It's not only the reps. Tennis has levels of impact on the joints that TT doesn't. You play in a much harder court where you have to run, jump, slide, and make abrupt changes of directions, that's not good for your knees... Also, you'r swinging a heavier racket around and striking a much heavier...

Yes, it's not as fast but it can be very hard, you have to travel a much greater distance to get to the ball and do a much longer stroke. I used to do this, something like playing only FH in various spots of the court, or FH -> BH -> Dropshot, it was like HIIT training.

When i find myself in that position i think creating angles and increasing spin are my best options. Some basic tactics like a short serve to the FH followed by a opener to the wide BH. Or a short serve to the middle, spiny opener to the elbow followed by a wide shot. Anything that gets the...

If he is playing better opponents it's only natural he will step back a little more because some of his shots that were usually winners are now coming back. He's not used to that so he has to make time to take the next shot, and the only way to do that is by creating space. Like NDH said, it's...

They do multiball in tennis too.

I played tennis for a few years before getting in to TT, i actually quit tennis because i was always injured. There are 2 things i think are being confused here, which are effort and repercussions. You can put as much effort in TT as in tennis, you can train the same amount of hours and the...

I have been playing with G1 on the FH, but i'm giving MX-S a try. After just one training session i'm inclined to agree with yoass, MX-S is a very good rubber but very demanding. It feels slightly harder than G1, but the G1 is well worn while the MX-S is brand new. I'm hoping it will soften up a...

This is how i do it :)

Morizono Masataka uses G1 on the BH and Tenergy on the FH. I suspect a lot of other japanese players use G1 on both or one side.

Yes, that's what i'm using. I don't think is very bouncy, there are way worse rubbers out there. The only thing i don't like it's the durabilitity. The topsheet lasts long enough, but after the effect of the factory booster is gone there is a decrease in performance. In your case this can be a...

I think the Bluefire M2 fits all your needs.

Alex_RSH, yes if you remove the handle and glue it 1-2mm higher you will marginally increase the blade stiffness. The opposite is also true. However, it's impossible for us to know if FZD does this. If he gets the blade and just replaces the handle it would be logical to glue the new handle in...

Then it should be called "Compressor". I love the rubber, and i suspect that part of it's charm is because of this behavior, it's just very annoying to glue.

The purpose of tensors is to mimic speedglue effect, so i always assumed they stretched the topsheet in order to create tension when flattening the rubber. If the the rubber is curling inwards it means that when the rubber is glued it will compress the topsheet, this is the opposite of tension...

Why does this happen? I have seen this happen in some rubbers, namely boosted rubbers that i peel off the racket after some time. It's understandable because the sponge expanded and then returned to it's original size. But i have a Nittaku G1 that came with significant reverse dome out of the...

That´s me. Pitch is affected by the stiffness of the blade. Higher stiffness means higher pitch. Stiffness is dictated by many factors such as weight, composition, thickness, head size, etc... Out of these, weight is the most important when correlating pitch to speed. If the composition is the...

I don't follow his career with much attention, but i really liked his game against Dyjas.

It seems a vein was about to pop in his head from all the bs.

I guess that's why he's playing better.

There is a photo of his blade over at Mytt, Clipper like blade with korbel handle, but it's from 2016.
