<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Has anyone done the resurfacing of the tennis court? This year, our club has decided to resurface our tennis court as there are many cracks seen on the court. As we have not done it before, we would like to receive the suggestions from the experienced people here. Can you help? We are in Canada. Does anyone know any tennis court resurfacing company details? If yes, kindly share it so that we can contact them as soon as possible. Also, we would like to know about the estimated rate…</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Has anyone done the resurfacing of the tennis court? This year, our club has decided to resurface our tennis court as there are many cracks seen on the court. As we have not done it before, we would like to receive the suggestions from the experienced people here. Can you help? We are in Canada. Does anyone know any tennis court resurfacing company details? If yes, kindly share it so that we can contact them as soon as possible. Also, we would like to know about the estimated rate for resurfacing. We would always look repair it cost efficiently and with an affordable rate. One of my friends was suggesting about a <a href="http://www.courtcontractors.com/resurfacing/" target="_blank">tennis court repairing company in Mississauga</a>. We have not contacted them. Does anyone of you have any experiences with them? How much time will it take to repair? Any idea? the details you share and the suggestions you put forth will be highly appreciated.</p>
<p>Waiting for your reply.</p>

<p>How to change the pallet on a wilson racquet. Share and like... <a href="http://coachvtennis.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">coachvtennis.com</a><br/> Tools you will need.<br/> * Grinder bit<br/> * razor<br/> * silicone glue<span class="text_exposed_show"><br/> * pallet... from volkl fits best in my opinion<br/> * Protection gloves <br/> * rubber bands<br/> * but cap<br/> * nail gun<br/> * patience<br/> * small flat head screw driver<br/> * double sided tape</span></p>
<div class="text_exposed_show"><p>I first grinded down the original mold as close as possible to the core of the racquet. <br/> Then i used the screw driver to chip off the remaining mold. <br/> I cut the volkl pallet to fit the length of the wilson handle.. be very careful not the break the pallet.. its really sensitive and can chip.<br/> With the rubber gloves on i applied a large amount of silicone glue all over where its coming out of the cracks and spaces.<br/> Add more glue of you see openings or spaces. <br/> I tightly bound the new pallets to the racquet using a bunch of rubber bands.<br/> I added more glue to opened spaces where the rubber bands moved the glue. <br/> I have to wait 24 hours for the glue to completely dry and harden.<br/> Once the glue is hard staple the butt cap on apply the double sided tape for the on top of the pallets add the leather grip. And done ready for play.</p>

<p>Does anyone know where I can get a Vortex ES 133, Tennis Racquet 27 & 3/ 4 length with a 4 & 3/8 grip ?</p>
<p>The Vortex Store in California doesn't ever have them anymore. I have had an order in for one since Dec. of last year? I will take a used one if anyone has one or knows where I can get one.</p>

<p>I have been a long time Wilson Pro Staff user and recently changed to The Babolat Aero Pro. The Wilson seems better at volleys, being able to hit my spots much easier but the Aero seems to be a more powerful racquet. My serves and ground strokes seem to pop off my racquet. I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this or is it just me.</p>

<p>I have a new (2014) Babolat Aerodrive GT for sale. I have only used it ONE time. There are a couple minor scuffs on the grommet, but the body of the racquet is pristine. It is strung with synthetic gut at 58lb. The grip is #4 : 4 1/2. I am switching to Volkl so I'm looking to sell this one. I'm asking $175 OBO. I'm located in the midtown area of Houston. If you are interested, please contact me via e-mail and we can set something up.…</p>

<p>Two weeks ago, I used to have 4 Head IG Prestige Pros and 5 Tecnifibre TFight 325s. I would use the Prestige for doubles because of it's head light whippy underpowered goodness.

<p>Two weeks ago, I used to have 4 Head IG Prestige Pros and 5 Tecnifibre TFight 325s. I would use the Prestige for doubles because of it's head light whippy underpowered goodness. And on other days, I would use the Tecnifibres whenever I wanted to dominate with my Western spin game. Now I've found the racquet that combines both characteristics in one package!</p>
<p>The Graphene Prestige Pro was 11.6 oz strung with overgrip as compared to 11.8 oz with the IG Prestige Pro. Where I felt the IG Prestige Pro lacked stability in the hoop, the Graphene had the hoop stability of the wider beamed Tecnifibre.</p>
<p>I was literally whipping the head faster as a result without having the tweener's characteristic trampoline effect. Everything came out even more controlled than the heavier Innegra predecessor with more drive. Perhaps Head's claim that Graphene is the world's strongest material per square inch was indeed true!</p>
<p>So I still had the feel of a Prestige but the stability of the Tecnifibre at a reduced weight. My forehand returns were more explosive and my flat serves picked up more speed. Even my high one handed backhands had greater zip.</p>
<p>Don't take my word for it. Everyone who had been playing doubles with me noticed the change too! So I of course got rid of my old racquets for three of these gems.</p>
