Jensen Brooksby is getting on the nerves of other tennis players on the tour with his gamesmanship tactics. Brooksby has a repertoire of sorts when it comes to gamesmanship.

Brooksby likes to tap his racquet before his opponents hit the ball. He waves his hands and grunts loudly on important points. He does all of this with the sole intention of distracting his opponents.

Jenson Brooksby needs to grow up. Some of his actions are against the rules. All of his gamesmanship tactics are unprofessional. It might have been okay on the junior tour, but it’s not acceptable on the ATP tour.

Brooksby should rely on his game to win instead of resorting to gamesmanship. He has an unorthodox game that troubles even the top players. His game relies on quick movement and redirecting the ball to different parts of the court with ease. His short backswings on ground strokes allow him to disguise his shots well.

Natural guts used in tennis racquets are made from a part of the cow’s intestine called the serosa. A cow’s serosa has high tensile strength and is long which makes it ideal for tennis strings.

How many cows does it take to produce a tennis string? On average, it takes about three cows to produce a tennis string. That’s because the serosa is a small part of the intestine. Though the cow’s intestine is 120 feet long, serosa is found on only the stretchy outermost layer.

The quality of the serosa varies from freed to breed and from region to region. Cows from the Taranaki  region in New Zealand have produced strong guts and is widely used.

Many tennis players prefer natural guts because of their ability to retain tension and high elasticity. But natural guts can be expensive and break more easily compared to synthetic strings.
