Awesome, appreciate it!! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |
I've had the proton for 2 months using an android without a problem until today when the phone wouldn't connect to the machine. Support at Hydrogen Sports say android made a change in the software making it not compatible! Unable to say when or if a "patch" will be available! Told me it's not the machine and I can use ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-27-07 |
That sounds like BS to me from them. I'd prod further to see what exactly Google changed because I highly doubt they did anything. I assume it's just a Bluetooth connection so there's nothing special about it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-29-07 |

Why do tennis coaches advise hitting the ball at its highest point? Given that a 5-foot player would have a different highest point than a 6-foot player, why is this advice still relevant? What mechanical factors actually determine the success of a serve? | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Try to think about this for a second. Why do you think a higher contact point would lead to more consistency given the constraints of a valid serve? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
The concept is to hit the ball before it starts to pick up too much speed on the way down from the toss. Leads to more consistency. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Its several reasons. One key reason no1 has mentioned is that by attcking the ball on the rise or high point your not creating a pause in your service motion. It should be fluid with a minimal time spent with the racket cranked back. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
The idea is to toss the ball such that you're hitting it at its apex (highest point) because at that point the ball isn't moving. It's way easier and more consistent to hit a ball that's at the apex than it is to time and aim a ball that's rapidly rising or failing from a very high or very low toss.
Obviously, the ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
So you have the highest angle for you personally to get the ball in and fullest power you can have. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
The advice to hit the ball at the highest point (actually just below the highest point) you can reach is based on accessing a broader angle of attack in relation to the service box. A higher contact point allows you to hit down on the ball more and access more of the service box for greater margin of error or steeper t... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Serves go in as a function of topspin and gravity. I disagree with people who say you hit down on the ball to get it in. Unless you’re extremely tall (like Isner at 6’10”), you aren’t hitting down on the ball. The idea of snapping your wrist is a popular swing thought and can be beneficial to some. In truth, you hit up... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
This advice is to make the toss less affected by the wind and easier to time.
Honestly it is a nice to have but it is not a must and several players this actually makes their serve worse because they take their time to start the motion or whatnot. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |
Hey all, I snagged this for 8 dollars at my local thrift store.
I know Head is a reputable brand and I saw Pro/Tour Series so I figured I’d just buy it!
Just wanted to gauge people who are smarter than me with Tennis equipment … is this a rare or cool find?
Is it a solid racquet to play with?
| r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
I mean it looks cool. I wish I could find some thrift rackets. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
It‘s a Head Pro Tour 280/630 from around 1993 or 1994. I have never played with it because it was released before i got into tennis, but from what i‘ve heard, this stick is seen as one of the greatest racquets of all time by some people. Also, it‘s from a time when Head produced their racquets in Austria instead of Chi... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Wow, greatest racket of all time? I’m very curious to see who feels this way!
I appreciate your response ✌️ | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
I think Head made a remake of these a few years back. Kinda limited edition style. A buddy of mine plays with them and absolutely loves them | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
It says "Designed in Austria" which suggests a different country of manufacture but even so it is a very nice frame still completely playable now. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
It’s true. This frame is one of the most loved on tour. Many players still use the same mold. It may not be a good racket for rec players, but it’s something you can be proud to own. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Afaik Head shifted the production vom Austria to China somewhere in the early-mid 2000s. This racquet should have been produced in Austria if i am not mistaken.
Source: am Austrian | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
I saw a comment on a TW thread that suggested there were two versions of this frame, one produced in Austria and the other in China, but maybe they were talking about a later model given the same name. Closed the thread and can't find it again now unfortunately. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
8 bucks is a steal in that condition | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Ahhhhhh I have this racket in my stash!!! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
This is made in china. It says in the frame in picture 3: “Designed in Austria”. The frames that was made ins Austrian says “Made in Austria”

You lucky bastard! Often referred to as the “holy grail” of tennis rackets, and what the PT57a (a very popular pro stock racket) is based on. Definitely restring and give it a hit, they’re decently heavy (12oz/340g strung) and very flexy (58) so they’re best for more advanced players. They sell for quite a bit on eBay... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
So is the one I have not as valuable due to this? I am guessing it is just do to quality control and obvious reasons | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
It’s not a high value frame anyway because it is not mint condition or have not been used by a pro.
But is it a very good frame that will sell for many X what you got it for. Just check eBay :)
It is a demanding frame so I rarely manage to play a tournament with it because of the weight. But god almighty how wonder... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Sweet, thanks for the reply! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
If the racquet is not broken, I suggest you buy lotto tickets. You are one lucky …….
I’ve played with that frame and that is what I would call s a pillow. It is a privilege to play with one, especially with the guts. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
You just pulled a legendary SSSR from a a bargain bin, might as well found a Wilson K90. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Bro this is such a come up for you. It is a GOAT racket candidate. This is a version of what made HEAD rackets insanely popular on tour. Amazing find. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

Switching from a Wilson six.one 95 16x18 (that I’ve used since 2015) to the new Prostaff 6.1 95 v14 18x20, and looking new string recommendations.
In my old 16x18, I used a 15 gauge multi by prince at 53ish lbs for the last 5 years. Before that I played with the K95 for 7 years with 17g Kevlar/16g syn hybrid. Before t... | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
maybe Prince Lightning Pro?
not exactly a multi but pretty soft and fairly spinny for a nylon | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Generally I’d recommend a thinner gauge and slightly lower tension. Both will raise the launch angle a bit and compensate for lower power. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |
Yea, I think I’m just going to start with 16 gauge NXT - between the lower thinkness and the softer touch, I think it will compensate nicely. If not, I’ll just restring and tinker 🤷 | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-15-07 |

104 mph serve💀💀 | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |
What's your estimate? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |
Other than pretty darn fast? No clue lol. Great serve tho! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |
Haha thanks. I used to be around 115-120mph first serve back in the day so the 104mph didn't seem very far off. Most serves from swingvision are in mid to high 90s and second serves in the high 70s. I know it's average ball speed instead of max, so it reads a bit lower than radar | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |
In swing vision, go into edit shot on your serve, and double check if the hit timing and bounce timing are on the right frame.
That’s what I do when I get an outlier serve and unfortunately it’s usually showing that fast because it thinks I contacted the ball way later than I actually did. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |
he just, like, stood there | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |

Bought a babolat frame secondhand. Had a replacement grip on it (not the original) and I just took it off intending to replace it.
Found some lead tape on the handle and was just wondering if this is babolat’s doing or perhaps the previous owner’s. | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
It will be the previous owner. Babolat would not weight their racquets that way. If it is new to you, try it without the lead. If you want to modify the weight in the future, you can with new lead tape. Have fun. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
If you can see the lead tape, it's the previous owner. Racquet manufacturers do add weight in the handle during the manufacturing process but it's not visible to the consumer. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Did you buy it from /u/TennCom | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

Haha, I was just making a joke about how TennCom made some videos a while ago that advocated for [putting handle weight under the base grip instead of inside the trap door.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJZMuGgtQVE&list=PLd-ky4VO2JU5R9saQeItV6K9pQ2zIqZur&index=3) | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

Hi there! Seems like a few people on here have the proton machine; I've picked one up and the create-your-own-drill features feel a bit overwhelming. Does anyone have good drills they've created that they'd be willing to share? | r/10s | post | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
I use a center ball wide ball drill on a 5 cycle loop. Focus on resetting behind the baseline after each shot and playing the center ball as a neutral and then trying to alternate corner targets on the wide ball unless my footwork requires it to be more defensive. Add 4 serves after the program finishes helps simulate ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
That really depends on your level and what you are trying to improve which is why I think it is such a great machine.
I am just trying to groove my shots now and focus on hitting deep with pace and topspin.
There are enough drills in the preset to keep me busy after i get good consistency. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

The courts have been pretty busy lately so I kind of only do the programs that are shorter to keep the loose balls to a minimum. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
If anyone has a good custom shot setup for a hand feed in the proton I would be so grateful! I’ve been doing a lot of drills where I vary the depth and height on the FH or BH side to mimic 3.0 and 3.5 play and help me move my feet better back. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |
I got mine 3 weeks ago and love it. I’m trying to focus on better footwork and prep on the forehand side so I made a basic program that basically randomizes across the back six “spots” with 53mph and 500rpm topspin. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-14-07 |
Hi I was wondering if anyone new of something like drop in tennis days in Barcelona, where people just show up to play with other people that have.

Is that your opponent's normal first serve? Were you teeing off on that the whole game? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
This might have been a second serve. This was the only return of its kind I hit during this set, but I took a lot of opportunities to come to the net and won probably 1/5 of my points that way | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

Ezone 100 is basically exactly what you want, but I'd try adjusting your string setup first because the PD '22 is excellent. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |

Because when you're a beginner you don't know what your game is like, and you might end up wasting money on a very nice racket that doesn't suit your style of play or preferences at all. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
There is no "best racket." A racket that's better for one player might be worse for another player. So the important things is to make sure you have a racket that supports your goals and your current ability.
And it takes time to figure out what you, as a player, might need from a racket. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
The same reason you don't get your teen with a driving permit a Formula 1 car. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Yup. There is no best racket. As you progress, you will need something different. It’s highly personal, and you shouldn’t play with a racket just because someone else likes it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Yeah I knew that wasn't the right phrasing to use, but I just couldn't think of another | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
So what is the best racket? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
That said as a beginner you should still but a “real” racket if tou can afford it. Don’t buy junk pot pie at least a relatively current frame from a good brand. As you get better, you will have a better idea what frames works for you | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
Beginner rackets are usually lighter and have a larger sweetspot, making them easier to swing and get power with for beginners | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-13-07 |
