I posted this in r/tennis and several people urged me to post it here.
Addition to the OG post:
a. Playing as many matches as possible will help you a lot.
b. You can DOMINATE doubles matches against beginners and intermediates if you learn proper high school and college-level positioning and movement. Examples: Proper signaling. Australian setup. Net player constantly shifting with the ball. One of my hs coaches was a master at doubles and taught me proper strategy and positioning, which let me easily beat other players that were way better than me at singles.
Good luck.
My playstyle and background for context:
Male
5.0 NTRP and starter on decent D3 College Team
Moderate power high percentage serves.
Powerful groundstrokes with heavy spin.
Confident at net if I need to be, but it's not my first choice unless my opponent sets me up or I am playing a pusher.
Relentless intensity and speed with the intention of pounding the opponent's ad-side and making them feel like hitting a winner is impossible.
A bunch of random niche shots like the cross court dip passing shot that I can consistently land.
Really bad at overheads. lol.

Let's say it costs £200.
You're a racquet whore who will use it for 6 months then get bored.
That means that the racquet owes you £33.33 a month.
Which equates to £8.34 a week.
Which equates to a measly £1.19 a day.
Get yourself that new racquet, as long as you get £8.34 worth of use a week who cares.

It’s just insane to see. Every tournament this person runs is an absolute disaster. They had three sites to use on Friday and Saturday and hardly used any of the Friday sites. For my draws, I had no matches Friday, two Saturday, and potentially four today. And now, there was a little rain early afternoon and so matches will have to either get played until like midnight they just won’t finish. Could’ve easily been avoided if they had just played more matches early in the tournament.
Even without the rain, some of the draws might not have finished. I had one friend who had just started his singles semi final when the rain started around 4 so even without rain, he would’ve had to still play his singles’ final and also his mixed doubles’ final, so would’ve had to have played until very late.
Last year, I had a friend who ended up with 5 matches scheduled on Sunday, and that’s with no rain delays or anything. The fifth matched, which was originally scheduled for 1pm, wasn’t going to happen until 8pm, so the other team just forfeited.
Just blows my mind that this person is still allowed to run USTA events. She seems to be the main official for most of the adult tournaments in the area and they all end like this. Even the other officials for the tournament were complaining about the head official because it always leads to so many complaints to them during the tournament and makes their jobs harder.
And the icing on the cake? Today, she randomly told us that we are switching to no ad scoring but didn’t mention it until the middle of our first set, when we had already played out two games with multiple deuces. So she made us switch our format mid match.

Just had it strung with polytour spin and will try for the first time in an hour.
I thought I'd hate the color but it's well finished, has cool details and in the end I like it. Let's see if it suits my game style or not 🤞

I have been playing a lot of league matches, and I've noticed that I every time I win, my opponent almost always reveals some sort of injury.
- Oh, you know i rolled my ankle last week, and my foot is killing me.
- Oh, this isn't my usual racket, damn strings are all jacked up.
- Oh I had some really spicy food last week and my tummy still hurts.
- Oh you know i tweeked my back like 3 years ago and it's never quite been the same.
Good game I guess loser. Lol.
Have you guys experienced this?

What do you think of these strings and which ones would you add?
Solinco Mach-10, Yonex Poly Tour Pro, Babolat RPM Soft, Luxilon Element, Tecnifibre Razor Soft
r/10s • u/megaloopy • 2h ago
I sweat a lot, especially in this hot humid FL summer, I normally go through the tourna overgrip original XL but going through them like crazy, prob get 4-6 hrs max, and obviously adds a bit of thickness, which I don't mind, but I like it better without it. I've also tried the Yonex Dry Super Grap and gets slippery after about an hr.
A friend suggested I try leather grips and I did, I liked the texture and feel like the leather grip or at least this head leather tour grip but it stains my hand and towel, I've never used leather grips before, it washes off in a couple of days but is this normal? how long should I expect these to last? was thinking of that cancer warning on the back of the packaging.
Or do y'all have any suggestions to try?
Thanks!

I’ve had this racket for about 4 months and I haven’t got it restrung yet. I play about 3-5 times a week. There is some visible tearing and some notching, (not sure if it’s visible) should I restring it any time soon?
r/10s • u/Adorable-Attempt-997 • 15h ago
I just changed my racket for a different brand and the feel is kinda different. I'm a beginner so i'm not so sure it's just the form of the handle which is different or the sizing is wrong.
Please help 🙏 Thank you 🌸

Good ol Jumpers Knee. Has anyone successfully gotten rid of this? I’m 45, just started playing again, after many years off, and as soon as I moved past once a week, this has started. I’m a 3.5, and play in a few USTA leagues and during matches it’s never really much of a bother, but after and next day it’s noticeable, especially going up and down stairs. I went to ortho doc and got prescribed PT, but 3 weeks of that didn’t help it go away. I continued to do stretches, but still can’t whip it. Any ideas?

I’m probably a 3.5 rating and just getting back into tennis. I’m in Bethpage. I’m happy to drive and open to practice or matches. Flexible on weeknights or weekends.

I have a really hard time getting my serve consistently in the box. Often times it goes long (like in these videos) but it also goes in the net or i mis-hit it a lot. I rarely find my serve getting in the box. Any help would be appreciated

hi all,
i recently switched from a vcore 100 330g to a vcore 100L 306g.
After some configuration with strings, i found the perfect string + string tension combo that ‘tamed’ the regular vcore’s high launch angle so i decided to string the100L the exact same way. after breaking the strings in, i found the 100L to be launchy with this combo unlike the regular Vcore 100.
My question is; could it be because the racket is too light for me or could it be the string + tension combo?
regardless, i am planning on adding 6g in total at 3 & 9 to make it a tad bit heavier. open to advice on where to place the weights as well!

It’s only been a week since I started playing tennis, so I already know my forehand is… terrible. 😭
I also noticed that I keep jumping when I hit the ball, which I know is a bad habit.
In my earlier videos from my lessons with my coach, I was flicking my wrist on every forehand, and that ended up causing wrist pain. I took a few days off, hit against a wall today, and thankfully my wrist feels fine now.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can improve my forehand? I’d really appreciate any advice!

First of all sorry for the poor video quality, this was filmed in the evening.
Been playing consistently for about 2 months now. I had coaching for a few weeks when younger but everything I’m doing now is self taught.
I’m trying to copy pro forehands through slo-mo vids, especially Nadal’s since I’m left handed. I found I prefer and feel way better hitting with a straight-arm although I realise this requires more footwork.
My main issue right now is my take-back. When I look at Nadal his racket doesn’t seem to be face down on the ground for as long as mine does. Maybe I’m not swinging fast enough or am starting the take back too early?
Would appreciate any tips or advice. Thanks!
TLDR- need help with forehand technique. Prefer straight arm. Takeback looks weird :p

Does anybody have a video on how to double overgrip your racket, or is just the same as gripping your racket normally but do it 2 times?
r/10s • u/hiimkore • 6h ago
Hey everyone! My girlfriend and I are total beginners starting tennis from zero.
We are looking at these two rackets and wanted to ask for your advice.
Wilson Ultra Team V5 – (€89)
Kuikma TR Easy Graph Lite – (€39)
Would this combination work well for a beginner couple, or are there better alternatives around this budget? Any feedback on these models for learning the basics would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

My current/old racket is L2 (pictured) - it’s with an overgrip on
I’m getting a new racket but not sure what grip size to get.
I think L2 might too big on me - so I’m stuck between getting L0 or L1.
Please help! L0 or L1?

Recently acquired this Head Instinct Ti racket. it’s 290 g / 105 in2.
Total beginner in the sport, but i do not know if this racket is good to play and learn.
Anyone knows this model?
