It is a very special pleasure for us to have Heinz Schwarz , the author of the book "Are you still playing real tennis or are you already winning something?" for a more than entertaining gloss. Under the title “Different hing`looks” Heinz will introduce you to his very own perspective on the topic of “real tennis” in a three-part series.
“The idea of real tennis, which clearly dominates our industry, is not a closed scientific system but rather tennis teacher folklore that is passed on from one generation to another and which, let's not hide it, is also expected by the customer. However, this system is designed in such a way that, in addition to the undoubted, although usually not so spectacular, main effects (as suggested by commercial reasons), it produces a lot of irritation and a lot of stress as system-related side effects, among the students, among the teachers, between the teachers and the students and so on among the teachers,” says Heinz.
“Anders hing'wacht” is therefore primarily about perhaps better balancing the main and side effects of the desired and goal images of “real tennis”. New food for thought, perspectives and very practical examples will certainly inspire you! Let's start with part one, which is called "Two tennis teachers - three opinions". Have fun while reading!
The slackening begins immediately after stringing. Even a covering that lies unplayed in the corner is no longer “fresh” after months. Whether and to what extent you notice the loss of tension while playing depends on various factors: sensitivity of the player, material quality of the string, quality of stringing, time of use. Therefore, if you have several rackets, it always makes sense to label the rackets individually and note the stringing date.
Many players string their rackets at intervals so that a freshly strung racket is regularly available and the older one is used in training.

Hit better and avoid frame hits 😉 – All joking aside...
The stringing is always very sensitive at the eyelets, because at the moment of contact with the ball the string cannot move at the edge and may be bent at the eyelet. In the worst case, and depending on the force of the ball contact (e.g. during impact), this can also happen with fresh strings. Before stringing, a good stringer checks whether the eyelets are still intact, because depending on their condition, the eyelet can tear and thus lose its protective function. If the eyelet is defective, a Teflon tube can help or, if available, replacing the entire eyelet tape.
If the bat is still very new, you could send the bat to the supplier.

Now let's be honest: which of you knows a lot about tennis strings? While choosing the right tennis racket is often like a small doctoral thesis, the choice of string is usually not given any attention. Actually completely incomprehensible, because the right string can have a major influence on your playing, regardless of whether you are a competitive or hobby player. We believe that one reason for the widespread ignorance is the rather high level of complexity in the “string universe”. Or do the terms monofilament or multifilament mean something to you? We want to gradually bring a little bit of light into the “string darkness” world of strings
Hybrid strings are a good, suitable way to combine the properties of different strings on one racket. However, it is important not to lose sight of the desired goal and not to get bogged down in testing.
In my consultations I often have cases where a player combines above-average durability with a sensitive cross string and the overall setup only lasts a few hours. In this case, it would make sense to forego durability along the length and get more comfort, so that you can possibly choose a slightly more durable comfort string crosswise and the overall package provides sufficient comfort and lasts longer overall.
Testing hybrids is time-consuming and I recommend determining the main string first. It's best to test 2-3 possible candidates as a full covering, as this way you can feel the properties more clearly. Once you have decided on your favorite string, only test a suitable cross string if necessary.

Players are often given a string without any questions about their playing style. However, string advice is part of a good stringing service, because many criteria influence the choice of string: which racket do I play, how often do I play, how powerfully do I play, how old am I, what hitting technique do I have, how long are my balls currently to the baseline with my previous string, do I have any complaints etc etc.
All of these criteria influence the choice of different material types or the adjustment of diameter and covering weight.

As part of ATP Tennis at Rhein & Sieg in Troisdorf, organizer Marc Raffel and co-tournament director Marc Kevin Goellner are also planning a women's competition. The RW board with Uwe Mass, Volker de Cloedt and Claus Dreser is building on a medium to long-term orientation of the tournament. “It was a great event this year and we are looking forward to the next one,” said Uwe Maaß. The second Saturn Oil Open will take place from May 21st - 28th, 2023 . The Challenger tournament at Rhein & Sieg is expected to take place as a combined event . Not only the men but also the women will be playing in Troisdorf. This will make the Saturn Oil Open an even bigger tennis highlight in North Rhine-Westphalia.
We are already looking forward to being part of the game again as a tournament partner!
Wild Card - that's the name of the new book by Laura Siegemund and Prof. Dr. Stefan Brunner .
A guide and guide that will help you overcome challenges mentally. Both on the tennis court and in life. Because there are enough challenges everywhere. The book is a project close to the heart and a long-cherished wish of the still active tennis professional. With her experience from top tennis, her knowledge from her psychology studies and with the expertise of Prof. Dr. Stefan Brunner's wish resulted in a work of almost 300 pages that takes you through ups and downs, problems and challenges throughout a tennis match and shows you possible solutions to recognize and use your opportunities. But read our book review for yourself! And look forward to the fact that we are giving away two Wild Card copies - get involved quickly and apply by Thursday, November 17, 2022!
Today there's something from the "In Test" section . Because we don't just regularly win tennis rackets - we also test tennis rackets ourselves from time to time. And with great joy and as a former regional league player (hopefully) with sufficient expertise. I was particularly happy when I was able to test the DUNLOP FX500 , because I really liked this racket from the start. What I think is the perfect mix of power, control and comfort . By the way, our travel scout Marc was just as excited about this racket as I was! Find out more about my racket test and the DUNLOP FX 500 racket.
As part of our tournament sponsorship at the METZINGEN OPEN at the end of July, we were looking for a travel scout for the ROBINSON KYLLINI BEACH in Greece . The more than happy winner was Thilo from Trier. At the end of September, he and his companion went south for a week for a tennis vacation including a tennis camp with Markus Wislsperger & Co. You can read how Thilo experienced the divine tennis week in Greece in his travel scout report!
