    TF X-1 17 vs Gosen OGM 17 Tension?

    Thanks! In the RSI review, they also indicated that a pre-stretch was done. The RSI testing data will not always reflect what you will encounter on the court, in my experience. Any feeback on the red vs nat?

    TF X-1 17 vs Gosen OGM 17 Tension?

    Two questions. If moving from Gosen OGM 17 Nat to TF X-1 17 Nat, would you vary tension? Does the nat version of X-1 17 play differently than the X-1 17 red? Does one have to vary tension in this case. Thanks so much for your input.

    Serena 'mehh' looking, will win Wimbledon

    Serena is ugly inside and out. Both sisters are classless. Their post match interviews after losses are the true level of their lack of class.

    Prince Tripple Treat Scream MP

    I would think it would be a great frame for a 2.5 up to 4.5. It is on the lighter side and could be modified as you improved. Very solid frame. No real weaknesses. Great tweener. You got a very good deal indeed. Frame sold for $169.00 or so brand new in its day. Part of the Prince Triple...

    Gamma Advantage 15L G - similar string?

    The string is still being made. TW does not carry it but other retailers do. http://www.gammasports.com/gamma.cfm?product=39 It is a very good buy @ appox. $25.00/reel

    "prestrung" string in Microgel Radical MP

    I have also seen both. Most have had Head PPS 16 as stated. In any case, I would not play the string under any conditions. Cut it out and install fresh. Your arm and game will thank you.

    Name the mystery string

    You indicated it is a poly, but it does look like ISOSPEED Professional or Control. Both of these strings will notch and really lock in. The color of these strings are amber/yellow in color very translucent. ISOSPEED Professional/Control do not look like any other multi out there. They also...

    Why doesn't TW carry Prince Natural Gut?

    Post this question in the TW questions section. If enough folks want the string they will stock it unless there is some legal issue that prevents them from doing so. A year or so back a few folks asked to have Forten Sweet offered in reels. About 2 weeks later there it was. TW is famous for...

    Dunlop 4D 500 Tour vs original AG 500 Tour

    TW has the (measured) specs very close. I have played both and the AG 500Tour is not a SW of 300 compared to the AD 500 Tour of 325. The SW is not 25 points less on the original. It is somewhat difficult to generate power off the ground and serve with an 11 oz, HL, 300 SW frame. Neither frame...

    Are Power Rankings Accurate?

    The Type S and the KI-10 is pretty much the same mold and have very close specs. The RSI power ratings are for static power. A very basic calculation and does not always reflect real power. You would do better to use the TW tools to get a better idea of how a frame might react in play.

    Alternatives to Wilson NXT 17?

    I am told Alpha SPHERE and PRODIGY are very nice multi offerings. Gut 2000 is a lower end multi but gets decent marks on this site.

    Unifibre Natural Gut?

    Pre-stretch before stringing to avoid breaking Pull and release slowly It is not recommended to go over 60 lbs of tension Sounds like a low end, have to be careful with, not to be strung over 60 lbs Nat Gut. I think I have seen this before. Might be a great cross or if you string your...

    Anyone buy a stringer and then was sorry they did?

    Sorry...While I agree that practice and experience are very important. All things being equal, fixed clamps are better than flying clamps. That was my point. Practice and experience are not a feature of a stringing machine. They are a feature of the person doing the stringing. Since you own a...

    Anyone buy a stringer and then was sorry they did?

    Fixed clamps are a more important feature than crank vs dropweight in producing a more consistant string job.

    Anyone buy a stringer and then was sorry they did?

    The convenience factor is major. If do not live near a ProShop you can spend loads of time and gas money making trips to drop off your frame and then have to pick it up two days later. It was major factor for me. Having said that, I do not love to string, but try to do it while doing...

    How old is the pro kennex graphite performer 95????

    I would say the frame is 25-30 years old. Worth maybe $15.00 tops if someone really wanted the frame. ProKennex made so many frames in the 80s with "Graphite" as part of the model name. Most likely a 12.0 oz old school club. Post a pics so the many can comment. I am just guessing BTW.

    Significant balance variance on K90s - could it be the strings?

    Just remove the grip and place lead tape near the buttcap. Replace the grip and off ya go. TW has a nice on-line tool to help with doing this sort of work. You are talking about a 4-6 point difference in bal point. The string can be a factor, but not 4-6 points. You will have to do some...

    Hey Tiffani. (RDS 003)

    Thanks Tiffani, I am sure I will enjoy the RDS 003. Might be the best sale frame TW has to offer right now. Yonex quality control is one of the strong points of their line along with 1st rate construction.

    Swingweight: 315? Tiffani, Did you feel that the SW (Measured by TW) was accurate during playtesting? I have seen the SW listed lower ( 308 ) and was interested in your comments. Many users have reported (as you stated) that they found the frame to be quite whippy. Thanks for the great...

    Racket Quiz..

    TT members that reside in the racket section should do quite well. I was thinking 8/10 for most. Many would ace it. I guessed on one (sweet spot question) but did 10/10. It also took me about 2-3 minutes total.
