So for a while there I was not sealing my blade (Yasaka Sweden Extra, which supposedly comes factory sealed, but it's hard to tell), and I was using Butterfly Free Chack.... all of this with no problems at all. The glue stuck great, easily applied nice and flat with no bubbles, and I could...

Thanks! Can you please describe the blade you used and how you sealed the blade? What product, how many coats, etc. What is the tolerance (accuracy) of your method of measuring the frequency? If it's less than +/- 2% that's quite accurate indeed. If it's greater than +/- 2% then your result is...

It’s clear to me that there’s no definitive answer here. There are different schools of thought, and at the end of the day you need to pick one. The Mark V debate feels like “old school vs new school”, which happens in many sports. I can see merit in both sides. The old school says that Mark...

Sounds like I should either leave the racket as is, or just change the rubbers to a Mark V or similar (and don't change the blade). I'm leaving it as is. Despite lots of balls thrown long, she is steadily improving and having a blast. In the long run, if she can get used to this setup without...

Hello, So I recently bought a new racket for my girlfriend, a beginner who has been playing for about a month now. Purely recreational, no coaching or anything.... but she's absolutely hooked and wants to get better. The racket is a Yasaka Sweden Extra with Rakza 7 Max on forehand, and Rakza 7...
