No, Ive still been playing. Currently deciding which I like better out of BHB7 and Genesis Typhoon. The Typhoon feels amazing, but I feel like I have more control with the BHB7 at the same tension. I did get a Wise tension head awhile back too and that was worth every penny.

The brake on my machine (Alpha Blu) is all messed up though. A guest was stringing the the handle assembly came off and I haven't been able to set it back up correctly since. I don't really use it, but if there are any TWMACers that are experts on Alpha machine disc brakes, I can offer beer and tennis string for assistance

Yeah, the lack of sleep thing is a killer, although Rio never slept either (and still doesn't) so I haven't really slept since 2010. I'm convinced that adults only really need 3-4 hours of sleep max. I got 3.75 hours in last night and I feeeeeel Greeeaaattt!

Anyone playing on Monday? It's a holiday and it's going to be in the 60's...

On a side note, i just put an extra overwrap on my Ki5x. It feels alot ligher now. Maybe PK grips run smaller?

IMHO you reach a level of a lack of sleep where feeling great is part of the delusion.

I was working on my Masters when we had Bri. Looking back, not sure how I did it. Mostly had starbucks on an IV drip.

I think any snow that is happening...is happening right now, north of us. Mom and sis report snow in PA.

So the weather won't save you TM!!!

Last time I checked, JRK was still playing Halo 4

We need a TWMAC kids mini-meet + food and baby sitters.

Last week - Got pushed from the 4.0/4.5 drill to the next court over which is solid 4.0 with a mix of 3.5 - (I was sneaking in to fill in empty class slots- the instructor is cool- but the class was full last week) man funny how seeing a junky 3.5 ball after seeing clean, well-hit 4.5 ball can throw you off.

Dats what did you get?

Hit with auzzie yesterday - he hasn't lost a step. If anything, he's gotten way better. I had trouble keeping up.

Even though last match I played great and more importantly no wrist pain with blxproopens, I got IG speeds cuz they are so easy for me to use. Maybe less winners but way more control... It would be great to test them against a worthy opponent to see which I feel better using.
Probably blxpros on serve and IG on returns. Har
