Ivan Lendl stringing pattern!

11/8/2014

Picture
Here is a picture of the Hybrid "Lendl" stringing Pattern, I used 2 pieces of string, Black Center string is Devil Spin @ 52Ibs, The outer strings are Pro Supex Maxim Touch @ 56Ibs, the reasoning behind this pattern is to give you the spin and control of the polyester and also to have the feel / softness of the multi.
Oh and I liked the look of this pattern and had the time to do it!
Will let you know how it plays when the rain stops!
Ok rain has stopped, Played with this racket for 2 hrs (at club night with club balls) the racket feels softer but still retains the spin potential, I will like to see what this racket is like when the strings soften up even more, but yes I can feel the advantage of this setup, but could I get the same results from a normal Hybrid pattern, yes I think I could but I will test further.

My Standard Operational Procedure for racket stringing

8/8/2014

0 Comments

 
1.Cut the racket strings out using diagonal cutting
2. Remove the strings and clean the frame
3. Inspect the frame for cracks, bumpers strip wear
4. Inspect the frame for grommet wear, splits and / replace were required 
5. After cleaning and inspecting the frame cover any cracks / blemishes with a marker pen
 (the same colour as the frame ).
6. String the racket to the customers requirements (and record on stringing database)
7. Record the Dynamic Tension using, Mini SST,  Stringmeter or Racquet Tune (Which ever you prefer as long as you have a baseline)
8. Inspect the racket: would you be happy to play with this racket ? 
9. Would you be happy to let this racket carry your name until the next restring?


That's my SOP's what is yours?


Cheers!

Want to learn an unbelievable squash serve!

8/8/2014

0 Comments

 
A practice we used to do produced a serve that stayed out of reach for 7/8 ths  of the court, here it is .

Get a tennis ball bucket (72 ball bucket) place it in the back corner and serve, The ball must land and stay in the bucket!

Aim for the serve to hit the front wall 1 foot below the outline the ball will continue up and then drop into the bucket.

points to note:
1. you must lift the ball high on the front wall
2. the ball must drop in to the bucket and stay in the bucket

progression: raise the bucket by placing it on a chair!


hope this helps!

July 2014 "Your Favorite Tennis String"
Is a Hybrid.
Pro's Pro Black Force/Pro's Pro A1

Picture
PRO'S PRO BLACK FORCE (in the mains)

Specially developed German co-polyester for professional and tournament players. With minimal loss of tension, this string provides perfect control, very high spin potential and superior power combined with good comfort.  Due to the excellent durability it is particularly suitable for aggressive players with high string consumption.  Compare to Babolat RPM Blast. 



Picture
Pro's Pro A1 (in the cross)

This High-Tech string with extravagant appearance offers great comfort. The center core is made of high tensile multifilaments which are wrapped with a layer of shock-absorbing braided filaments. A layer of monofilaments is twisted around that. This offers an ultimate comfort similar to the one of natural gut. Gauge: 1.30 mm. Color: black/gold spiral.







note: the feedback from this Hybrid is very good, the combination of the Poly mains and the multi in the crosses gives the control and spin potential of the poly and the comfort and power of the multi, looks good too!
