@thehig1: hmm, i like hard better since it helps me defeat lobbing players. i use a head graphene speed mp strung at 58 with head sonic pro, overall a good combo. at the higher level, you have to increase your attacking style of play since most people will will have a great serve and volley and you need the same to hold you serve.
serve and volley doesn't work very well on clay, hence why I normally win on that surface. I suck at serve and volley but can hold surve as my first spin gets plenty of spin and can kick out wide, making an awkward return giving me and open court to play into.
I rarely make unforced errors, hit my forehands with plenty of spin and can run down a lot of shots, I'm rarely beaten on clay by players around my level or even slightly better than me if there not used to the surface.
As I'm 28 nearly 29 now I'm less interested in playing on hard courts at all, clay is a lot easier on the body and playing exclusively on clay will increase my time I can play tennis at a decent level.
Last tournament I played in on Hard Court, I went out in first round 6-1, 6-2, and I couldn't walk for a few days after it haha, despite the game only being about an hour and half.
Living in the UK I've never played on grass before, would love to try it one day but those courts are no were near my local area, closest to grass I've played on is artificial grass, not the same thing but its still a pretty fast court.
Again playing on that surface I get overpowered by heavy hitters more than I would on clay.
