SO HAPPY WITH MY NEW HEAD RACQUET!!

Hi!  I  just LOVE my new Head Youtek Instinct MP!!  I played a match today and played well, my serving was on key and I could successfully lunge for those hard to get elusive shots to the left and the right.  The racquet weighs 10.9 ounces, which adds weight and control to shots that otherwise would have less finesse and spin, and kept more of my balls at net inside the lines than out:

I definitely recommend this racquet for the hard core tennis player who wants to move up on the ladder and in the rankings. I did woof a few balls out, due to a not so well managed grip control on my part, something I definitely need to work on.  
But the control and depth of this racquet made up for some of those lost points, and I am quite pleased with the performance that Head Tennis has given tennis aficionadas as myself! 

Due to the weight of this tennis stick you may need some mild kettle bell strength training and do some pushups while you are at it!  Today I compared the weight against my opponent's racquet which was considerably lighter,  but its balance is 5 points light which is easy on the arm to reduce any form of tennis elbow.

The MP Model:

THREE ASPECTS OF TENNIS

 

Tennis is so much of a forward moving game, I marvel at how it truly mimics life.  Many of the tenets of the game parallel our daily experience, the physical, the psychological, the emotional.  Am I missing one?  

First off, the physical- we must move our feet, arms, and get the body moving.  Our equipment is so important, especially the right racquet, and of course good movable sneakers.  Don't forget a solar UVA/UVB sunglasses for outdoors, well-fitted clothing, always keeping our weight and body mass in check.  

The psychological- how to win, how to focus on not winning and play the point to the best of our abilities, let the point happen, is this possible?  

And the emotional- focus on the positive and move forward in the game, not getting hung up on a lost point or a won point five minutes before, the WIN!  the LOSS! Talk about losing focus in the point we are now in. What mood swings tennis can conjure! What does this teach us automatically?  

Be strong and do not get deterred from looking straight at the ball and getting it back over the net one more time. And look at the popularity of the game, it has been documented to be around since the 11th and 12th centuries, first origins routed to French Monks. 

The game is still moving forward, so much to see and experience, enjoy! ✈
