I am a club player, playing for 3+ years and I am following every Johns' advice about forehand like the grip (extreme eastern), good preparation, keeping it simple with good extension and not much forearm pronation and such.
I Must admit that my game has become so much better since I became a tennisplayer.net member, excellent work John and others!!
Now, since I play on clay only, everyone in my club is crazy about spin, and pretty much everyone is using Nadals or Ferrers kind of racket (generaly rackets with open string patterns like 16x18 and 100 inch head)
My question is this, would I benefit more from rackets with more closed pattern like 18x20 (and maybe smaller racket head, like under 100) since I am using mostly flatter strokes and playing rather aggressive,
or, I should stick with open pattern racket which would generate more spin (or would it? since I am using extreme eastern forehand with more extension and little forearm pronation) for more margin of error?
OR, I should stop thinking about it and play with whatever
P.S. no, its not possible to demo rackets around here :/
