Tennis bats are cool. :D

Maybe he just can't toss the ball reliably with his left hand so uses his right- i guess if you both toss and hit the ball with your right hand, you're gonna have to throw it pretty high!


And here i was thinking the weird racket was actually the most embarassing thing about this player. :lol:

A pro that cannot throw the ball with his free hand. What is the world going to...

Calling him a pro is being generous, he's really just trying to sell goofy rackets.

His serve motion/ball toss doesn't seem to serve any purpose, his doubles partner is using the same racket and serving "normally".

I never liked Heads to be honest. I did try a few of the newer ones - still didnt like them :D

Rob should know about them more, so should Xavi, if I am not mistaking he is swinging with head now.
Level 13 Edberg and counting...

Yeah, i still have 2 Flexpoints Prestige (320 gr), they've been my racquet choice for years, plenty of control but still flexible which i like, i know plenty of people who like very stiff frames but after playing tennis for 20 years and having tested hundreds of racquets i prefer control oriented racquets with a stiffness rating of 60-62, no more than that.

Now i'm using the Volkl Powerbridge (295gr) and wow i'm getting very good results and very comfortable with it.

So sorry mate but i haven't played with those 2 Head racquets, sorry.
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

No worries, thanks anyway.
I'm still happy with my Head Microgel Radical MP, although I think a restring could maybe make it come to life.

I'm joining the university tennis club tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get to play more often, and on better courts.
