mr. jrk - easy for you to post that with all of your MMA training and daily gym trips. i have ZERO motivation and haven't seen the gym since the last big blizzard! oooh BLIZZARDS... those are good. maybe ill go to DQ!
sigh... i know motivation must come from within.
i tried to buy some on **** but i got skammed again. farq
Just watch the last Rocky movie (the one where he's old) a few times. That'll get you pumped. Or watch Warrior, it's like the modern age Rocky.

You'll have even less motivation when the kid comes.

should be similar, which means way more than necessary... but blxXxpo feels more solid to me. it is a great stick but to control that power you have to swing really fast so it helps to be confident and be moving well and setting up early just like a heavy racquet. but it is nice to know if you have a little space you can crush it past your opponent and have it stick in the fence.

agreed...i hit with the newer exxxtreme (not the 2.0) and it was powerful, but it had trouble against heavy hitters...blx pro open can handle the pace...

what's for dinner peoples?

BLX Pro sounds like a nice stick! Is it like a Aero Pro clone?

dinner is clay pot rice with chicken, ginger, and chinese sausage (sap & HW, insert your punchline here...) =P

So addicted in making this now, cause i have the small lacquered clay pots. I got one of them from the Korean Supermarkets. And I learned how to make rice from it now. Great portion control. Kinda like a personal pan pizza but rice instead.

Speaking for racquets, has anyone played with a St. Vincent or Chicago version of the pro staff before? I was curious why it is so sought after and demand such a high price? Is it cause it's rare?

2 - what's for lunch people? i'm thinking banh mi but there isn't a place really close to work. may have to trek a bit.

1 - 2012 blx 6.1 team -- i thought it looked nice in my hand...but it just played kind of bad...didn't feel like it did anything...the other two frames, i'm unsure about!

2 - i need some ideas...

1 - Dont know nothing about any of them frames. But I had to pick without demoing, I would take the BB. Ot looks cooler, and though Ive never hit a BB I always liked the feel of Volkl, and not so much Wilson. Of course things have changed so Im really 0 help.

2- Fettucine Alfredo and salad and banana and spinich

IIRC - Pete preferred the pro staffs made in St. Vincent, I think he felt they were made better or had better feel. He bought their whole inventory of rackets from Wilson before the factory was shut down.

1. Tour looks cool. But it'll be alot different than your EXO Tour's. It's close to even balance so ur volleys and serves is definitely going to feel different. You're probably going to love groundstrokes alot more. London is good. It'll play more like your EXO. And it's pretty customizable bcz it's pretty light. (11.1 oz I think) My last one is in a nicer home now where it'll be free from pressures of a 3 racquet home.

2. Thinking about Kohinoor Dhaba. I used to go there weekly. If you love Butter Chicken, you should check out their buffet. Another no-frills place. But their food (buffet) is excellent!
