I was a 3.5, slumped all the way to a 2.9 and have scratched myself back to about 3.3, but I can serve. Well. Just not consistently well, but enough for 5-10 aces a match.

Using the same set-up (X-cel at 56lbs) as the 2012 Pure Drive, the V1 beats the Babolat in every category, except in a slice dropshot. I could drop it perfectly with the PD, where with the Volkl...

The shorts, hats and wristbands look nice enough, but yeah, the shirts are not my taste. Maybe I could see myself in the white City crew, that's about it.

Don't think it's the Babolat. The new Wilsons, both Steam and Blade, are selling like crazy around here right now. I think the Steam may be the best seller at the moment.

Cool. I like a thick sock, so I might try them out on my next purchase, but the Barricades sound really good, too. Any good socks that would also fall in the 'good value' category?
