Minimize variables to improve consistency. My bag has three identical racquets. Here in Texas, we sweat a lot. When a grip gets slippery, put it aside, let it dry. Pick up one of the other identical racquets. Keep rotating them and you'll usually have a dry grip.
Different balls play differently. The wind blows inconsistently. The sun moves in the sky but my racquet will always play the same.
Pulls watermelon out of the bag

how about a 12 pack with ice
ngl, i would do that too

Great list. Things I carry that are not on your list
-TWO smaller towels. I like having a dry towel when one gets drenched
-Sandals. Oooh the joy of taking off hot shoes and wet socks and feeling the breeze
-Nail clippers. Mostly for cutting string, but sometimes nail maintenance too
-Two extra shirts. I like a fresh shirt for that third set, and a completely dry one to wear home
-Cash. Some cash lives permanently in the bag. In some countries you have to tip the ball boys/girls who dont take cards
-Water/drink bottles. You probably have them too
Can never forget the water!
How high level of a tournament are you playing that you have your own ballkids?
@@DeeeFoo I am in a country where they are available even for your practise sessions. Sometimes they are groundskeepers and young pros who are making a little extra money on the side. I go a little out of my way to support them, particularly during this covid lockdown.
Another important thing about sunblock is that you need to apply it at home 15-30 min before you start playing(especially in hot, sweaty weather) otherwise you'll just sweat it off.
And the best thing to do is cover up something like long sleeves and a hat but if itâs 90 outside no way would I do that obviously to comfort level
Black long sleeve shirts for bright sun up to 80 degrees. I wet the sleeves to get evaporative cooling and repeat when dry; I might sweat less, so it may reduce electrolyte loss
People think im crazy carrying dif tensions... but it makes a big difference.... thnks for reassuring me
yet another great video..thanks for the personal insight into your tool box..
I am a 42 lbs convert since last year..
I only carry 2 racquets in my bag, and they're not even the same model lol. To be fair though, I'm not sensitive enough to be bothered by the difference.
same. this all reminds me of the princess that woke up because she felt a pea beneath like 13 mattresses. Me and you would have slept through the night because we wouldnt have felt a thing!
Keep in mind that this guys sells tennis equipment for a living. There is no reason to own so much if you are a regular hobby player. If you earn your money with Tennis, then there is a reason to think about details, thats my opinion.
@@Falquiboy That's true. There are still hobby players that have like a dozen racquets though, so I still don't understand the need for so many. I guess if you're a collector then you'd want to have a bunch of different racquets, but even then there's probably only a handful that you actually would play with and bring to the court.
@@DeeeFoo They probably feel good if they own a lot. The decision itself is stupid though, as it wont make you a better player. Doing core workouts on a regular will make you a better player than using a racket with a different tension. If the goal is to become a better player, you only need one racket. If your goal is to win trophies, then your sponsor will probably buy everything you need so thats that. But this channel is about the equipment and thats okay, I am not hating on anybody actually.
@@Falquiboy i agree! I have 3 racquets, all same model, but i ont carry 2 to the courts at a time. I tru to restate them so they have similar tensions. I like my racquets as identical as possible, i can't stand when they are different tensions and toy can feel the difference.
So glad I found this channel đ
I'm good with two of the same racket as a weekend warrior. Mainly to have one backup and to also allow me to go longer without visiting the shop for stringing. No particular reason why but Id rather string two rackets once every two months than string one racket once a month. I'm not going to mess with all those varying tensions I'll just run what I like and if I get tired that just means I need to improve my fitness. Got two Yonex Ezone 98s and I'm happy especially with their great QC.
How many times a week are you playing to restring every month or two?
@@Mister3Pac At the time I made that comment I was hitting anywhere between 1 and 4 times per week using a full bed of poly or hybrid poly/multi.
2 of the same is enough for any rec player not competing. 1 for play and 1 backup in case a string breaks so you don't have to go home early.
Or you could be like me and have 12 different brand new racquets in your bag because you want to test and feel everything the market has to offer and demos are annoying because you don't get to pick the string or tension.
You can cut out the strings on demos and put ur own
Thanks for talking about temperature. I live in the Midwest, and play outside for near 10 months of the year anywhere from 45 to 90 degrees.
which state?
I have 5 racquets in my bag, I play with the Wilson Profile Kuebler 95sq. I love these racquets and I have love playing with them. I havenât found a racquet that is close to these racquets. Great video my friend.
Great channel / info .
Love the colour of the Confi 3.0.
I just cannot play at those tensions, Iâm playing with Lux Alu Power in a Pure Strike 98 16x19 at 57/54.
I like all my rackets strung at the same tension so I know how the ball comes off the racket each time and I get them re-strung every 2 weeks.
Emergency racquet :) I have one of those as well, a stock version. Love your videos.
Seriously Wilson needs to step up their bag game, idk why a lot of companies are moving over to duffel type style of bags.
I love this bag. I carry a lot of crap for the simple reason that I like to. I like playing with different rackets not because Iâm a pro but, I like to change things up and I also have a hard time walking away from a good looking racket. Having my âcollectionâ and all of my accessories all in one bag just makes me happy. Maybe he feels the same way. I will use this bag until it falls apart, It suits me and it obviously suits him.
My opinion is most of us only need 2 rackets. I have used this approach for 4 decades and I think I only once had a situation where both rackets had broken strings. If you play a lot and play a lot in competition, I could see getting 3 frames but no one needs more than 3 rackets. I also have a stringer so if I know I have 2 or 3 league matches in the next week, I can string up a 1 or 2 frames. You can always keep a 3rd older model in your bag in the rare event that you break strings on your 2 current model frames. More than 2 frames is a waste of money in my opinion. Funny, the guy that owns a pro shop says you need 4 frames.
Good point on having multiple frames with different tension. Personally I carry two matched pair just so that I can switch between them once my grips soaks with sweat.
Been wanting to see vidoes regarding personal equips with details from a fellow player. Keep the vids comming.
Use tourna grip original if you sweat a lot, it helps!
There was a tennis coach I know whose tennis bag weighed almost a 100 lbs. In addition to 10 rackets, clothes, shoes, cones and markers, tool kit, towels, balls, toiletries, camera tripod, first aid kit, spare strings, grips and overgrips, rope, books and brochures; he also had therapy equipment - exercise rubber bands, gyro balls, massage roller and spring hand strengthener.
Thats like a crazy amount of stuff
Thatâs the coach life they need it
I also carry 4 racquets. 3 Head Radical Pro and 1 customized Head Speed MP. Stings and tensions vary between them. Reasons: Need to change when the grip gets too sweaty. Need to change when I get fatigued. Need to adapt to a hard hitter or a soft hitting pusher. Also some days my serve or strokes in general are just off and a shaped string with more bite helps or a looser tension. Needless to say also as backup for string breakage.
Starting to be a regular viewer. Good stuff. My request is for a playsight data on poly vs natural gut. Get a 4.5 guy, same racquet, letâs say clash or blade, and I wanna see the spin on forehand on playsight. Can you do?! đ
Very nice and informative video. I usually have 3 of the same. I have one strung with poly and the other two strung with synthetic gut. The one with poly, strung 2 lbs. tighter than the ones strung with syn. gut. For several years, I bought 3 of the same racquet because of chronic string breaking. Nowadays I don't play as much and buying 2 of the same makes more sense. I used to be all about the boardy feel of high tension strung racquets, 65+ lbs, syn. gut. Now, I'm stringing my racquets in mid to low 50s. Took me months to get used to those low tensions. Anyways, I'm primarily carrying only 2 of the same racquet in my bag. 1 strung with poly and the other synthetic gut. I usually play with the one strung with synthetic gut. I play with it until it breaks or feels "dead". For the past few years, I am breaking less strings. I will use my other racquet strung with poly if I am dealing with better competition; otherwise it's just there as a spare.
1:09 "easy to hold on to a bag 10+ years" I have mine for almost 8 years now, almost there
Why do you play with the Clash 100 Pro/Tour? It is a relatively new racket. I found it hard to control the topspin for me. I think it is more for a western gripper. Is that true? I play with a Pro Staff 97 (not the RF) for several years (black on black) and am an Eastern to Simi western gripper at a 4.0 level. I was looking for a change. Any suggestions?
Iâve had the same bag for about 12 years now which was when I first started playingđ€Ł
Lot of good suggestions....will try these out
i carry 4 racquets in my bag. yamaha secret 100, yamaha secret ex and 2 wilson pro staffs from my collegiate days. I have been demoing the wilson clash 100 and really enjoying the way it plays. a little light for my taste but i do appreciate the softer feel. nothing a little lead tape won't fix. i may have to retire all of my old racquets and switch to the clash.
Man, you're crazy. I love you
I want to see you how you play tennis
This is life man!
I'm in your channel all day
Great video !!! I play with the Wilson Clash and I wish they would come out with a decent bag for it !!!
Just an FYI...I did reach out to Wilson about the Clash bag and they said they will be releasing a 9 and 12 pack for the Clash in Spring of 2021.
90 degrees feels good with a breeze. Central Texas with nice Humid 106 degrees in august really sucks. Then it drops to 80 in September and rains every day. Gotta love Texas lol
Great point! Thanks
I have 2 clashes, different grip sizes 4/3 and different string types, one racquet I prefer, the other for experimentation (I have a stringer)
Which pocket has tha weed?
The hidden pocket
đđ
What specifically are you looking to accomplish with the various strips of lead on the Clash? I have a Clash 100 with a little lead at 12 oâclock to bring up the swingweight (and a few grams in the handle to compensate). To my eye that looks like a lot of lead on an already stable racquet!
Hey Tennis Spin! About the over grips, maybe Yonex Supergrap would work well for you. Not as tacky as Wilson Pro.
Great info. Thanks.
I like shock absorbers but sometimes I donât use them so I can feel the ball better too. That is a lot of lead tape and it totally changes the racket! I canât imagine it feeling good. I like to add weight to my pro staffs but Iâm getting older and canât handle the RF type weight but I use at least the reg pro staff weight 11oz +.
@TennisSpin, Could you demonstrate the difference in ball launch/projection/distance from hitting with each of your racquet. I mainly want to see the difference (and how noticeable) each string tension plays at. ie. the same groundstroke, serves. volley with each of your different tension racquets.
Outstanding informative video
I just use a single racquet and don't have a second. It seems a little excessive to carry multiple racquets if you can only use one at a time. The shoes are my everyday shoes. That's the contents I carry to the court other than the balls. My goal is to play in a league and become 4.0-4.5.
Gotta learn to use the two racquets I have. Mess with string tension later
Hi, on next video can you explain how dos you customise your racket allĂ steps please
Unless you're playing a tournament why would you carry 4 rackets.
@Legba daniels I carry 3, so 4 does not seem too many. Sometimes I can break two strings in a day, or on consecutive days.
He explains it in the video, but it's better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.
@@doosrajawad Is it because you are a high level player and played every day? Or because you use a soft and confy string that break to much but save your arm? Just by curiosity.
Right on winning is more important at the end.
G, I donât know, maybe because people think differently about things? Did you actually watch the video?
Never thought about multiple sticks in that way. Makes a lot of sense tho. Thanks
I like your videos. Thank you
I've had the same bag for 20 years.
What's the difference between the solinco confidential 2.0 to the luxilon smart which you recommend for clash rackets.
I am agree with your view and opinion with the actual clash bag it is for carrying a dog or a cat..
I carry different racquets, different tensions. Depending how I feel also.
Sir you should go on the Tour with me obviously with that bag plus items!! I have a very similar amount of items. congrats!! :)
I just switched my clash(s) to confidential at 40 and 44lbs. I really like the 18 gauge. Feels like more bite. I am not a big string breaker. What about you?
you should try toalson's quick dry grip its the best overgrip for me.
I string my Vcore 95 at 58 with confidential.
Head monstercombi 10 rackets bag for the last 8yrs.
Hi There, i really love your videos great info ,i watched every single of them, i just would like to give you a positive feedback , the sound sometimes is hard to hear it ( sounds like you were very far away from the mic ) , getting a mic for the cam like an external mic not something fancy just something to get the job done , would put your videos in another level ... thats it !! Thanks man Great Tennis info again it helped me a lot ! where can we buy from you ? where are you located ?
Thanks for the tips! I just ordered a mic. Thanks for watching!
WOW You are the 3rd person I have seen last 25 years that doesn't use an overgrip! NOW its me you and McEnroe thats it last 25 years 4.5&4.0 leagues + regular people I play with! I use Head Softac Traction BTW
It really depends on weather, grip, sweatyness of hands, if you are string breaker or not.
Also could because he is stringer he wants to test at different tensions so he could give proper feedback to customers too
Yo.. where is your store located? Trying to decide on which tennis racket to buy next
Please can you show us how you custome your racket please. All
I want to strung a poly with some power and feel as loose tensioned. Which one is good?
Down in Florida it gets to 110 in the morning and we play at 1:00
Gotta love your southern states lol
Have u tried the clash 98 ? How do U feel between the 98 vs 100
How often should we replace tennis balls for practice? What is the side effects when not using new ball for training ? Thanks
I live in Brazil, rackets are way too expansive here for me to have more than one of the same kind :(
I carry 2 in my bag, but itâs my old racket and my new racket, and they are completely different hahah
I used to play with 8 rackets in college. Now as a hobby player I only have 2 but I'm thinking to get a 3rd and 4th just in case but they're not really necessary as I don't break strings often even though I put a lot of spin on my shots.
What happened to the 8 rackets from college? Did they get old and break?
@@porkisthebestmeat8955 No way! I sold them years later for almost the same price I bought them for. Head Prestige Classics still sell to this day for a handsome dollar.
Does the weight of the balls change (apaert from mconditions effecting). Or is it jusr down to the rubber hardness?
Snoopy says, "It is not how you play the game, it is where you place the blame!" Sting tension works!!
Can you do a video about topspin pro?
the title ... "Why I carry 4 rackets and why you should to"
why you should to what???
Also I wish i had enough money for 4 rackets 2 is the most I can afford.
Well I'm guessing he would greatly benefit from people buying more rackets. It's just advertising. Jesus look at all the affiliate marketing in the description too.
@@master0fnone lol title should finish - WHY I CARRY 4 RACKETS AND WHY YOU SHOULD TO GIVE ME MORE MONEY
pproust itâs not that deep
@pproust My thoughts exactly. There is no point in a recreational player carrying 4 rackets to the courts. I've seen it at clubs too many times over the years. The worst is most of those cats can barely play. I don't know how well this dude plays but if this shop is his full time job, I can't see him having the time to play a great deal. I can see him turning up at his country club bending over his bag rummaging thru, picking up two rackets, tapping them together 'listening' to the strings, picks up another does the same etc etc so as far as I'm concerned it is pretentious ' look at me ' bull shit.
good theory
I can smell those shoes from here
If he changes one racquet, you know you are most likely going to win
Great video man, are you guys open rn?
You made a hammer of the clash, 360gr! Use a bat mate đč
how do you compare clash pro with 98?
You should try the Tecnifibre X-One ball if you get the chance. It plays like a softer US Open.
They do not sell them in the US apparently. But it is a GREAT ball.
3 Yonex racquets with identical tuning and stringing for 2 out of 3 sets. 3rd racquet may be strung 2 lbs. looser for the 3rd set of a tournament.
Mains and crosses same tension?
where is your store front located?
Did you carry Uniqlo clothing in your store? Thank you CR
I carry 4 rackets: 2 for singles (baseline play), 2 for doubles (when I have to play at the net for volleys and drop shots)
My bag is probably 10+ years old and it's not broken. Aslong as no seams are loose or you need more space for more tennis rackets or other stuff there is no reason to upgrade imo. Most bags practially last forever and that is a good thing.
You only ever need 2 racquets!!! One to play and one for back up. If you do tournaments then i would carry 3 to be extra safe, but that's about it! Different tensions is strange to me, what happens if i break a string and only have looser racquets, all screwed....
Idk, 3 racquets max, club play carry 2, tournament carry 3.
Now, this is for the average Joe 3.0-4.5 club player that occasionally plays USTA leagues.
If you a elite junior or college players, or pro, you know that there is no rules there, everyone is individual and can share their set up.
I am referring to the average Joe shmoe - 2 to 3 racquets strung as close to each other as possible, rotate them regularly so they wear evenly, and resting often no more than 1 month between string jobs, you will be ok!
Hi there. I am interested in using you machine which will help me match racquets. Where is your store? I also carry 3 weighted up racquets and one stock.. I was shocked to see this video. I use the Wilson pro staff 97 LS BLACK from 2016
Have you bought 3 of the same racquet and they all swing and feel different? Ugh! I used to own 3 2011 Babolat Pure Storms and they all feel swing and feel different. Frustrated. Then I switched to Pure Drives and I was really lucky that all 3 purchased frames swing and feel the same. Other racquets where I got lucky, 3 of the same, Wilson Hammer 5.2 Classic; Wilson H Tour 95; Wilson N:Code Tour Two. Babolat Pure Storm and Aeropro Drive were failures.
If you are not a PRO 2 is enough!!
Whereâs your shop located? And whatâs your name? Iâm 62 years old & have been entertaining the idea of using an âoldieâ racket like the Wilson Hyper Hammer 5.3 (arrives prestrung), sells at $99 ... or a Yonex Ezone 108, sells at $120. Iâm a Yonex fan since using Navratilovaâs R22; hence, would be niche iFM you can test the Yonex Ezone 108 or even the Yonex Astrel 105. Thanks, Nachobad.
I don't see the point of carrying around all the excess weight. If I'm playing recreationally, I turn up with 1 racquet, 1 drink bottle and some balls. If I'm playing a tournament, I'll add 1 more racquet and a towel and spare shirt. Everything else I leave in the car.
Just because you donât see a point doesnât mean someone else does. For me, I live in a city and donât drive to the courts, so I need to bring everything with me. Live and let live
Google Reviewer if you are leaving your racquet/s in your car, itâs likely theyâre being exposed to high temps as well. Not good for your strings or your frame. Whatâs your level of play?
@Google Reviewer
I agree. i have 3 racquets not only cari 2 with me at a time. I have a big 12r monstercombi bag only for when i go to tourneys and USTA league matches, a small backk pack for all other times. Always trying to pack as light as possible.
I'm sure you have experimented with string gauge. What string gauge have you settled on? For years I hit with synthetic gut, various brands, 16 gauge. I finally decided to experiment with poly and ended up with Hyper-G 19 gauge at 52 pounds. I have three racquets in the bag, Pacific Raptor, all stock -- 4 3/8 grip, vibration dampener, Dunlop overgrip. It's amazing how the tech has changed since I started playing -- pipe wrench Jack Kramer 4 5/8, Fairway grip to my super light small grip Raptors.
yo ching chong nobody ask u.
Two racquets are more than enough for most people. Pros change racquets every 9 games that's why they need more, eps. if they are playing grand slams.
Your videos are really cool. Congrats. Hello from Brazil!! Question: where is your store located? When all this corona crazy moment is over I wish I could visit you sometime ok. Take care.
I am about 25 minutes outside of San Francisco in a town called Greenbrae. Store is called Tennis Nation. Thank you for watching.
Is this Brad Gilbertâs store?
Head Hydrosorb Pro is MONEY, feels like a Ferrari steering wheel.
â if Iâm not feeling so balanced I isnât use the new âbalanceâ shoesâ Hahaha like if that made you laugh as well. Your my favourite CZcams channel hands down what is the best club level tennis racket under $160 or ÂŁ130?
Great content and channel!
If you only had one Wilson Clash Tour (pro) what tension would you string it to?
I current have a Pure Drive and itâs strung at 52lbâs, when my new Clash Pro arrives, should I string it lower?
He mentioned something about 48lbs for that clash in an earlier vid. Probably lxn smart too if memory serves me correct
Cheers, Iâve gone 52lbâs with tourbite 17g. Working well so far.
Can you do a rewiew on Yonex polytour spin on mains and Yonex polytour pro on cross with 52 ibs on both???
Hi, I canât get Quanta muscle rub in the UK, any ideas where I can find it and they will send to UK.
I most play on clay, so my bag is really dirt. Hehehehe
