Hey! So if you're a beginner (which depends on *how* beginner you are) I highly recommend not to get an oversize racquet like the Triad 3, since you're just going to outgrow it anyway and probably sell it. The point of an OS for beginners is the sell of a larger sweet spot and an easy pocket to hit balls. But sa a begi... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-30-07 |
I think the GT is not nearly as good as any of the original pre-2010 Cortex frame Babolat Aeropro's. You really might as well just shell out the 150 or so for a used one of those, if you can find one. I know a lot of people seem to sell the cortexes for much higher like 250-350, but they go for less. And aside from dif... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-30-07 |

A sign your grip might be too small is if you can still pick up the racquet with one hand, so yeah you definitely need to go bigger. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

I have those rubber grips that you can put on a pull-up bar to make the grip more difficult. I hate them so much that I "lose" them in my home gym so I can't convince myself to use them.
All I see here is pain, endless pain. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
A good rule of thumb is that the diameter of the grip should be equal to the ball you are gonna hit with it. So… yeah, too small! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

Question about obscure USTA adult NTRP tournament situation:

Can a private tennis association charge dues for exclusive access to a publicly-owned court?

4 months of access to a clay court for 100$ is a steal.
If they saved it from being torn down, and redid the court and it’s nice, it makes sense they charge 100$… clay courts are expensive. Tons of upkeep, and clay costs are annual. At least a ton of clay per season which is usually a couple thousand. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

There are many precedents for this sort of thing. The so-called public/private model is the main one. It's basically public courts managed by a private non-profit organization. The thinking is: money (beyond tax dollars) is required to maintain the courts *properly*, so you need (1) to charge fees, and (2) an organi... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

Some of those "public" clay courts are supported by your tax dollars, the rest is supported by that $100 fee.

I’d also bring a small cooler and have something to snack on personally. Something small like a Twix/Snickers, bananas, or some kind of protein bar.

Don’t eat all of it at one change over or anything either lol…ju... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
I'd definitely bring some Gatorade/electrolyte option. Some snacks maybe... nuts, cheese, and fruit or whatever you like. Some tennis balls to warm up with, a hat if it's sunny and you like hats. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

Good deal, I don’t know if it’s really hot and humid where you are, but it is where I am. I always bring 2-3 towels and a frog tog that you keep in your cooler to put on you when it’s hot. Just my recommendations lol! Goodluck and most importantly, have fun! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
Extra clothing. Sandals. I like to put on a dry shirt and let my feet air out between matches | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

Very true lol! Hence why I said take a bite here and there. The Snickers or Twix isn’t for everyone on court, but it sure helps me lol! Again, if you decide to go with that please take very small bites. Like AllDay said, banana, apples, or protein bars are preferred. Some tournaments may have bananas ready and availabl... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
Electrolyte drink (high in salt and sugar, with some potassium) is a must. You can buy them or just make your own concoction at home and bring it with you.
Snacks also will be a need, anything will work honestly, but go for something high in carbs.
Start hydrating tonight (ideally multiple days before).
