maybe one o these is my holiest of grails
i took my blx pro open out today and at times it hits these monster serves and has tons of spin on groundies but sometimes feels like a club and very sluggish. i dunno, sometimes i just like a really heavy, headlight racquet... at least while practicing! the blxproopen really seems to kill my wrist too but maybe any racquet does that.
hopefully the demo helps me make up my mind at least.
hope the weather is nice next week. usually a tw demo order means 3 weeks of 50mph winds and nonstop rain. eeeeeps

auzzie: please come to kenmore courts next tuesday and thursday for 4 hour hits. thanks!

i'll show up if you ordered the correct string pattern of the Six.One 95...

Baby S hitting yet?

datsveryinterestin · 10-04-2012, 03:06 PM

i think there is only one string pattern of this stick...
http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Wils...SON-WPS95.html

the red/white ones with the thicker beams have 2 string patterns... i've played those before and like them but i wanted to try the thinner 18mm frame.
chalk it up to some stupidly confusing naming scheme by wilson. much clearer to say STEAM or JUICE. but doesn't mean it doesn't sound dumb!

okay. was about to call you today as well. Daughter is sick and grandparents are coming in about an hour. Can we play later today. n/m. We can play another day. When's good for you?

sapient007 · 10-05-2012, 05:45 AM

TM and i were somehow talking about modern day flamethrowers and how far they can shoot

as opposed to the WWII style throwers

What's everyone's plan for the weekend? Anyone hitting? How about Monday?

My MMA instructor has a fight this Saturday so no practice for me on Saturday or Monday... I need to do something.

Tennis?
Borderlands marathon?

Anyone like to shoot guns? I have lots of guns. I think it would be hilarious to see Sappy shoot one of my AR-15's.

sapient007 · 10-05-2012, 06:49 AM

just txt-ed dats.. the wife wants me out of the house on sat. i'm up for something. i'd be down for shooting as well.

Dats, didn't know you wanted to try that ps95 out. I've had for a while & it's not as whippy/HL as the TW numbers suggest.

kind of plays stiff...body was sore after hitting with it...

datsveryinterestin · 10-05-2012, 09:15 AM

dood, my wrist is all blowed up from yesterdays serving extravaganza.
i think i should put the racquets away for the weekend so i will be able to use my demos when the arrive. i can hit backhands still though.

i threw the wilson in there last.. it was either that, or a prince exo tour, or a donnay gold99. anyway, i really like the head grip shape so i hope one of the prestiges work out or that i click again with the igSPEED.

i might not be able to play tennis anymore with this wrist pain. so it will just be to hang on the wall and tell stories about all my krushing viktorieez agianst the Oz-man!

sapient007 · 10-05-2012, 09:45 AM

dats, you want me to get you one of these widgets to make your wrist stronger?? side note.. what's going on sat.

datsveryinterestin · 10-05-2012, 10:06 AM

i think it might be from "shake-weight overuse" if ya know wut i mean!

sheet man, i dunno. we could shoot some guns, shoot some hoops, and shoot some heroin. sounds like a full day to me! or we just hit up the rei clearance rack and go get jamba juices and maybe a mani-pedi. i dunno. wuteva u prefer

wut time are u thinkin bout? lately ive been staying up til 4am and not getting up before noon. but with advance notice i can adjust that a little bit.
