This week, we’re posting a Tennis Shoe review from our partner Tennis Warehouse. Hope you’ll like them. Today: Yonex Add Accel Tennis Shoe.

We are also posting an announcement about the new Tennis Camp for Adults.
LA Tennis takes you to Sweden after last year’s phenomenal success. You will have the choice of camps in Stockholm and Goteburg and they also offer a tennis trip to Norway.

Last but not least, we’re posting a nifty set of information pages about HEAD strings.

By the way, if you know a coach, teaching pro, club, program, or event that should be listed here, please connect me with the person who runs it. Appreciate it!

Each person is individually profiled and automatically added to their offline ‘black book’. Maclynn International extends an invitation to all Conga members and Drumbeat readers to become one of their Open Members. Maclynn's matchmakers commit their time to Private Members, individuals who pay for active service, then tap into their network of Open Members to hand-select the best matches and make one-on-one introductions. Pretty neat system, if you ask me.
