Thanks so much for the help with selecting a racket. Of the three choices you suggested I chose to go with the Head Extreme mainly because I couldn’t find anyone that carried the Wilson in a grip size 5 (4 5/8) - not sure why. The HEAD will also be a little more elbow friendly as you noted so that should be fine. You guys offer a great service and helpful information - All of which is helpful to anyone that wants to evolve their game or is simply interested in tennis.

I want to thank you for your service! I also really enjoy your website. I ended up choosing to purchase the Tecnifibre TFight. Still playing around with different string setups for it, but I really like the racquet. (I wish they made Hyper-G in a different color - the green just looks strange on the TFight)... I also considered the Pure Aero, but a new one just got released, so I am waiting to see what you guys have to say about the new one! Keep doing what you're doing, guys!

I bought the Wilson Ultra 108 after 3 days of using a demo. It was a great recommendation. I tried 4 different rackets, this one was best. My stringing is your first recommendations (Wilson Revolve 16 mains, etc). As you thought the combination of power with control is working. Thanks!

GREAT service. I had been exploring various hybrids on my own and was curious about gut/poly hybrids in particular. Finally gave this a try and….best $49 I’ve spent on tennis, period. The suggestions were perfect and they really listened to what I was looking for. And they answered all of the questions I had while trying their recommendations – even 6 months later! Have since recommended to many friends. Navigating strings is hard – this service makes it easy. Highly recommend.

It is a very difficult challenge to get a new tennis racket. I was so used to my old racket that any proposed change brought anxiety and apprehension. I was still using a racket that was first produced in 1991. Especially in my case, I am troubled with 30 years of tennis elbow and am extremely sensitive to any changes. I tried innumerable rackets which always hurt my arm. I went to multiple orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists to resolve the pain. The physical therapists were always able to return me to play, and the orthopedist said that even though I needed Tommy John surgery (like the pitchers), I was too old to recover from the surgery. Eventually, I found a Pro Kennex 5g which I used for 20 years which did not hurt my arm. Even though the sweet spot in miniscule, I am afraid to change. Finally, I thought that new technology and 30 years of research would find a better racket that would give me some help. Note _ I am a senior 3.5 with real strokes. I asked the Tennis Bros for their advice and they recommended three rackets and 2 different string set ups. The recommendations seemed to be thoughtful, and matched the scientific literature on rackets that would minimize shock to the arm: heavy, flexible, soft stringbed. Please refer to Technical Tennis by Rod Cross and Crawford Lindsay for further information. I demoed each of the recommended rackets and finally chose one along with the appropriate string setup. This combo works really well and I think I finally have a modern racket that has a huge sweetspot that can help my game. Thanks much, Tennis Bros.
