Hi! Just came across your site for the firtst time and tried to use the link you provided, but this string has been discontinued. Any alternatives? Thank you!

great explainatiion.. now i get it !

you look like andrew tate with a hair version ,no offense just a genuine comment

I am 23 years old female I am 168 cm tall and I have played for 10 years now I had a 4 year break I used to play with 295 grams I wanted to go lighter what would you recommend

I just can’t seem to get the hang of feeding with a continental. I can’t reliably hit the ball where I’m aiming when I have that grip. However, I have total directional control with my eastern forehand. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I can serve with a continental just fine. Just can’t feed it. 😢

As someone who has done a lot of sports and started to play tennis a little I just had to google the issue and found your video. Now I feel confirmed. Hated this tall and very light tennis racket I ordered.

Definitely not recommended for the average club player. Way to move movement and potential to make errors.

Doesnt look like rogers at all

Yes my friend is called Peter a strange thought (they often do ) popped into my head - He could be called Peter String Fellow if he of course listened to this gentleman's advice and got this gizmo

┐(´∀｀)┌

I am exceptionally strong, but not big 135lbs. using an 11oz racket.

The power off your arms isn't always the case, when you are relaxed the racket swings faster becouse your wrist work better. Nice video!❤

I can tell you from years of playing and severe forearm tendinitis that first you have to start with the racquet weight that you can get head speed and be able to be early with ground strokes, a heavy racquet is useless if you can't get it moving. If mechanics are sound and you have no problem keeping up with your level of ground strokes than move up in weight but remember if a big hitter comes along with higher velocity ground strokes and serves that heavy racquet will be way late and best you keep say a Babolat pure drive lite until your timing improves to the faster speed. As for any tendinitis, it makes a huge difference to lighten the tension and use an arm friendly string like a gut or a hybrid but definitely no luxulon or heavy tension like 65lbs I recommend 55 or less. Remember if you can't keep up with your partner and struggle with reflexes on volley switch to a lighter racquet until it improves. Trying to swing a 350gm racquet requires extreme coordination and timing. Try 260 to 300gm max.

You need to get their fundamentals right before telling them what to do with short balls

You are so funny but informative at the same time….you should do tennis stand up!

I just bought a tennis stringer based on your video!

Excellent video 👌!

Excellent description of back swing dropping the racket with gravity followed by pulling racket butt to initiate forward swing followed by throwing the racket. The grip is very loose.

Thanks! Great explanation! So I was a former pro and I played with a 385 static weight racket with 350 swing weight and 32.5 cm balance. 84” head…now as I’ve returned to pro tennis at age 59, I’m using the 2023 Head Gravity Pro and added lead at top of hoop (2 grams) and 4 total at 3&9. My static weight is 340 grams and 32.3 cm balance and 350 swing weight. Strung at 23/22 kilos full bed Alu power. It’s almost perfect but I want more weight but not to change the balance. I think 15 grams heavier will do it. Any ideas how to do that?!? Thanks!

Nice idea! I hadn’t heard this before. Will be working now on feeling gravity…. Update: it’s been a game changer!

squash is opposite, head light ,stiff frame and 27 lbs tension.

but you forget one major component, the speed and the spin of the ball, also it's a terrible idea to start counting in your head when you need your head to focus on the stroke it self

I wish you to get a real student to teach and you can find amazing TRUTH .... 😂😂😂

Excellent instruction on how to feed properly! You are a gifted teacher.

Any chance of seeing this machine in action ie stringing a racquet. Thinking about buying one!

This video is 3 years old but cleared my misconceptions, thanks 👍

Dynamic Tennis Method? ROTFL. 🤣

Nice review, would love to hear your thoughts on other pros pro strings

Bro i barely use eastern grip. It's like eastern, but just barely, almost in the middle of bevel 2 and 3. What is this grip called?

Sampras high strung his little ProStaff and weighted it up. Dense string pattern. Higher tension. Added weight. More powerful shots. Better racquet stability.

That's not the gravitational constant. G constant is aprox 6.77 10^11 u are talking about g

Well said!

False - lockout machines are just as accurate.

Agreed!

Wonderful application of science to athletics. Thank you.

She’s late on contact on many shots. Contributes to extra stress and torque on elbow.

Read the inner game of tennis. Watch Federer rather than follow all these prescriptive steps

Are you’re weight recommendations for strung, or unstrung weight?

2:13 Mmmm... Disagree. It depends on your playstyle. A light racquet is good for correct extreme top spin movements. A heavy racquet works FOR YOU, but only for a more straight flat hitting gameplay, like Sampras for example. If you try top spin with a Sampras racquet, you get so many rim hits, but hitting flatter with a big light racquet, many balls will go into net, or out. Power is nothing without control, and control nothing without power. Top spin with a heavy racquet, can cause just as much injury, like with a light one. Actually , you can't achieve an extreme top spin technique with a heavy racquet, like you can with a light one. An extremely good top spin requires possible tilts arround all axes at all times. A heavy racquet reduces some rotational axes drastically. You don't get this whip effect into the movement, using a heavy racquet. But if you still try, that's where injuries come from. I think, where the misunderstandings are coming from, is, top spin is not top spin. There are 2 types of top spin. The simple top spin, where it is only about giving the ball, the spin forward, or the extreme top spin, with the whip movement during the stroke. For the second, faster, more powerful, and more consistent one, you definetly need a light racquet, while the first one is also achieveable with a heavy racquet. The normal top spin, is the whole arm swinging. For the whip top spin, there is a wrist movement involved at the right time. You can not do that wrist turning with a heavy racquet, and still maintain the correct turning movement, that technique is demanding. That whip snap is happening at such high speeds, you can only control that using a light racquet. Light racquets keep beginners being beginners. That's so not true. It is, again, depending on the playstyle. A well trained player, can do magic with a light racquet. What you are talking about, are training strokes, with not many angles covered, basic strokes. You say only players in there 70s need light racquets. If it was true, that these cause the injuries, then older people would not use them. Btw, you can also use a light racquet, the way you show it, using gravity. Simply learn, to grab it tight, while keeping the arm ( elbow and wrist ) loose. This way it does not spin in the hand but you still have, gravity using, strokes, with the correct angles. Most people tend to make the whole arm stiff with light racquets. THAT's the mistake. If you get it right, you create your own needed directions of gravity, so you are not only using the gravity of the earth, from lifting up the racquet before the stroke. A light racket definetly offers more possibilities. It is not easy. A heavy racquet feels better for everyone, because it gives more power immediatly. But does it make you a better player ? No. It narrows you down to do basic strokes, because that is where it works best. And it is also the kind of strokes you are teaching people the most. What about the lesser angles you cover. What about the more stop balls, you put into the net or too long easy reachable, or ground strokes going out, because of the power. Some strokes require just a little bit of power, more feeling, and that is where a lighter racquet really shines. It is definetly more work, but with more possibilities of how to hit the ball, to achieve the angles you need. A heavy racquet only feels easier, if you only do simple ground strokes all the time. A short cross court for example is way better and easier with a light one, if trained well. But you can never ever achieve the same extreme angles, with a heavy racquet, because the extra power you describe, is also causing the ball, always wanting to go more straight, than angled. And it has less top spin, but also, and that is also important for the angles, less SIDESPIN, because you use the earth's gravitiy from dropping the racquet downwards more, before hitting. With a light racquet, you can rotate the gravitiy more to your liking, depending on what you need in the situation. Especially on clay court, where the ball often bounces unexpectetly different, you can adapt better and faster with a lighter racquet too. Well. I hope i could explain well, what the benefits of a lighter racquet are. I used both over time. The most important thing is, to make a decision of how you want to play, and then stick to it, or find a racquet that is in the middle, and try to get the best of both worlds. I guess that's why we have top spin players, hard hitters, and allrounders ( like Federer ).

The German teacher was telling my son who loves the one handed, that this is forbidden in his lessons. We decided to not continue there. I

So dense with information! Most would stretch this into at least 3 separate vids. And it's so good, that I kind of need to slow it up to absorb it all. Do you have a musical background in addition to your tennis?

The edge one is pretty crazy, nice balance after doing it 100x. Same said for 8, control and balance are just beyond impressive.

It looked like Medvedev & Sinner were doing this today

What was the difference between the two FHs?

You're making me want to splurge again!

one hander is so lovely. Also, I think it balances out the muscles in the arm & particularly shoulder from hitting tons of FHs. Thanks for the inspiration, my daughter wants to play the one hander & all the coaches vetoed it. Will set the slinger up & give it another try!

This is really good. That dynamic step is gold. Would love to learn more about it and your footwork knowledge in general

Wearing a mask. Where is your Ukraine flag ?

Can you make Roddick/ALcaraz/Brands Seve Comparison?

What grip do you use?
