*UPDATE* Video review from ATP Touring Coach:

Here's another video playtest and review, this one by ATP/WTA Coach David Emery

Genesis Black Magic 17g

Babolat RPM Blast (17g)

Player String ratings from Stringforum.net

Summary:

Genesis Black Magic is a great poly string for the players who thrive on power, control and hit a flatter ball.

Player reviews from Stringforum for the 17 gauge have been very positive. Give it a try and I think you'll find that it is a great value.

Babolat's RPM Blast is also available on sale for those who demand the extra spin at the cost of durability and price ($270/reel).

I would encourage players to try both and list their impressions of both strings.

3 Tips on How to Keep Tennis Fit this Winter

Blend your workout during the winter months
Even though you may not be on the courts as much - try to mix in some indoor exercises to into your daily routine. Take more stairs at work or at the mall. Go for a jog in the afternoon. Enroll in a gym with an indoor pool (heated). Join a weekend "tennis pizza party".
Even getting a cardio sweat just 2-3 times a week is a good start
Avoid overdoing your first few workouts. Aim for 30-45 mins of getting your heart rate up (try Cardio Tennis for example). It is MUCH better than doing one 2 hour workout just once a week.
Get up and move around! Or just *get up*
Every 1-2 hours whether if you're at your desk or watching a movie...just get UP and walk around. Sitting still for long periods of time is very unhealthy and makes it tough to break the inertia. Remember: Sometime the *FIRST STEP is the toughest*
