selling for 11... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
It looks like a Yone Ezone DR 100.
It's a pretty good racket, just make sure it's in good condition and it's not one of the lighter models (less than 299 grams unstrung). | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Looks like one of the late Ezone DR models. The 98 and 100 have a cult status all the other models not so much. I can’t tell which model it is. That said any racket that’s not broken will work for a beginner or intermediate. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
My 2017 Vcore 2or3 gen looks like this so based off the other comments (2017) Ezone DR | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

Your camera picks up sound well, but I wish you guys were rallying with a bit more intensity to better bring out the pop in your shots | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
There's really nothing quite like the sound of strings on the ball when you make clean contact. So satisfying. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

I am honestly not trying to brag but share a moment. I was near my peak at tennis over a decade ago and playing against a very skilled friend. We were in an intense, hard-hitting rally and I hit an overhead with my Prestige midplus extended length that made the loudest gun-shot sound. It was so loud that all the courts... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
I would argue badminton sounds fine too, squeaky courts, the sound shuttlecock makes when hit a powerful smash or a drop.
Pickleball is the worst sounding.
I play all of these games. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

Why is this a shitpost? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
I think tennis WAS a great sounding sport. But poly strings make an awful sound. I have a racquet with "sound grommets" and the ping is maddening. My bad for not noticing it.
But I'm old and started on wood, then moved to a modern frames well before poly. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

There are a few reasons I still massively prefer tennis to pickleball and sound is one of them. Pickleball sounds so awful. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

I actually like swish sound when you make a clean shot in an indoor basketball court. Another is the sound of ice skates or roller blades in hockey when a player zooms by or even stops on a dime. A proper slapshot in an empty ice hockey arena also sounds amazing since it echoes beautifully. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

If you have the time go watch old hardcourt Agassi matches from like the early 2000’s. Think like masters events like Indian Wells, Canada…The beautiful sounds coming off that man’s rackets straight up sounds like gunshots. It’s fucking awesome. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

Agassi is what got me into tennis when I was old enough to be aware of what I was seeing.

I actually took a wide rubber band off the broccoli and weaved it between the mains when I restrung and it REALLY got the ping out. Not too many people have that luxury. Was a fun experiment though.

I’m just a middle aged 3.5 doubles club player. I had some medical treatment that has taken me out of play for several weeks on several occasions. Frustrating, but I’m cool.

Hello everyone,
I've started playing tennis 10 months ago, my technique is still developing. I am a person who is very paranoid about injuries so I am looking to buy a racket which is easy on my elbow and wrist. I've had wrist and elbow pain before. So let me summarize my history.
Started playing with Blade 100 300 wit... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Babolat is out of the question. Almost none of the racket from Babolat will be good for you elbow/wrist. You might end up worse. Yonex, Tecnifibre, and Wilson are good options. Maybe a Wilson clash might be the best option for arm health other than working out and having better technique. If you buy any used rackets re... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Maybe try the Ezone which is quite popular here, it’s one of the most arm friendly rackets I’ve ever tried. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Wilson clash is the go to arm friendly racquet | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
It's interesting to me that some folks like the Ezone 100 for comfort around here. I'm dealing with golfer's elbow and bought one to try (strung with NRG in the low 50s) and it causes more pain for me than the Ezone 98 or Vcore 98. Maybe it has something to do with the weight.
OP: FWIW, I found the Clash to be by f... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Interestingly enough, i also had the exact same issues with your exact racquet! The problem is i really liked the blade 100 so what i did was get a 100UL version. It’s about 45g lighter and solved the issues mostly. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
As others have mentioned, Clash is going to the be most arm friendly. Speed and CX lines are also arm friendly. And yeah, stop putting poly in your racquets. Poly is only actually designed for advanced players, not beginners. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
I'm new to tennis also. This is my second year playing and I had arm pain last fall from Poly Strings on an old Princeton Raquet This spring I demoed a bunch of raquets from our local tennis shop and the most arm friendly for me was the Yonex Ezone with Yonex Dynawire Multiwire strings.

Difference in what, sweet spot? God yes | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Really that noticeable? I started off learning with a smaller head size and struggled to find a right modern racquet, and figured their heads may be a little big | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
98 vs 100 is a big enough difference that even recreational players can notice it. 88 vs 98 is a massive difference. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Many will tell you that 10 inches is quite large and the bigger the size the better it hits the sweet spot | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

There are a couple of videos on youtube of karue sell (atp player/youtuber) destroying a 4.5ntrp guy with a 37inch racket. Think 10 makes a pretty big difference but prob won’t completely stop you from playing good tennis | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Came to say this. I grew up with a 100 in stick. As an adult, I switched to a 98 for a bit more control and maneuverability. It took me ages to start hitting it in the middle of the strings. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

I would lean towards saying you should play with the gender you identify with. I think it’s wise to call ahead if you want to see what the rules are, but overall it’s a recreational sport and I think you’re valid in playing against other women. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Do you have access to any mixed leagues? I'm in the UK and play in a casual mixed league on the Spin app and everyone seems to be welcome.

A suggestion I have is maybe you should start with finding some hitting partners that you are comfortable with. A lot of cities have meetup groups where they get together and play casual matches.

As long as you don’t self rate too low I wouldn’t think it would be an issue. If you’re worried just try and play up a bit and risk getting your butt kicked. Almost nobody will care if you’re a fun competitive match but if you are crushing your competition consistently I’d imagine it would open you up to scrutiny | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

Join a women’s or mixed league. If you feel uncomfortable like people might assume you have an unfair advantage, just rank yourself higher for your first season.
