I think I settled on a racquet --- the Head Youtek Speed Pro. I was messing around with a couple of others but this is my fav.
The trend is towards low tension and small grip sizes, right? I still haven't adjusted -- my grip is 4 1/2 and my tension is 57, even with Lux string.
What is the role of the drop shot in the modern game? Any role in an indoor match? When I was in juniors, I was instructed that drop shots weren't worth a lot of practice time b/c they tended to have a poor risk-reward profile.
I've been playing lately with a former touring pro (now a teaching pro in his mid-thirties, Argentinian guy), and he just destroys me with drop shots.
Nadal has some crazy wrist action on his serve.....
