The plastic parts (grommets and bumper guard) deteriorate as well as suffering damage from use. Some rackets eg Prince also have rubber parts which degrade. Replacement plastic and rubber arts are very rarely available for rackets more than about 5 years old. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Planning to purchase the yonex ezone 100L
What string would be good with it? slightly confused.
| r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
Buy the 100, not the 100L. Then just put any synthetic gut at 55#. Prince Duraflex is great. Kirschbaum Synthetic Gut is very inexpensive as well. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
What's your favorite string currently? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
If you are a beginner (which it sounds like), then any synthetic gut will do. It's an inexpensive all around string that can be played with until you break it. If cost is no concern, you can upgrade to a multifilament. Multifilaments are softer and feel better to play, but may not be as durable and cost more $.

After playing football my whole life I started playing tennis with my friend. We play every day and love getting better each time. Been using my fathers racket which he purchased like 10-15 years ago. Its good but i really want my own one. Which do you guys recommend?
Can be any price. | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
I’m in the exact same boat. I played tennis a tiny bit growing up but majority football and golf. I have since stopped both and tennis is now my mates and I’s favourite sport. All of us have terrible rackets from years ago lol | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |

Do you have a local tennis shop local to you? If so go in there and ask about if they do racket demos if they do ask the sales person what rackets they’d recommend for a beginner who is really into tennis and wants to improve. From there pick the one you like best. Don’t recommend picking based on looks. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Head Instinct MP solid racket and this is coming from a fellow football, baseball, and track guy who considers himself more of an athlete with a racket in his hand than a tennis player. I’m more stiff than most tennis players. You may not be tho! Goodluck with your search and have fun! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

Go with a 100 square inch racquet. I really love the babolat pure drive.
Others I tried recently and liked
-Wilson clash v2- felt soft and simple

Yonex ezone. Full of power and arm friendly. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Just a note this is right option for the best value, those will be effectively the same as the latest models — if you want a more informed choice and really don't mind paying see if there's a shop that does demos, usually they'll let you try a bunch of racquets for 'free' as long as you buy one in the end | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Another option if you really like your dads racquet see if they still make the model & buy a second hand newer one | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
I demoed lot of rackets and Pure Drive Team felt the best to me as a beginner when I was still learning. I am 3.0 now and still using the same racket. Definitely feels like the better choice for me or any beginner as compared to the heavier regular variant. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Try both the lighter and regular versions of Babolat Pure Drive, Yonex Ezone 100, Wilson Blade & Clash 100 and maybe Head Speed. With a lighter racket you might benefit more while developing the right technique, it’s easier to whip it. I was also overhitting with the heavier variants as I was lacking control and they h... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Nah its not very good but does the job. The biggest problem for me that the grip is way to big for me. Is it really important to demo a racket or can I just by the Speed or Blade and be satisfied either way. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

I struggle with controlling the amount of power I'm putting out if I keep my arm straight, if that makes sense? So I bend it to soften the blow... If anyone has advice for that, that would be great. My elbow was kinda sore after this wall sesh so I should probably fix it 😕 | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
Don’t worry about over-hitting when you’re trying to hit with a straighter and looser arm. Once you introduce a little more low to high and increase spin, you’ll be able to let your stroke out and the ball will stay in the court. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-12-07 |
You’re using your arm to generate power. The power should be coming from shoulder rotation. Let the arm become loose and let the wrist relax. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Really good work for a month and a half! I think you need to get your right hip rotating into the shot, right now the upper body is getting ahead of the lower body and you're ending up still quite sideways after the shot. You need to square your hips forwards so that your right foot has to go up on tiptoes, or even mov... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Let the ball bounce twice against a wall. Back up a bit.
Focus on your off-hand. Watch some forehand instructional videos to see what to do with it. It should not be dropping by your side. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Looking really good! I hate to say it, but if you are loving tennis, I'd suggest a new racquet. Looks like you've got a metal one with a seperate bridge piece.

If you are just starting out, I wouldn't suggest playing with a wall. The ball comes back at you too fast for you to properly learn the mechanics of a stroke. This is why your arm is bent. The ball comes back too fast and too directly at you, and you do not possess the footwork to space out properly yet, so bending you... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Use the left arm to take the racket back. Put the left hand on the throat of the racket and then turn. That will cause you to naturally rotate | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
False the wall is great. She should be using green dot balls instead of regular for half of the sesh and regular balls for the other half of the sesh | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Adding on to this, you can self feed and hit it into the wall. Do this repeatedly. This way you don’t have to pick up balls. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

So your backhand here is something i would like to have lol, but your forehand has a couple flaws. A couple things you could try to get it some more power are:
A. turn your left shoulder when you swing, to make sure you are using your upper body
B. keep your arm almost locked, you want your power to be from your hips... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

Bend your knees and generate power from the legs and the hip rotation. You are hitting the ball too close to your body. It feels wierd at first but you are supposed to hit the ball much more in front of you with your arm fully extended. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Just as a start, your hand is way too far up the grip. The very bottom fleshy part of your hand should be hanging off the edge of the grip | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Bent arm is not necessarily a bad thing, Jack Sock is an example of a forehand with a bent arm.
The main think I see is that you're "pushing" the racquet instead of "pulling" it. When your backswing is all the way back, pull the racquet forward by the handle and let it head swing around. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

For someone who just started playing tennis 1.5 months ago, your backhand is something else! Keep working on your forehand side, but that backhand may well end up being a big weapon for you. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Having a bent arm is not wrong. If you have a coach and he says you need to hit with a straight arm, you should probably get a different coach. Certainly much to improve on your forehand but the bent arm isn't the problem. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
month and a half?!?!? that aint bad at all, ive seen much worse from people who've played longer. backhand looks modern, natural and smooth. forehand is very old school looking though but tbh, it could work - it really depends on what you want eventually out of it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-15-07 |

Say I wanted to host a fantasy "grass" or "clay" court match/tournament but all I have access to is hard courts.
What would be some suggestions that might make this possible? Playing with different age level balls? | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Maybe use high altitude balls to simulate clay? They're a bit bigger than regular balls so they'll fly a bit slower in the air.
Try wetting some regular duty balls for grass to get that lower bounce and less fluffing.
It's really not going to happen without actually using a real surface. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
you can speed up a hard court by wearing down the paint, or maybe a touch wet. Clay, you can't. You can add a lot of sand when you resurface the courts, but it's so sticky you can't slide. I don't think you'll be able to do this task. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
> Say I wanted to host a fantasy "grass" or "clay" court match/tournament but all I have access to is hard courts.
This seems like a lost cause in terms of making a hard court feel like grass or clay.

That or you can just tape them on temporarily. The ones I got had enough adhesive that I was able to move them around a couple times before finding the perfect place.

From my experience placing lead tape on the 12 o'clock position as a first step is generally always a bad idea. It's a drastic change that significantly impacts swing weight and balance.
I suggest watching this: [https://youtu.be/SJ8lBbiGfnw?si=uiMkeUFnuafYci6p](https://youtu.be/SJ8lBbiGfnw?si=uiMkeUFnuafYci6p) | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

Adding weight to the head, especially at 12 o'clock is going to impact balance. If you watch the vid you'll see there is a better and more flexible way to add weight to the handle. Why are you concerned about not impacting twist weight? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

I often like going with 2-4g at the 12 and a leather grip on the handle depending on the frame I’m customizing then go from there.

Tape isn't going to ruin a racquet. Put it on wherever you want. If you're not going to be willing to test it in a few different places you're guessing at best and likely going to end up with a feel you don't like as much as if you were willing to try different configurations. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
