Sorry! I won’t be able to do a video Q&A tonight. But I can take questions here!

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has any experience with string poly crosses at a different tension than their poly mains? I’m thinking about testing stringing the crosses 2lbs lower than the mains because I hear that it improves forgiveness and spin, but I hear differing opinions online. If anyone has any personal experiences with this, I would love to learn!

What tripods have people found helpful with their setup? Noticing mine is filming slightly tilted and also falling over. Is it better to shoot horizontal or vertically? Horizontal covers the entire court but vertical translates better to iPhone reels video format

Welcome to Tennis Den! If you’re here because you want in on our Play Tennis Challenge, this is your home base. Read this first. Video guidelines are at the bottom. What’s the Play Tennis Challenge? A 12-week challenge where you play tennis, post about it, build skills, and a few of you walk away with a brand new $300 racquet on us. Yes, actually free. We’ve done this twice already and the community that’s come out of it is unreal. New for June: Enrollment has steps now. Step 1 — Be active in Tennis Den. Comment on other people’s posts, share your wins on Fridays, jump in on Q&As. You’re earning points (and meeting people) just by being here. Step 2 — Reach Level 2. You’ll level up as people engage with what you post. Skool tracks this automatically — you can see your level on your profile. Aim for Level 2 by your enrollment Zoom. Step 3 — Show up to an enrollment Zoom with Bryan. Pick one: • Friday, May 29 — 6:00–7:00pm • Saturday, May 30 — 9:00–10:00am Both cover the same info. The Zoom link will drop in this group 24 hours before each call. Step 4 — Fill out the enrollment form. https://forms.gle/h3DRxVLMAnf8aQeK7 Takes 2 minutes. Beginners absolutely welcome — we have spots reserved for total newcomers. Why the new format? Honestly — because past cohorts taught us that the people who get the most out of the challenge are the ones who actually want a community. We’re putting community first now. Free racquet, same as before. But you’re going to be playing tennis with these people for 12 weeks. Let’s make sure it’s a crew you actually want to hang with. Shoot us a a DM if anything’s unclear. See you on court
