    Klippermate wingnut

    So a wingnut's wing broke. I guess I don't know my own strength :twisted: Does anyone know the wingnut's size to replace it. I'm not too keen on paying $1.50 plus $5 shipping for a nut. More specifically is this a standard wingnut that I can find at a Lowes? Home Depot? Machine shop?

    Yonex Ai 98: tell me more about her

    I?m not necessarily looking for a change in racquets but this thread has piqued my curiosity.   I hit with thee Babolat pure storm LTD(bumblebee). I have been using it since 2008. I love it and feel I hit well with it(4.0). I have a fast swing and the racquet just places balls near the baseline...

    Has anyone come across anyone who uses three strings in their racquets?

    I hit with a fellow who strings two different strings in his crosses? The top third of his racquet has one type of string and the bottom two thirds has another type. He uses one of the head black and gray racquets with a fan pattern that you can find at acadamy.

    ****the Pure Storm LTD Support Group****

    I just wanted to leave a public service message to the PSL stalwarts. I ordered grommets for the PSL and received half my order for the PSL and the other half for the Pure Control 95. The grommets are identical save the change in color to a dark gray from a light gray. As a long time PSL...

    Great Deal Today

    Congrats..it feels like my area is not tennis crazy so I don't feel like my craigslist has much of a tennis gear selection. If you decide to put them on sale I sure would be interested in the gamma reel. I haven't been stringing too long but my first and only gamma challenger 17g reel is running...

    Talk me out of replacing my klippermate

    Since my question was with the caveat that I am happy with my kmate...but am curious about the green grass on the other side, I thought the gamma x-6fc had what I am curious about...fixed clamps. But who am I kidding I would love an electric tensioner as well. Though I haven't looked at any with...

    Talk me out of replacing my klippermate

    Lots of good info and ideas. I guess I should add that I've had my klippermate for well over a year. I found it on Craigslist for $60. It was practically new. It even came with all but one of the included string sets. I have it on ..what I think is a custodian cart..actually it may be the carts...

    Talk me out of replacing my klippermate

    I love it. I only string for myself and a couple of friends. I average 2-3 racquets a month. But I can't help wondering what its like to have fixed clamps and even an electric tensioned. I've been looking at a gamma x-6 fc. Mainly for the fixed clamps....but also because if I'm not mistaken...

    'Racquet Tune' I've just downloaded this app and it is incredible!

    I used it yesterday on my freshly strung babolat PSLs. I strung them with full 17g synth gut(gamma challenger & Wilson stamina). Out of curiosity I decided to string 1@49lbs and 2nd@48lbs. Racquettune gave me tension of 48.7lbs and 47.8lbs, respectively(taking multiple readings). I was very...

    Does anyone use Bluetooth headphones while playing?

    I don't speak much while playing and sometimes i feel like listening to The Ticket(1310) for my daily dose of sports/guy talk. I've tried using corded in-ear headphones but find the phone in my pocket distracting. I should say I only try it during winter as I can easily slip my phone in my...

    Staple Gun

    I recently replaced the leather grip on my babolat pure storm Ltd. While i didn't have too much trouble, being left handed forced me to cut an angle to begin the job and thus didn't have a clean start. Are there any tips any one may know of for left handed grips?

    ****the Pure Storm LTD Support Group****

    I think there had been a post or two going over the difference between any two of the various models however can someone post the difference between the 3 models? I play with the original 'bumblebee' model and feel I will eventually find it difficult to find this model which I happen to love...

    ****the Pure Storm LTD Support Group****

    I have been using the psl since 2008. I have felt improvements in my game over the years. However in the past month I have felt like I have taken a large step in my game. I'm not sure what I can attribute it to. I feel like my last string job is the main change in anything I normally do. I...

    ***Dunlop 4D 200 Tour*** Club!!

    I felt a bit more control. But I think it had to do with the adjustment to the different weight and being more conscious of preparing early and stepping into my shots. The added weight certainly makes the Tour more stable overall. It certainly has a larger sweet spot and I didn't feel to mishit...

    ***Dunlop 4D 200 Tour*** Club!!

    It was pure chance that I came across the TW deal last week. I actually have not been looking to get new racquets. I hit with Babolat Pure Storm LTD. and am very happy with them. I have been curious though about a less dense stringbed as I sometimes hit with my wilson Prostaff 6.1 Classic...
