It's here. The great debate of 2024...high vs. low tension! Our crew of playtesters had 2 racquets strung very high and very low and took to the courts to see what they enjoyed better. But not just that, they tested their accuracy, depth, spin, feel, etc. as they were fed balls and hit at targets. And after that, they jumped in the podcast studio to debate their preferences and choose a side: HIGH or LOW Tension! Join Oak, Troy, Munish and Michelle as they talk through this experiment and let us know what you want us to debate and test next!  If you have any further questions or want to continue the conversation?!

No, it isn't Travis and Taylor...instead, today we have the cutest crossover couple from the NFL and the WTA: Angela and Alex!    Angela Kulikov is a CA girl who played college tennis at USC and is now a doubles specialist on the WTA Pro Tour, but can also kick some serious butt in singles and knows a thing or two about football having gone viral as the QB Chick right around the pandemic showcasing her absolute athleticism and ability to do it all! She has seen success on the pro tour and currently is dealing with a few minor injury snafus but always has some fun stories along the way.   Alex Ward stands at 6 foot 4 and grew up in Florida…a hot bed for tennis as we all know, but currently wears number 47 and is the Long Snapper for the Los Angeles Rams! He played college football for the Knights at Central Florida but if you happen to see him on a tennis court you probably would assume he played tennis at UCF. He might just be the best tennis player currently on the NFL!    Listen to their story on how they met, who loves tennis more, and how they have helped each other along the way as they navigate being pro athletes in two very different sports. We also chat about off seasons, financial security as a pro athlete, training, the mental side of it all and more. Oh and don't miss the big question, WHO IS THE GOAT: Tom Brady or Roger Federer?!   Follow Angela: https://www.instagram.com/angelakulikov/?hl=en  Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/alex_ward_32/?hl=en   If you have any further questions or want to continue the conversation?!
