Virtually every racket company "brand" makes frames for all levels of tennis.  The most lucrative segment of the market is oddly enough the beginner/elderly market.  Most beginners associate price with performance and the elderly are looking for "game improvement" frames which adds power to their shots and are arm friendly.  Everything else is just straight marketing.  The best brand for advanced players has recently been babolat since they have gained a significant segment of the market.  However the best in terms of quality control by making a consistent product is either volkl or yonex.  Having said that, every company makes a quality line of rackets that are appealing to every level of player.  The strings play just as important part as the frame does as far as performance.

Okay, it took a bit of searching, but this might be what you're looking for. Check the link below. You can search for more by entering the following in Google:\n\n"bracelet holder" arthritis -buddy\n\nThe quotations mean it will look for that exact phrase. The dash before "buddy" (no space between) will exclude anything with that word, so you won't get a bunch of links for Bracelet Buddies.

I couldn't find any explanation for your question but I found an interesting article about tennis balls:\n\nIn theory, there could be 24 different kinds of balls. Tennis balls come in four speeds, three types of felt, and two basic means for producing bounce, but some of these combinations are illogical or simply not produced, leaving 16 that you might find if you looked hard enough and only four that you'd find in most pro shops:\n\n    * pressureless, medium speed, extra duty felt\n    * pressurized, medium speed, regular felt\n    * pressurized, medium speed, extra duty felt\n    * pressurized, slow speed, extra duty felt \n\nThe numbers on the balls are only there to help people distinguish their balls from another can of the same brand on an adjacent court.

Hi. Sometimes its the difference between being married or getting divorced. An acquaintance bought a tennis bracelet for his wife, Three of the stones were diamonds (out of about twenty). He knew which ones were real. His wife, a little concerned with how much it cost, asked it the stones were real and the guy said yes, proving it by scratching glass with two or three of the stones. He almost got away with the lie but his wife, not wanting to lose the value if the bracelet was stolen, had it appraised for insurance. The divorce soon followed.

A wristband goes where it feels most comfortable.  I wear mine on the left bicep and use it to wipe my forehead throughout the game, but I can't wear one on my right bicep because it's simply uncomfortable to me.\nLet's be honest, most NBA player don't use wristbands for it's created purpose, most players wear them because it's comfortable to them and that's actually the most important rule of basketball. Do what works for you, what make you feel comfortable while you are playing.

I'm well-qualified to answer this question because I'm a Mechanical Engineer as well as a nationally certified Tennis Instructor.\n\nThe are two reasons why a tennis ball bounces. First, the rubber from which the ball is made is naturally resiliant (bouncy). Second, the air inside the ball is pressurized at 15 psi (pounds per square inch), which causes the ball to bounce at the correct height.\n\nThe way the 15 psi air gets inside the ball is very simple. Be advised, it is not injected into the ball. Instead, the two halves of the ball are cemented together while inside an environment (a room) that is already pressurized at 15 psi.\n\nIf the balls were then packed into a non-pressurized container, the air would slowly seep out because it would push against, and expand, the ball's porous rubber. And, in just a few days the balls would become unplayable, due to their low bounce, even though the felt nap covering the ball was unused and in perfect condition.\n\nSo, instead, the balls are packed into the container while in the same 15 psi pressurized environment. This way, the 15 psi air inside the container counteracts the 15 psi air inside the ball, and the air inside does not seep out.\n\nIf you do not play tennis with the balls, as mentioned previously, they will become unplayable in just a few days even though they look brand new.

The salty composition of even the slightest perspiration on the skin reacts with the copper in the bracelet, thereby creating on the softer of the two materials [the skin] the same blue-green patina found on copper windchimes along the seashore.  PS... The structural steel building product called Cor-Ten is purposely made to resemble rusted iron, presumably because some people feel a naturally-aged metallic look is very attractive.  Just not on their skin.

There's a perfect racket for every player. It's not all marketing mumbo-jumbo. A correct racket is able to enhance your game just as much as an inappropriate racket can make you loose pwer or control and force you to alter your normal technique - often leading to elbow/shoulder/wrist injuries. The best way to choose the right racket for you is to TAKE YOUR TIME. Demo as many models as you can and use each one at least 3 or 4 hours of play before being bale to make a qualified decision on how good it really is for your style. If you are indeed an intermediate player, I would not recommend the N-Code 6 Federer racket. It is a racket designed for players who have huge swings (ie: lots of power) and need a frame that gives them a little more control. I suspect that the nCode 4.O might be more appropriate. \n\nAll the best
