I just burned through my first reel of Solinco Confidential (1.25 mm) after playing Topspin Cyber Flash for the prior 15 years, so I'm in need of another reel. I really like the consistent playability of the Confidential up until it snaps. And though I wouldn't call this string particularly...

Will you sell them? Or recommend someone who does? Specifically referring to the brown cardboard boxes that new TW rackets come in. I am aware of the norm for the folks in the classifieds section around combining two priority shipping boxes. Thanks!

Hey folks, Since I'm quite a bit older, slower, and weaker than I once was, I've been playing with a 2021 PD lately. I used to play Blade 18x20's and Six.One 95 18x20's before this, in part because of string durability. I've found now that I'm breaking a full bed of 1.25mm Solinco Confidential...

Can you folks helps me identify which year this came out? It appears to be an Aeropro Drive GT w/Tungsten. I'm looking for specs (versus what I measure) as well as thoughts on how it compares to current babs.

Has anyone actually been able to measure a Blade Pro versus a V7, with a typical poly? What are the actually differences in strung specs, including swingweight?

Hey guys, Per TW specs, aside from the RA, these rackets have identical specs (see below). I found the Blade to feel super flexy compared to my beloved 6.1's and a little lower powered than I was hoping for. For those who have tried both of these, how does the Bab compare? Just stiffer and...

So here I am, almost 10 years later, and I still haven't found a replacement for my beloved Wilson BLX Six.One 95 18X20. Am I doomed forever? Here are its specs: Swingweight: 338 Strung weight: 351.5 g (with tourna grip & 1.30 mm Cyber Flash full bed, which is about 3g more than a 17 gauge...

Hi All, I've been playing 1.30mm polys since ~2007 or so when I discovered Top Spin Cyber Flash for $63/reel. I also converted at least 20 of my customers to it at the time as I had a bit of a stringing and customization business. As recently as a year ago I revisited the situation, since I...

Hi All, I've been playing with a particular (I was really into it) Wilson BLX 95 18X20 since 2010. After starting to play more starting earlier this year, I began experiencing quite a bit of wrist discomfort early on in hitting sessions. Due to the pain and my curiosity to try new frames, I've...

Hi all, I've had well over 15 pairs of the Prince T-22 Mid's over the past 10 years, and I have no interest in switching shoes. However, it now looks like this shoe is no longer available, and I'm struggling to find any availability in size 10. For all previous T-22 Mid fans, what have you...

Hi all, As a previous user of the various versions of the Six.One 95 18X20 between 2007 and 2012, and recently a user of the RFA97 (which I'm kind of ashamed of) due to lack of a new Six.One option, this new version has caught my eye. Though I'm thoroughly enjoying the RF97A, it's damn heavy...

Hi all, I've been using Topspin Cyber Flash 16g for at least 10 years, though I've played rather infrequently for the past 5. When I chose this stuff in the beginning, I was an avid 4.5 tournament player in college, with my own stringing and customization business. There wasn't a single player...

Hello all, Almost 5 years ago when I was playing frequently and consistently, I used Top Spin Cyberflash 16G exclusively. I used the string for myself as well as for customers and though I'd tried many others in the early days, Cyber Flash was unbeatable because of the cost and performance...

Hello All, Are there any friendly 4.0 or 4.5 players in the area looking to hit and play some sets? I'm 29, was rather obsessed with tennis in my previous life, and am now in search of some new tennis partners here in San Francisco. I used to be quite involved with the tennis scene in Kansas...

Hey guys, Im curious if anyone knows of any free software or good methods for setting up draws for a tennis tournament? Something that will handle scheduling based on open courts, tournament operating hours, and account for two divisions of both singles and doubles. Im about to set up the...

I've been looking to buy a couple of string reels like Cyber Flash 16, Weiss CANNON Silverstring, Big Hitter, etc... And almost everything is out of stock. Actually Cyber Flash 16 doesn't even show up anymore. What gives? Why the low stock on everything?

What do you guys think so far? http://hstrial-briansrackets.intuitwebsites.com/index.html Lot's more to come!

Hello, So, the K95 was/is the best frame I ever found for myself. I played with the K's for about 2 years, but my entire body slowly being ripped to shreds because of its stiffness caught up to me. I've been playing with Prestige Mid's since (next best thing I could find). I finally got my...

It's 0 degrees outside with snow all over the place, so this is the result: Bottle Rocket's Top 15 Albums of 2009 15. Noah and The Whale – “The First Days of Spring” 14. Wild Beasts – “Two Dancers” 13. Glasvegas – “Glasvegas” 12. Muse – “The Resistance” 11. Animal Collective –...

Hey guys, I couldn't resist. I've been playing with the Head Microgel Prestige Mid, but have been in search of a slightly larger frame since I discovered these. I have not been able to find a better frame and have tried a bunch. You can check my reviews on this board in the last few...

Hey Guys, I just went to buy a 30-pack reel of Tournagrip original, and I screwed up. I bought a reel of the "Tac" kind. I ripped it all open and started taking some off before I realized it. I'm one of those guys that cannot use anything other than the original Tournagrip, or I end up...

Dunlop Aerogel 4D 200 (18X20)... My Review. With Pictures! Well, I finally got to hit with my Aerogel 4D 200 which was just strung (by my) with Cyber Flash at 55 lbs. In my search for a relatively soft frame with a tight string pattern, a static weight around 12, and a swingweight between...

I see only the 16X19 version listed on Dunlop's website. I see only the 18X20 version listed for sale on TW. A local shop, tennisset.com , also shows only the 18X20 version as do many other retailers. There is a 16X19 version for sale in the classifieds. Why no retailer tha sells both? Are...

EDIT: Please read my follow-up to this original review a few posts down to get the "final word". I've been playing with the HEAD Prestige Mid for about a month now as part of my quest to find a new frame. I don't care about specs other than flex at this point, I don't have a set of ideal...

Hey guys, Well, there isn't a whole lot of discussion on this frame and its playing characteristics, so I figured I'd put something out there. I'm on a mission to find some arm-friendly replacements for my K95 18X20's. I traded a Microgel Prestige MP for this EXO3 Graphite 100. I strung it up...

I'm looking to get some string tension recommendations for a Microgel Prestige Mid... I'm trying to find an alternative to my K95's for stiffness purposes and thought I was buying the midplus Prestige, but I screwed up and got a mid. I may as well give it a shot before I sell it off, so here I...

Hey Guys, I've been wanting to create a tennis website of my own for a few years now, but until today haven't taken any action to make anything happen. There are common questions that I get asked all the time and I always wish I could say, "Hey, go here. Its all there, you'll find everything...

"blank blank MUST serve & volley.", "If Roddick would learn to come in behind that serve, he'd be in contention for slams.", "Federer's only chance against Nadal is to Serve & Volley." "Blah blah blah blah blah." You hear it all the time. You read it all the time. These statements imply...

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone has any tips, suggestions, recommendations, criticisms, complaints, or concerns, as far as adjusting to different court speeds? I play on a few different hard-courts outside and occasionally I also play on an indoor court when I get invited in. Most of the...

Alright, I posted something similar to this in another thread, but the thread has been taken over by guys who think everything depends on the size of your biceps. I'd love to hear some opinions from the rest of you. I'm sorry if I am annoying anyone by posting this again. This is in response...
