How do you accidentally win something on e-bay?

Oops! I accidentally signed in, searched on something, clicked on a result, entered in a price, then clicked 'confirm', then clicked 'confirm' again!

Damn I hate when that happens

Was it the demo model for $90, 4 3/8 grip, item #390542218303?

I may be living in the "union" according to tennis monkey, but I was thinking the same thing. From now on I'm all about accidents.

- "officer I accidentally went 120mph"
- "usta I accidentally self rated at 5.0. "
-" fund manager, I accidentally put too much money on a dud stock, please refund me"
-" I accidentally fell on your girlfriend several times and can't find my pants"
-"bartender I accidentally have been ordering top shelf vodka all night. I meant the cheap stuff. Please bill me accordingly".

Seriously, the last two had me laughing enough that my office mates looked over at what I was reading.

So, what are you planning on putting in there? If you have gut, I'd go w/ 54lb gut mains & 50-52lb poly crosses, depending on the poly. That 4G you had in your racquet felt nice. Maybe 50lb 4G crosses.

If all poly, then no more than 52lbs. Your probably better w/ 50 in a full poly.

Of course, thats assuming your machine & mine are putting out the same numbers.

NO to full poly with a tender arm.

Haha - too late Mikeler! He's been using full poly for 2-1/2 years plus another year of kevlar/poly hybrid! Of course, he hasn't always played 1-2 matches EVERY DAY for 3 years...just last 2. So...I wonder where that tender arm came from huh?? haha

McLovin, I said to Downs earlier this afternoon that he should string the Pacific up at 54/51.5 or 53.5/51 gut poly hybrid. So today, after happy hour with Downs (before his 10pm match), I picked up one of his Bab PSGT- (get it? haha) to string it up and let him try a hybrid of Pacific Classic 17 at 57/54.5 Lux 1.22.

downs_chris · 02-19-2013, 09:42 PM

haha...yes, paulman and i discussed stringing setups and tennis for a few hours over beer and wings...i love full poly setups...but i want to move away from it...if i can! i love the control...i need it...but i would love to use a gut/poly setup though...

but i'm going to let paulman figure out what i need...i trust him!

zapvor · 02-19-2013, 09:51 PM

yea downs full poly is no good. i think monkey told me if i went full poly to do 40lbs.

tennismonkey · 02-20-2013, 04:09 AM

40 pounds full bed tour bite. think i'm using full bed focus hex at the moment at 46 pounds. definitely a lot more arm comfy than full poly in the 50's or higher. i haven't tried lower than 40 but i am not against it. i need even softer.

PaulMan · 02-20-2013, 04:37 AM

Hey Downs, how was your dubs match after 4 beers?!?? Haha

Well, I have some Co. Focus and Focus Hex Soft we could trade. I believe we talked about some 4G you had?

Also, I have a line on Pacific Classic that comes to ~ $24 per set if interested.

we shall see...your setup was really sweet! paulman suggested timo in the crosses, so i'll give that a try for now...hmm, i don't have any more 4g -- maybe we were talking about trading for some luxilon fluoro? i have one set of pacific classic now to try...i'll put half of it in my pure storm tour, and the other in the pacific...and compare and contrast...how many hours do you get out of your gut / poly setup?

McLovin · 02-20-2013, 05:20 AM

Yes, you're correct, it was Fluoro. I must have been confusing it w/ the 4G you had in your PST (at least I think it was 4G that I hit with).

I get approx 6-8 singles matches, then I cut it out. Other than clay, I've yet to break that setup, and I could easily play longer with it, but I've just developed a rhythm where every 3 weeks I rotate racquets.

First thought when I saw what the eyeglasses can do: cool!

Then I went into 'downs' accident thinking mode:

- the right side is so blinded that I can see a whole population bumping into everything on their right. "Sorry accidentally ran over the curve again"
- one thing to keep my cell phone in my pocket, another thing to stick it near my head for that long. When will they disapprove cell phones don't cause cancer?
"By accident I.. Wait I can't remember..."
-I don't think I own a pair of sunglasses I haven't scratched or broken. These things look as flimsy as your acl. " I accidentally put on my glass in one piece and took them off in two"
