PracticeHit: Practice Tennis Indoors in the Winter
Tennis-Bargains PracticeHit Review
We were surprised by this simple yet effective tennis stroke trainer that works like a pendulum. The bands at the bottom can be adjusted to effect that the rubber ball's forward and backward pitch. Every time you hit the practice ball, it will snap back ready to be hit again.
Features
- It comes in a standard 32" shaft size that is the perfect size for kids or adults with a lower strike zone.
- To Adjust Height: consider putting the base on some cinder bricks to make it a bit taller.
- Also, we recommend filling the base with sand (instead of water) so that it does not move.
Pros:
- Great for beginners to develop rhythm on their swing
- Lots of repetition in a short amount of time
- Works on developing strike zone slightly in front
- Allows players to practice moving your feet to the ball as you set up to hit
- Durability is good for only about 1-2 years of regular use
- May not be useful for more advanced playersay see that the ball holder may start to break apart or the shaft itself will deteriorate from heavy hitting
- Necessary to invest in a few replacement parts

Tennis-Bargains Tips
*ALU Power Rough is what Roger Federer uses on his Wilson rackets.
*ALU Power gives a bit more power, but is a bit stiffer than Topspin CyberFlash (which is what I would recommend if you have any sort of tennis elbow or arm problems - it is a softer poly string)
Topspin Cyber Blue String Review + YouTube Review
Tennis String Review: Topspin Cyber Blue
Ratings for the Topspin Cyber Blue 1.25 gauge (17g) string
 | |
|
Cyber Blue offers great control and feel as a durable cross string.
*Update*: David strung his racket at a high tension when he did this demo; David had much better results after lowering his racket tension from 63 lbs to 57 lbs. When you look at the 96% of players reviewers who recommended the string - the tension usually was between 51 lbs and 55 lbs.
Tennis-Bargains Tip:
Also try the spin friendly Cyber Flash string with the thinner 17g (1.25 string) over the 16g for a bit more comfort. Also to avoid a stiff feel with poly strings, it is recommended that you typically string all poly's 10% lower in tension.

How to NEVER pay retail price for Tennis ever again!
Why I Never have to buy Tennis gear at full retail price anymore.
Below, I'll share with my advice on where to look to get discounts for tennis gear, events and travel...Why Tennis is so good for you?
Tennis can be a sport that is both fun and AFFORDABLE at any age. It keeps you fit, lean and active (just think of any tennis pro you've ever seen on TV). Tennis comes packed with lots of cardio and is a full body workout;
Think about it - you're actually getting exercise from having fun and spending time with a buddy outdoors in fresh air this summer - a great change-up from the gym!
Rackets: I like to get rackets that are a generation or two old that have lots of good reviews. Often times the changes for this latest year's models are merely cosmetic and the physical changes may or may not make it better. Do your research first! Also, once a racket becomes "popular", the manufacturers will put a major discount on it...this is when I like to buy a few extra in bulk in case they stop making them next year! http://www.tennis-bargains.com/p/racket-reviews.html
Balls: For renewable tennis items like balls/shoes/string (which you need to replace regularly) - I calculate how to max them out based on time AND cost.
