The people defending pickelball are probably horrible at tennis lol. Couldn't hand the intensity so they went to something more calm. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
It's already had too much attention. It's like yoyo or hoolahoop. Lets be patient and the youth will get bored and forget about it soon. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-15-07 |

I'm not sure this is where I should be, but........I'm 77 yrs old, was a 4.0 player. I played with a Yonex RD-7 frame (95, 340g strung) for 30+ years. I was told by stringer friend that I needed a new racquet, and ended up with a VcorePro97, 356g strung. Always played with Technifiber multi 65/63, new racquet poly Y... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
What I noticed with modern racquets is they are not that suitable for the old school heavier stringjobs, i would say pick a stick that improves your weaker shots while your better shots don’t turn worseo | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
You can try demoing the Ezone 98. It’s quite maneuverable and should give you easier power. It weighs 305g unstrung I believe, so not light but not too heavy either. Personally I’m hitting the best forehands ever with this frame, and it is widely recognized as one of the best (if not the best) serving racquets in the m... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I am 74, similar level. I tried a poly after years of X-one biphase. Hated it. String change would be the least disruptive test, IMO, before you switch racquets. Also, head heavy vs light will have a big impact. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
My suggestion is to demo a range of racquets to get a feel for the specs you want. Everybody has different preferences and different perceptions of how a racquet is. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
You’re a 77yo player and that is awesome. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Put your old choice of strings in the new frame before you think about getting a whole new racket. If your game developed around multis and you're very comfortable with them, polys will probably feel crappy regardless of the racket. They're low-powered and stiff by design.
You could even try a stiffer multi at some ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
77?! Respect! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
VCORE 95 still exists and the head prestige. You could give them a shot and put your string in it and see | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Pro staff these days are similar to old school and more forgiving.
You could also just force your self to adapt to a 98-100 like the blade and add right in the handle. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

Re: pics one and two
The frame looks quite compromised. The damage does not look severe enough to prohibit play, and it even looks like it might be able to be restrung—maybe. You will know once you cut out the existing strings. The frame's structure could quickly warp and/or break further once all the tension is re... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
May be fine for casual play, but may not be good for a hard hitter. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
What are you afraid will happen? That it’ll break? It’s already broken, so you’d just be finishing it off.
Pic 1-3 look structural, 4 and 5 are pain scratches/chips. So yea, go hit with it until the strings give out and then toss it because you’re not likely to find anyone willing to restring it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
So I got a 13in balance racquet strung at over 50lbs and it is supposedly 4pts head light but now after stringing it feels very balanced and feels maybe just a tad point head light, even with overgrip
I would be looking to increase swingweight and I was looking to add a leather grip just for the balance to be more hea... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

Ugly racquet to start with, clashes with the obnoxious strings, and then a light blue tournagrip that matches nothing for good measure.
Plays incredibly though, so sticking with it. | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I can’t do the blue grips! Pop a white grip on there and that’s a beauty | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Tournagrip forever! The least negotiable part of this whole setup.
But I agree the blue grip is an eyesore. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
If you add enough colors on there it looks intentional. Throw on a red dampener for good measure | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Enjoy your elbow while it lasts | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
More a comment on the racquet or the strings?
It’s Hyper G Soft at 50 lbs, has been a lot more arm friendly than other polys I’ve tried. I also used the Pure Control Tour GT previously, so this honestly feels more forgiving. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
The only thing wrong with it is the grip IMO | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I mean you have like four color choices for the grip and went with a fifth one lol | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
half-jokingly on a racquet since Babolats are known to be harsh for many, including me.
That said i hope it will serve you well. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I use a pure aero, and I paid a fair amount to get them all blacked out. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I play Aero with some lead and strings on 26 kgs, and i’m not surprised that even Alcaraz is using arm sleeve with these beauty | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
if you had both grip and string in either white or black, it wouldn’t look so bad. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
pretty sure tourna grip only comes in the light blue | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Tournagrip is quietly the most divisive equipment piece in tennis. Everyone has an strong opinion on them. For me, they're the worst grips that have ever been made. Some people won't play without them. Highly controversial | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Not really, they only make the classic tournagrip in one color. If you have sweaty hands there is no other choice, even if it looks terrible. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I've heard this but never seen it first hand. I've played a Babolat since 2011 and never had issues. I've known only 3 people ever who have had elbow from tennis. 2 used Head and 1 used Yonex. I think it's a technique thing more than anything else | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Try YTEX Quadro Twist at 50 and let me know how it feels to not miss for an hour. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

I have a ton of Super Grap. It’s good, but more tacky than wicking. My hands don’t sweat except in extreme humidity, so I use Gamma tacky grip and it’s fantastic for the price. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Used a poly and had elbow issues. Switched to multi and they went away entirely. I was doing a lot of serve practice, but the strings were definitely a factor.
Probably going to try a few other polys and Multis though for fun, once I can commit the time | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Yea I can't speak to elbow pain at all other than I hope yours continue to stay away! I've never had any and I use a pretty stiff poly | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Alcaraz is that you?
Lol. Try white Wilson pro over grip. Or a black one. It’s not like you have to use tourna unless you’re just wedded to it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
He covered the whole frame with electrical tape. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
significantly better than hyper g? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
You love switching it out after every session?
I played with it for a few years back in the 2000s but it was just a money pit.
Pros get sent cases of it so it makes sense for them. Then again they rarely use anything more than once except an unstrung frame. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I hated white grips 20 years ago. Now I can’t play without white Wilson pro that I swap out every 10-20 hours. What a difference being an adult with money makes. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Yes most rec players get tennis elbow due to poor technique not the racket. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Completely agree, feels like no one is neutral on them. Either love them or hate them. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I’ve never heard of that, but like that it comes in black. Just when I think I’m settled now there’s something new to try. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I think the hyper g / aero combo actually kinda matches. Maybe try to get some red or pink strings I would hate that | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
For all intents and purposes the tournagrip and I are joined at the hip. I will never change that part.
I find myself wanting to hit disguised drop shots all the time now. Problem is that I suck at it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I would say I usually get 2-3 sessions out of each one. I’m in Colorado, so the arid climate probably helps there. I can see plowing through them in any sort of humidity. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I think for your tastes then the racket would look better with a black string, I’m sure whatever you have on it is available.
The problem here is the neon. It screams look-at-me. And so you keep looking at it. A black one would soften the appearance and just blend more with the racket and the tourna contrast. Anythin... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Sets are expensive but reels are cheap. See how you like it. I would add 10% tension to whatever you’d string a stiffer poly at. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Looks good to me | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
100% agree. I demoed 4 or 5 black strings but none of them compared to the Hyper G. And of course Hyper G only comes in neon green. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
The Rafa colors are just so much better | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Just don't get dark ink Wilson pro comforts, they suck | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
For myself, I lean into regular tournagrips in the middle of summer because I live in TN and the humidity makes the sweat pour. I've found that there is no better grip for sweaty hands.
The rest of the year though I use the opposite, tourna mega tac lol. The tackiest grip I've ever held. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Yea I live in SW Kentucky so the humidity will get ya. I just change after a set or 2 | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I think they also rip apart every match for the people that like them, or at least very quickly. They do for me as well, but I just regrip every time I play | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
You can also flip them over and get some use out of the reverse side for a couple sessions. Better than throwing the racquet accidentally | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I live in Charleston and have to regrip every time I play. Still worth it though because they're the only viable grip in the summer. 10 fifty cent grips is cheaper than launching my $250 racket into the ground on accident while serving | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Whenever I read about people having them rip, it makes me think about how my buddy bought one package that was extremely bad. Like cardboard. And it did rip after less than an hour.
On the other hand, I’ve never had this issue and the ones I buy usually feel softer. I wonder what that’s about! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Big fan of yonex overgrip. I used to avoid white grips due to how it accumulates dirt/grime. But now I see it as a visual indicator of when it is time to replace the overgrip. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
New dry grap is closer to tourna | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I love neon, but its alot of neon.......yeah add a white wilson overgrip and it'd be up my alley | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I see I'm not the only one who finds neon green strings objectionable. Seems to be a developing trend - I suspect it was initially because they stand out but now so many brands are doing it you can't tell whether it's hyper G or RPM yellow or whatever.

This is the way to go. Red dampener + red grip tape.
Changing the grip to white, as others have suggested, isn't going to work. Presumably the reason for using the blue Tourna in the first place is for its unique feel/sweat absorption. There aren't any white grips like that, to my knowledge. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Can’t. The shape alone and the paint is just over the top. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Megatac is oddly so slippery when sweaty though. It's odd. I love it as my hands don't get sweaty. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Love Yonex supergrap. Black seems less tacky and wears faster than any other color though. Is it just me? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I mean if you sweat enough, tourna is objectively the best | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
I use white gamma grips and caviar strings that are yellow. Looks really good. I'm trying to get away from that racket and focus on my speed MP and radical. The racket is just so easy to use | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
Excatly. Best grip I have ever used. The only other non negotiable other than my strings. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |

Did you see on TW the Wimbledon version of the Pure Drive? It's black silver and white, looks pretty slick. I wish they would bring different color combos to the pure aero 98 line, especially with their best endorsed player already having made semi finals, you'd think they would capitalize on it with new racket colors. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-11-07 |
He plays stock too which probably contributed to his issues. More of a wear and tear from his play style probably. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
What tape do you use at the top of the grip? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
Yeah, I just like white, I have tried the color ones initially and they bleed color | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
