As much as I want to say that this thread is not for this sort of discussion, I have to throw Cibulkova into this. I mean, come on:

I leave for a few hours and at this tired hour, I can only appreciate a hot chick. Thank goodness I still have my priorities.

I'm of the opinion that there's no such thing as a thread "not for this sort of discussion," but it's your thread so I'll defer to you lol.

That being said, Dominika is very well received in this discussion.

I call your Vesnina and raise you a Alona Bondarenko, and a Golovin.

I like where this is going. I'll call. Sorana Cirstea and Petra Cetkovska.

The Isospeed/OGSM hybrid will be ready for test by this weekend, I anticipate. Stay tuned.

Man, I'm really liking this thread right now. Every time I click on it, the first thing I see is Cibulkova

I saw a few SMOKING girls on the practice courts whom I did not recognize. One was an extremely tall, blond girl with legs that went on forever using a Wilson BLX racket. She looked like a 6'2" version of Ashley Harkleroad. I also watched Cibulkova practice like a maniac. Let me tell you something. If she were your GF, you ain't gonna have any leg energy left for your matches. Your opponents will have a lot of walkovers.

Finally I saw Tony Roche coaching a young guy I didn't recognize. They were both hitting with YT Radicals. MY GOODNESS! This young stud was ABSOLUTELY CRUSHING the ball at Roche and he just blocked it back like it was a 3.0 puff ball. This 66 yo man is UNBELIEVABLY impressive. The crowd was gasping at the way he was moving the young guy all over the court with his volleys.

That just goes to show that there's a massive mark up on the strings, and that they're overpriced to begin with.

As for your second sentence, that's a pretty silly and inaccurate generalization.

L-Tec and their distributors have already done that themselves with their shabby marketing practices, secret sauce string methods, and over the top claims.

Every time you say "secret sauce," Torres, it reminds me of the "soy sauce" in John Dies at the End.

Cool. But BHBR 16 is actually the one to go for, not the 17, as its noticeably better and offers more control (unless of course you swing a Big Bubba, have funny arms, or have strung too low).

Has anybody tried using the Jet method with any other poly string? I think an interesting play test would be to test something like Tornado using this method and see if there is a difference.

there is a difference. I strung up BHBR 16 awhile back mini jet at 47. and another racker fast pull no wait stringing at 47. the jet was stiffer off the stringer. and lasted longer. it pulls all the slack out of the string because you wait for it to stretch. Jet also didn't go dead as fast. The fast pull seemed to be fine then lost too much tension then went dead sooner. I tried the same with RPM 16 on 2 rackets. Same results.

lol. I like all the inside jokes people have here. I like the BHBR16 actually. Much better than 17.
