Hey guys, welcome back to the channel.
So today I'm back here one year later with my friend, Eason.
So Eason and I played about a year ago and I think a year ago, you were like this tall.
So you've grown like, like a six inches, maybe?
No, no.
How tall are you now?
Uh, 5'3".
5'3"?
Yeah.
I think you were under five last time.
I was?
I'm pretty sure you were under five last time.
So Eason, how old are you and what grade are you in?
Uh, I'm 12 now and I'm about to be in seventh grade.
Okay.
Do you know your 12's ranking for USTA and or tennis recruiting?
Um, tennis recruiting.
I don't know.
I'm like a blue chip.
Yeah.
Uh, USTA.
I have no clue.
Okay.
So yeah.
But you're towards the top of your class.
So congrats on that.
Eason, how many days a week do you play tennis?
Do you train?
Uh, seven days.
Okay.
No rest days?
Nope.
So since a year ago we played, is there anything that's specifically like way
better than a year ago or is everything way better in your opinion?
I hope everything's way better.
You know,
I noticed in the warmup that your serve looks a lot different and a lot
better than a year ago.
Is that something you've been working on?
Yeah.
Maybe you even serve bigger than me now.
All right, Eason.
So I see you have a Wilson.
So what's your setup?
So it's still the same racket from last year.
Um, but I modified it.
So it's like 310 grams, I think.
With lead tape?
Sorry?
How'd you modify it?
Lead tape.
Okay.
Yeah.
Can I see where?
Uh, it's inside.
Oh, it's inside.
Yeah.
Um, I still use the same strings and same tension.
What's the string?
Uh, all low power and natural gut and 35 pounds.
Well, so allow powers are the mains or the crosses?
Crosses.
Yeah.
And then the, what kind of natural gut do you use?
No clue.
Okay.
Yeah.
Tension?
Tension is 35 pounds.
35?
Oh, that's pretty light.
Yeah.
What frame is that?
I know it's a Wilson.
What, what, like what Wilson frame is that?
Uh, it says Pro Staff.
Yeah.
Pro Staff 98.
Okay.
But it's the L.
Yeah, it's the L.
So it's a little bit lighter.
Uh, yeah, but I modified it.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
All right, guys.
This is my regular Cilinco Blackout V2.
I've got a cool lime green over grip that matches the lime green Hyper-G string.
So this racket is a hundred square inch, um, 16 by 19.
And I usually string with Cilinco Hyper-G at around 50 slash 48 pounds.

nice comments for Easton's improvement.
I think win or lose, he's already looking a lot better since last year.
So keep it up, man.
I'm happy to partner with Viore again, a brand that I've been personally wearing
for years and always excited to work with.
Viore is inspired by an active California lifestyle.
Every piece is made with intention from fit to fabric.
I'm based in SoCal and always working out, running or playing tennis.
So Viore is the perfect fit.
Today, I'm wearing another outfit from Viore that I've picked out myself.
So this is the sleeveless straddle breathe tank, which wicks
moisture during your sweat session.
And I've got their core short five inch unlined, which is their most versatile
short, which works great for sports and weekends alike.
And I've got their Viore crew sock 2.0, which has a retro look,
but are built for performance.
And of course I got their white wordmark water tech hat for
sports or everyday exploring.
And I also got this cool outdoor trainer shell, which is great for rainy days.
Water just slides off of it because of its water resistant material.
I'm really passionate about five inch inseam shorts and Viore
always makes the best ones.
They're the perfect length right above my knees.
Not too short, but also not too long.
Let me know down in the comments below, if you like my
outfit and the sleeveless look.
Wearing this outfit, I know I'll look great on the courts, but
also stylish afterwards because it transitions so easily.
Whether I'm heading to the gym or running errands for the day.

Thank you so much to Viore for sponsoring today's video and back to the match.
Oh,
all right.
Easton, that was a crazy battle.
Um, you ended up taking the W uh, seven, six and seven, three.
I think so.
Yeah.
So how do you think you played?
Go first.
Uh, I think I played much better than last time.
Um, but I was so tired.
I couldn't make a serve today.
So like you're a little bit nervous or a little bit, but not sure.
Just couldn't make a serve.
What do you think you did better today compared to last year?
Everything or anything specific?
Well, basically everything's like a little bit better.
Yeah.
I agree.
My perspective, I feel like I played all right, but I definitely started
getting a little bit tired at the end.
Um, but I also noticed when I hit the drop shot, I feel like I won more
points because baseline to baseline, you were just, you were just bullying my
height, but baseline to baseline.
I feel like I was a little consistent.
It was hard to hit through you.
So it's just, I hit some drop shots.
If they went in, they're a little bit more effective when you say, yeah.
Uh, well I couldn't make up my mind.
If I was at the net, I hit line or cross.
So yeah.
So maybe that's something you can work on being more like decisive when
you, when you have to chase down drop shot.
Do you have any goals for the rest of your twelves career?
Are you, are you trying to move up more or any UTR goals or anything?
I'm just probably trying to have like some good results in Orange Bowl.
Oh, yeah.
When is that?
That's I have no spring.
Uh, no, that's around December.
You plan to play college or pro or anything like that?
Uh, yeah, I play pro.
Okay.
Hopefully.
Yeah.
Guys keep an eye out for Eason.
Uh, he's got a lot of years to get even better.
Um, best of luck in your junior career and we'll see you guys on the next one.
