There is no such thing as "the best racquet", only the best racquet for you. In terms of build quality, all of the top brands are fairly similar. Anyone who tells you one brand is inherently much better than the others is misinformed. In fact, many competing labels are actually made in the same factories! While the top three brands in terms of sales (Wilson, Babolat, Head) are the most prevalent, there are at least a dozen other brands of similar quality, including Prince, Yonex, and Dunlop. Each of these brands makes frames for various playing styles and levels, and have models that are similar to ones in the others' lines. The only way to determine the best frame for you is to know more about your level, your playing style and your physical attributes. The most important thing is that you find a frame you like, that allows you to hit comfortably and consistently. There is no good way to buy the right frame just by doing research online or in a store. While you can narrow the field a little bit this way, you have to playtest a number of frames, and pick the one you like best. Luckily, most good tennis retailers, sporting goods stores and even online retailers have inexpensive demo programs that allow you to do this. And many of these places will apply the relatively small cost of the demo to your purchase once you decide which racquet to go with.
There are numerous, significant downsides to Cortisone as a treatment for Tennis Elbow, and the controversy over that risk and the question of whether they’re even effective in the long term continues and is discussed in this blog post: Cortisone for Treating Tennis Elbow: Does it Work and is it Worth the Risk? And here is a related Quora question on this topic:Medical Research: How likely is it that a cortisone injection will be physically harmful? There are “side-effects” and other immediate downsides, like rashes, infections, increased pain, etc,which are easy to find out about, (WebMD, etc.)...And then there are the potential long-term negative effects – most of which are very hard to measure, but have been studied fairly extensively. This video is about those long-term effects and risks:Here is the big downside, quoting Khan, et al – Dr. Khan is a medical research trail blazer in tendon dysfunction whose work is frequently cited in other medical research papers:"It is clear that, corticosteroid injection into tendon tissue leads to cell death and tendon atrophy. …[Cortisone injections] inhibit collagen synthesis and decrease load to failure" Khan, et al Histopathology of common tendinopathies. Update a... [Sports Med. 1999] Cell Death, Tendon Atrophy And More - "It… This may not be a large risk if you only have one shot, (and it isn’t given directly into your tendon but “around” it) but your informed consent to receive said shot cannot be freely given unless you’re truly informed of the risk, large or small. A very common status quo answer given by Doctors is something along the lines of: “Cortisone is perfectly safe as long as you don’t get more than 3 injections in a given area in a given year.” Is that really informed consent though? (I’m admittedly very passionate about this subject!) Anecdotally, for what it’s worth, I’ve treated a lot of Tennis Elbow sufferers and I’ve seen the long-term damage that Cortisone does – even from only 1-3 shots (which is supposed to be fairly conservative.) The consistent result has been the more shots the slower their recovery.
Hmm, Lets See.1. Mini worldcup knockout match vs Australia - Wills int cup, third quarter final oct 28 - 1998 -DhakaHe scored 141 from 128 balls in the first innings and took 4 wickets in Aus inns.This was Sachin's 19th ODI hundred. India Won By 44 Runs.India lost the very next match against Windies and went out of the series. And guess what, Sachin was dismissed for 8 in that match.2.Final qualifying match vs Australia - Sharjah Cup 1998India had two targets: 285 to win the match, 254 to qualify on run-rate. After a dust storm accounted for four overs, these were revised to 276 and 237. India lost the match, but managed to qualify for Sharjah cup final. Thanks to a glorious 143 from Tendulkar from 131 balls.Later, a slight edge off his bat was taken by Gilchrist. Neither the bowler, nor the keeper had appealed for it. But sachin was sure that he had an edge and went to pavilion, even the umpire was stunned. He knew that he had done his part.And then guess what, In the final of Sharjah Cup 1998, Tendulkar celebrated his 25th birthday by hitting a second successive century, his 15th in one-day internationals. He hit 134 runs from 131 balls, and chased down the target of 272 runs set by Australia.3.

A2A.What you ask cannot be summed up in one or two pages. One could tell you his exercise schedule or his diet chart. One may also describe his emotional and physical state while going through an injury or while playing. But how did he manage to cope up with so much pressure and how did he stay fit constantly for 25 years is beyond the scope of any answer. What we need is an autobiography. One where Sachin tells us how he felt. Because no one but Sachin can tell this.To answer this in a few lines, here's my attempt.(S)implicity(A)ttitude(C)almness(H)onesty(I)ntelligence(N)oble.His determination drove him. People like him are just like us, the only difference being that they've found an endless supply of passion, determination, courage and strength within themselves.
I have played tennis my entire life and I have seen many people much older than you pick up the sport.Start by taking s class either with Park and Rec or a local tennis club. You will learn how to grip the racket which is crtitical.Practice your strokes against a hitting wall. If one is not available or near by purchase the Billy Jean King eye trainer. It comes with a dvd too.Watch tennis on Tv. Caroline Wozniacki and Novack come to mind as have the most basic but formidable game. If you want to hit a one handed back hand watch Federer.If you really want a good role model Chris Evert has a training series you can pull off of utube. During her prime she had the cleanest, simplest strokes in the history of the game. She also used the eastern grip which is easier to learn. Today stars use more extreme grips.Look for someone like you, eager to learn to practice with, But if you folllow the steps above you will be in your way!
Perseverance is the tool to achieve one's determination.Let us see an example from the life of God of cricket. Sachin Tendulkar had a dream of winning cricket world cup(not only him). He played for Indian national team from 1989 to 2013. Almost quarter century. Physical fitness is essential for asports person. But mental strength plays a major role in maintaining the physique and rcovering it when it goes out of order.Sachin too faced many injuries in his career starting from 1999. He was affected by back injury then. In 2001 he was affected by toe injury. Thigh injury in 2002. In 2003 ankle injury and finger injury. In 2004 and 2005 he was almost out of the game because of tennis elbow injury. Sachin said that it was the most painful period in his life. He couldn't lift even a plate with his hand. Most if his physicians and his close friends adviced him to quit. But he kept on moving. He was back in track in 2006. But his fate continued. In 2006 he underwent shoulder surgery and also got affected by broken knee. In 2008 he couldn't participate in inaugural session of IPL due to groin injury. India got to know more about human anatomy when Sachin got injured each time.The day finally came on 2011 in which India recorded a stunning victory against srilanka in the world cup finals. All the players of the Indian team dedicated the victory to Sachin. India took more pride in realising Sachin's dream than winning the world cup.Each and every people have some goal in their life. It may be simply called wish or desire. But when you prepare yourself ready to give everything to achieve that cause that becomes 'determination'. The path you should follow becomes 'perseverance'.
