extreme western grip ownz ***!!!
to bad i changed to reg western nowadays cuz i dont play as much

 

That's for a forehand y0.

 

i play with a wilson hammer ,...ive got a monster forehand and serve ,...but my back hand could use some work,..i get it 95 percent of the time but it has no power behind the ball

anyways i think the tennis masters is a good idea,...

roddick owns....and he is bangin mandy moore

 

oh and not like anyone cares,..but tennis is my new love,..i love playing,...i hardly play basketball anymore because im on the tennis court with my girl nowadays h:

 

hehe i didnt read the posts

i havea 2 hander taht has a slight neutral more eastern grip on it...and if i ever do hit it 1 handed i keep the same grip

 

Don't wanna get preachy but any sort of "power" racquet that's stiff, light, and head-heavy will give you gnarly tennis elbow.

Check out http://www.racquetresearch.com/ for the info.

 

what raquet you suggest? my girl who is a state champ bought it for me,..i just took it and regripped it and have been playing with it since,...i know nothing about the racquets,..i just like playing h: (and from what she tells me,..im pretty damn good,...gonna join some leagues soon :thumbup: )

 

Chicks tend to play with the absolute worst sticks for your elbow. Dunno why.

The absolute highest-rated stick for tennis elbow is the original Prince Graphite OS, which is coincidentally what I play with. I swithed to it about a year ago based on how it plays more than the fact that it's the best for tennis elbow. I pretty much always have stuck with the requirements of being pretty heavy, not too stiff, and balanced head-light. That's the general rules you should stick to as well if you've got any sort of skills. From there it's kind of up to personal preference.

I could recommend a few things to check out if I knew more about your game, strength level, etc. But here's some general solid picks:

Babolat Pure Drive Plus
Dunlop 300G
Prince More Precision
Volkl Quantum 10 Tour
Wilson Hyper ProStaff Surge 5.1
Yonex MP-3

 

what do you need to know about my game? i would take your suggestions seriously because well im serious about my tennis game,..been so for the last month or so now,..im really into tennis like how i use to be with my taekwondo ,... i asked her if the racquet she gave me is the ideal one for me,..and her response is "your playing pretty badass with it,..i wouldnt change it" but she also uses the same racquet so i dont think she can give me a straight answer,..i think she is bias

 

my dream raquet is still michael chang's old prince one the original longbody
