    Rafa's Aeropro Drive GT Stick

    Couldn't Figure It Out... I have hit for about three days with the Nadal racquet and I cannot get it to work for me. I'm sticking with my Pure Storm GT. It's funny how some racquets just work for me and others don't.

    VS 17 Crosses and Lux ALU Rough Mains I use VS 17 (59 lbs.) in the crosses and Lux ALU Rough (62 lbs.) in the mains and I couldn't imagine using any other set up. The feel is incredible and the topspin I'm able to generate is awesome! I use a Babolat Pure Storm GT. A friend tried my racquet...

    2008 Year End No.2 of the World - Take II

    It's The First Tournament of The Year... Yes there have been a few minor tournaments prior to AO but lets not get carried away and concede the hard courts to Djokovic and all the clay to Nadal. There is a lot of tennis remaining and while Federer has shown some chinks in his armour its a safe...

    We've heard the critics, where's the praise for Sharapova?

    Masha Was Excellent This is why critics so often are seen as little, insignificant people. Masha had a great run through the AO08, won the championship and is a hot little minky to boot. She deserves all the praise she gets and no criticism for Australia in 08. Congratulations to Masha! :mrgreen:

    I Love My Backhand My one handed backhand IS a solid backhand. Down the line, cross court, slice drop shot or top spin rip...it doesn't matter. Score the point, 15-Luv Tennis-Chris!!!:mrgreen:

    Mixed Doubles: Are Men and Women Different?

    As Stated Earlier... I don't see it as a gender issue either. If I get burned up the line on a return of serve I just know that I that I am cheating to the middle too much. In doubles, if they send it down the line early it just changes the orientation of the court for me, which I see as a big...

    Love The Serve and Volley Game... I love to serve and volley but there are some really good baseliners with an excellent return of serve out there today who make it hard to get to the net. :mrgreen:

    Nadal gets a whooping

    Youzhney v. Nadal I know Rafa had a long match the day before but did anyone notice if he appeared injured or not? Even if he were tired I would think Rafa would take more than one game in a match off Youzhney. Hopefully this is nothing more than being tired from the day before and a big...

    How do you get a girl to like you?

    Four Pearls... First off Husky, posting online is a lot more anonymous than the old way of having to ask someone face to face this type of advice. I say use the tools at hand. Second, if she is your friend then she already likes you. Just be careful that you don't fall too deep into the...

    Happy Days When The Successful Fall...

    It is almost with glee that some people celebrate the failure of others. Why? Is it because of their success at their chosen profession? Is it because we perceive that we do not like a certain person? Is this dislike based on a single interaction or press reports? I really hope that I am not...

    Mixed Doubles question

    That's The Way It Is I played in an 8.0 mixed doubles league last year and the women absolutely received the lions share of shots. Definitely between 70 and 80%. I did not let up on my serve and I hit to the female whenever possible. In the few cases where the male was the weaker of the two...

    How useful would a blackberry be for a college student?

    I had a Blackberry for work and the phone, calendar and email functions are excellent. The internet portion is useless (IMO). If a blackberry is your price range I would look at something like the iPhone. I just bought one and it is an excellent tool. :mrgreen:

    Alternative Medicine?
