Star 5 15, you have a good eye..... Yes, I have a customer who I string for who only will use VS. I string his racquet's every two weeks whether they need it or not. He is retired and plays daily.

Hi zapvor - yeah, the room is in my basement. When my wife and I bought the house, we had the basement done (orig unfinished), but couldn't decide what to do with the room in the picture, so it remained unfinished until about 1.5 months ago. It was my idea, but my father-in-law gets the credit for constructing it. Comes in handy, keeps things neat and organized.

well snap thats most outstanding! thanks for sharing. mind giving us a few tips on how that gets constructed? did he frame the studs differently to do the sunken in look?

COPEY · 09-29-2010, 10:12 PM

Thanks - used 2X6s to frame it out, give it more depth, then slapped a few pieces of pine together, tacked on the peg board, nailed it in, then put up the drywall. I also put in a countertop with 3 drawers (not shown of course). Comes in handy for replacing grips, grommets/bumper guards...and working on computers for family/friends lol. It's not done yet - have to install carpet and mount my tv to the wall...buy another small fridge (gave my old one to one of my students, a college kid), then I'll be all set. I think.

Thanks, much appreciated.

i can see 11 courts. how many do you have? nice!

There are a total of 23 courts (3 hard, 20 har-tru). The Solomon Academy is housed there, as well as several top pros train there throughout the year. To add, there are a few national championships as well as a international championship played there. Of course, there are also some usta local tourneys as well. Great place to live for a tennis maniac.

thanks for the reply. where do you buy a peg board? i was originally going to design a wall pattern to hang all my rackets, but as i add more sticks i would have to reconfigure the pattern, so thats not as feasible....

This is an Alpha Equinox I built with all original parts, with a 2086 for the tensioning system
It was an awesome rig. I loved it.
This pic was taken the day I shipped it to the guy who bought it from me.
2 days after I bough my Star 5
Wonder how long it'll take me to get 120k on mine!!!
