hi!
Fernando Ramboli is Brazilian player, top 250 in singles and top 106 in Doubles.
Hi, thanks for the correction!
Also, look at jaimie murray serve motion, he takes a big step before hittig the ball.
What do you think of the new Wilson Clash series as far as golfers elbow is concerned? I’m currently using a Prokennex Tour after I came back from golfers elbow injury. . The racket is very low power, I’m hoping Clash is a little more power. I use multi strings x biphase or Wilson NXT at 50#. Any thoughts?
I think it is a good choice! Comfortable and with more power than the ProKennex. Go for it. I think those strings should too, another one you could try is the Luxilon Smart, it is a poly but very comfortable and powerful.
Hi,
I used to to play tennis with my Wilson Pro Staff Classic 6.1 95 racquets, but I haven’t played for some years now.
Now I am going to play tennis again, and I have bought a couple of NOS Pro Staff 5.5’s (‘Aire Shell’), also the 95 sq. in. version.
I would like to tweak my 5.5’s to play as much as possible as my 6.1 Pro Staff Classic racquets.
Does it make sense to tweak the weight and balance equal to the PS Classic 6.1, or would that be a dumb move?
I’d have to add some weight to the head (unstrung weight 320 g (6.1 333 grams) and the spec balance is 29 cm).
I am also thinking of having the 5.5’s strung at 26 or 27 kg to harness the bigger power (‘Dual Taper Beam’), so 1 to 2 kg tighter than the 6.1.
I would really appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thank you so much.
Frank
