[Rodzilla]

34. How can you forget GASQUET??!!

Nice try, freshman. Already mentioned...

The list is endless, I figure it would even be more endless if we were asked to name all the two-handers

[spinbalz]

spinbalz,
But you are proving my point. The list is essentially endless.

Not so endless if we talk only about current pro players who have (or had) a good enough ATP ranking to deserve a mention, for exemple players are or have been top 100.

[freshman_phenom]

d'oh!...you caught me red handed rodzilla...sorry =(

[Andres]

True. But then again, you'd have to be pretty young to have used a Babolat growing up. ha hehe
I can't stand the PD, but I feel most of their stuff is well-designed. I wish they made a Pure Control (so solid) with a slightly smaller, more maneuverable head. I guess that would be a Dunlop Mfil 2hundred or a Volkl Tour 10.

Man, it was not very long ago that the Babolat name was synonymous with natural gut. VS logo -- that's it. Maybe a couple of subtle little stripes at the bottom of the stringbed. Now, frames, shoes, apparel and molto accessories.....dominating the junior and college ranks.

A bit of irony in last week's AUS/ARG Davis Cup tie: I could not help but notice that both doubles teams were righty-lefty combinations....and the doubles match featured a thin Yonex and a Babolat Drive series taking on another thin Yonex and a different Babolat Drive series frame. Funny thing is, the two Yonex guys had 2-handed BH's and the two Babolat guys had one-handed BH's. He played poorly that day, but Wayne Arthurs sure is a good volleyer with that thing.

Then I thought of Alex Corretja, who had a really solid one-hander and used a Babolat PD in the latter stages of his pro career.

Exceptions abound.

Sometimes I feel people place too much emphasis upon equipment. OF course it's important, but would a switch to a headlight, thin beamer really make a kid like Roddick volley better? Or would better technique and repetition under pressure be the key? Talk about good technique [and being raised with it]: I think Arthurs would volley well with a Big Bubba! Or a Big Bertha for that matter.

I believe it's mostly the player, not the frame. I guess the professionals make the best choices they can so they can play to their strengths, not necessarily improve upon their weaknesses.

Sorry, I suppose this belongs more in the Pro Rkts.Gear section of the forum.
All the best, gang.
----Slice.
