    Vantage, which one to try next?

    I picked up a Vantage (almost identical specs to my prestige mid except 1/2 oz lighter) to use just for doubles, played with it a half dozen times and it gave me a year long case of the elbow. Beautiful frame, i think I paid someone to take it off my hands...

    Title suggestions for Serena's next book??

    I thought this might be helpful to Serena and her publisher....a sequel to "On the Line". I earlier suggested "my foot is On the Line" but I think "my endorsements are On the Line" might be more fitting...

    Serena's interview on Good Morining America

    You're probably right. She had this scheduled, banking on being the Ladies US Open Champion for 2009.

    Serena's interview on Good Morining America

    no, she said she would LIKE to apologize to the linesperson. I guess she couldn't get her number... and I don't hate her (as if it matters) but I'm guessing she has generated $100K extra revenue for her book with this little stunt. Maybe I'll threaten somone at work today and let's see if they...

    Serena's interview on Good Morining America

    I just happenned to turn to Good Morning America during breakfast for Serena's interview, supposedly an apology for her actions. It turned out to be a 8 minute plug for her new book "On the Line". I've never been a fan of the Williams sisters, but she said that her actions were no worse than...

    What happened with Serena?

    No fat??? And I suppose you believe the WTA bio that has her weight listed at 135 lbs. My gripe with the Williams sisters is that either of them could have been the GOAT. But neither wants to be tennis players. No heart, no dedication, no honor for the sport. That is their right, I...

    I think my grips too big.

    The TW leather grips are great. I used the 1.3mm grip on all of my prestiges to make them a little more HL and keep the grips small. I use a 1/4 grip and any time I've tried anything larger, my elbow makes me stop...

    String fo my microgel extreme pro

    Try using Gosen micro 17 (or even 18) if you don't break strings excessively. It is dirt cheap and is really a nice string for the price. You can even get it in a 660' reel for less than $40.00. Bear in mind I will use anything, regardless of cost (used VS for a long time) and the Gosen is...

    Who plays with 7G or 5G purely because they're good rackets?

    I was playing with a Fischer, and bought a cheap 5g for kicks and its rep as a elbow easy frame... Like it so much I'm looking for another w/ a 4 1/4 grip. If you know of anyone with one....fuhzball@yahoo.com

    Rude Folks....

    Slapshot, I agree with you 100%. I played a league match last year at a group of public courts where other players (not in the league) pulled their cars close to the fences, open the doors and cranked up the music. But more disturbing to me was the match at a private club, (court 1...

    Rackets for tennis elbow

    Dude, just give it a shake.. it sounds just like a etch-a-sketch. TimSims told me when he hits a bad shot, he just gives it a shake, and it is erased.....

    Rackets for tennis elbow

    Funny, since my contribution to this thread, I picked up a cheap 5G on the bay, and this is a pillow (as my friend calls it) with which to hit. It has a very nice feel, if you can get over the bean bag sound. I still prefer my Fischers, but if you really have the elbow, this is the best frame...

    You've just got to give it a shot. Of course you'll lose some at first, but there is nothing (well almost...) better than beating someone that has beaten you before.

    Rackets for tennis elbow

    conventional wisdom is to play with as heavy as you can handle, string w/ a multi or gut, at as low tension as you can control the ball, and look for flexi frames. I have not played with a 5G but I'm thinking about getting one. Stringing w/ gut cannot be over stated. It will help...

    Getting ready for the Singles League in North Carolina

    Our league in the east (downeast NC) was hastily thrown together during combo last year. This year they have better dates, but I'm not sure the interest will be there. I hope, I really enjoyed it last year....

    The Fischer Faction!

    yes, lots of spin and I haven't noticed it eating strings any faster than any other frame I've played. BTW, my full gut string job is playing nicely, I finally decided to string at 53.....will see how the tension holds out next time....

    Bluegrass!

    don't forget Doc Watson, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Rhonda Vincent. If you want a really great recording, get "Will the Cricle be Unbroken" vol. 1. Some of the all time great picking recorded. If you are really hooked, go to Merlefest, in Wilkesboro, NC. This is Doc's fling and every...

    The Fischer Faction!

    I thinking of trying a full set of VS for my mspeed. Any reccommendations on tension? Been using micro 18 at 52-56 (depending on the temp). I'm leaning toward starting out on the low end....

    Full set of gut better at lower tensions?

    is there anything you like about Klip over Babolat gut beyond the price?
