Thank you, Mikeler!

Low Tension Full Poly vs Poly/Syn Hybrid

I've been stringing in the low 40s with Tourna Big Hitter Black 7, and really like the action and pocketing I get on the ball.

How would a BHB7/Gosen OSGM compare? Can I string a hybrid with...

Yes, it is a High Beam. I think that keeps me from liking it as much as my current Wilson BLX 6.1 95, or (recent) past Head YT Speed MP 16x19.

Wilson Sting 95

So, what are the thoughts on the Wilson Sting 95? I just pulled my old one (mid nineties) out and put some fresh string and a new grip on it. It's got a great heft and plow through.

I have the BLX Super 6 pack in Yellow/Black.

Love it! It's got all kinds of room. I couldn't imagine needing more room unless you're carrying more than 3-4 racquets. Holding up well.

Looks similar to the Ektelon DE I picked up off the list by craig. About the same age too I'd suspect. I wonder if the H Model upgrade would work on yours as it looks so similar.

So, I've used a few different activity/diet tracking applications to monitor calories in/calories out. I'm always put off by the numbers they come up with for tennis as an exercise.
