Hi everyone,

I've travelled extensively to - and within - the US (probably 10+ times in the last 20 years).

I'm almost always held at the airport for extra questioning (anywhere between 20 mins to 1hr ... once for over 2 hours ... spent time in Pakistan as a child). The last time I travelled was in 2024.

While I follow US politics super closely, I'm curious what the picture looks like today. There's an important occasion coming up, and I'd love to take my family to Disneyland in Florida. My wife is as blonde and white as they come, though when she travels with me, she also gets questioned about me. Kids are of course a beautiful mix of us two.

I've been publicly quite critical of Trump and the US govt on my socials recently.

My guess that once in, there won't really be any problems. Planning on sticking to the parks this year and not traveling further afield.

Any help massively appreciated!

Hi everyone,

A couple of years ago I went on vacation and got some private lessons. The coach let me use one of his rackets. As it happens, it was SUPER comfortable and I didn't get any elbow pain.

Please keep in mind that I've only ever used one racket in my very short 'career' so I don't really know much about how they differ. After asking the coach, he wrote:

It is a Wilson Clash v2 100. And then he wrote "strung with Volk Cyclone Troue 1.25 at 22/21 kg"

Could anyone kindly help me understand more about the strings here and if this kind of setup is indeed likely to be kind on the arm? I remember it feeling slightly dull and spongy. Didn't feel like the ball came off fast, but I was landing more balls where I wanted than what I currently have.

My workplace has just given me the ability to expense a tennis racket and I'm considering this. Any help massively appreciated.
