If you’re in a friendly match with a friend, and you’re in a somewhat heavy rally, would it be disrespectful for me to hit a moon ball to put my friend in a more defensive position and to change the pace of the point?
I understand that vaccines take a small piece of the virus or man-made piece that we predict may be the upcoming virus and then introduce it to our body so our immune system is familiar with it when it actually encounters the actual virus. If that's the case, why do we still get very similar symptoms from the actual virus, like headache, nausea, muscle ache? Are these symptoms from our immune response or are they from the virus (if it's from the virus, it wouldn't make sense for us to feel those symptoms from a vaccine).
I’m quite reconditioned and I think that’s one of the biggest factors for me no hitting well. I think I get too tired too quickly to have good footwork and to have good preparation for each shot. What would be the best exercises to do to improve my fitness (distance running? Etc) or is just playing as often as I can sufficient?
I am in my late 30s and recently returned to playing tennis after approximately seven years away from the sport. I currently play at an estimated 3.5 level and use a 2012 Babolat Pure Drive strung with a full bed of polyester strings.
Since returning, I have begun experiencing very mild muscle aches. While these symptoms are not concerning at this point, my primary goal is to minimize the risk of developing future joint or tendon problems, particularly in the elbow, wrist, and shoulder.
I am considering purchasing the 2025 Pure Drive, which is advertised as having improved vibration dampening and comfort. Given that I also plan to replace my worn replacement grip and switch from a full polyester setup to a multifilament/synthetic gut hybrid, would spending approximately $200 (not including tax and shipping) on the newer racquet be worthwhile from an injury prevention standpoint? Or would the changes in strings and grip likely provide the majority of the benefit?
Edit: Thank you everyone for your recommendations so far! I'll keep my eyes out for additional recs!
When I mishit, I notice that I tend to hit closer to the rim (3 o clock position for forehand and 9o clock for one handed backhand) by about a couple of inches away from the center of the racket. What am I doing wrong and how I can I fix it?
I just started playing tennis again after not having played for 8 years and rediscovered how much I loved playing. I’m mid30s and self rated 3.5-4. My main concern is developing arthritis or joint pain in the knees, hips, and back within the next 5 years (already feeling some aches here and there in this areas sometimes). Any tips or exercises you recommend that can slow the development of arthritis in an avid tennis player?
