TK Tennis
My name is TK, and I've been playing tennis for 35+ years, stringing racquets for 30+ years. I competed in Satellite/Future tournaments in the 90s, coached multiple HS championships, and developed a tennis training system (Absolute Tennis System). I managed and hired dozens of tennis teaching professionals and taught at the Bollettieri Tennis Academy (IMG) for a brief period. Despite never reaching any resemblance of world class level, I consider myself a student of the game with an eye for talent honed over the decades.
Now, I'm delving into being a YouTube Tennis Creator, hoping to inspire recreational tennis players to improve their games. I take an authentic and straightforward approach expressing my views providing thought-provoking content, always with the intention of being constructive and never with malice. Join the channel, and say hello in the comments.

Gravity to the 4th Power arrived today! These are the MP-L versions that I will customize to my specs which are similar to the MP models, 320g static weight, 7pts Headlight and 315 to 320 Swingweight. I rarely do racquet reviews and being that the MP-L's are not popular I probably won't bother.

I am about to publish what I hope is a very interesting topic about 3 different types of forehand styles, and it may not be what you would think since I have never seen this topic addressed on YouTube (Not to say it hasn't). I have 3 different video titles in mind and I figured I would post this poll to see what you think it the best one. Which one is the most intriguing and would peak your interest to watch it?

Do you believe thinner gauge strings have better all-around playability/performance than thicker gauge strings? Curios to hear what the general consensus is, if there is one.

"Snap" crackle pop for Head Lynx Tour at 6 hours and 56 minutes. Bear in mind this is not a negative, as this well over an hour longer than I routinely get with Kirschbaum Super Smash/Orange. What was most surprising is a cross string broke first, that's very atypical for me. I will have many thoughts on HLT upcoming in the full review.

This channel is reaching a point where I should start considering how to monetize it. I’m not a fan of becoming an affiliate for any tennis brands, as I want to avoid being perceived as biased or “shilling” for a brand. Sponsorships also aren't appealing, as they can feel like a distraction for viewers.
That said, I have two other ideas (3 & 4) I’m exploring and would love your votes/input. Which option do you think works best? Feel free to share your thoughts, context, or alternative suggestions in the comments!

How long will it take me to break Head Lynx Tour 1.25, knowing the average time to break a quality poly is around 7-8 hours. For context, we typically play in 2 hour sessions rallying 2000+ shots each session and therefore it's straightforward for me to keep track of the hours on the strings

All I want for🎄 is an A+ string. Play testing Head Lynx Tour this week, stay tuned for the "One Rally" first impressions video tomorrow (Friday) followed by the full review after the strings pop.
I'm trying something new with this short video clip and posting it in the Community tab. Is this dumb or a good idea as a private preview type thing?
