I'm wondering if I should try to get us a 3rd court?

We have:
Xisbum
Topaz
Schmad
Magmasilk
JRK
JJJosh
MrsJJJosh
PPL
MrHan (?)
Zapvor (?)
Skunk (? - haven't heard back)
JRK's friend (have you heard back?)

Hmmm, you know what, I'll call and see if I can get a 3rd, and ask them if it is ok if I cancel it tomorrow morning.

Wow, when did the list blow up? Last I saw, we had about 4 peeps coming. Good work, Lady Topaz.
P.S. I wanna play some dubs; need to practice my new serve-and-volley strategy, hahaha.

SPOILER ALERT: I will be wearing pink, and apparel duplication apparently bothers Mr. JRK. Hmmmm. Thought that was a feminine thing. Won't bother me a bit if you also wear pink, although you will look better in it than I will. Play better in it, too, for that matter. That doesn't bother me, either.

Skunk texted me, I don't think she will be able to make it.

I haven't heard back from Dave yet.

I won't be wearing the pink shirt on Saturday so we are good to go.

Thanks for coming out to the clinic. Shcmad why you hit so hard .. and flat.. our poor nets took a lot of abuse! TheJRK, you really hit well with that Prince. Smooth as butter.

I was also happy to hit a couple serves against you TheJRK. The first one *cough ace* was nice, but the others helped me get feedback from you. My serve is getting faster again! Progress!

The clinic was great and the hit afterwards was good too. That one Korean lady can hit pretty well... I think she burned Shcmad a few times, LOL.

Nice serving on your part... fast, heavy ball, probably in the low 100's. It was difficult for me to return. I'm used to being the big server, I don't have much practice returning big serves.

BTW, I was dreaming about that Prince racket all night... if you can swing a deal on that bad boy, I'd get a few of them.

[Topaz]

Ok, you know what, I'm not going to reserve a 3rd court. If we find we need one, we can more than likely walk over and pay for one when we get there.

See everyone tomorrow.

[Topaz]

Court reservation is confirmed. They had three other courts available at that time, as well, if we need to pick up a third.

Because these are reserved, please be on time. Thanks.

[ShcMad]

I'd like to thank Sup (Waste Management & Recycling Enterprises) for yesterday's clinic. My body took a toll from all the side-to-side drills. It's hurting even when I'm sitted still. Btw, Sup, you have a tendency to sideswipe at the ball when it comes to impersonating my swing coz I never do that. Plus, when do you ever see me overrotating after a forehand? LOL.

JRK, you hit well with the Davydenko frame. I can foresee a switch in racquet companies in the near future. Btw, that Korean lady ain't got nothin' on me! I was just letting her hit a few winners to boost her confidence. LOL.


Thanks for reserving the courts, Topiary. Will get there on time (barring unforeseen circumstances -- such as the time when it took me 50 minutes to drive 2 miles due to nighttime road work on 66)

Glad to see the JJjoshes and PPL on the list. I guess this will be my last hit with them before I head back to school.

Prince Ozone Tour... me wants it!!!!

Sup Price: $118, the pro tour version $115, and the ignite: $130

Like I told Dats with the T320s,... "why don't you test drive it a while.. before you pull the trigger".

Though you really did hit smoothly, no brash epileptic seizure or shcmad kind of convulsions... you hit with some authority as well and deep!

Probably cause the racquet has such a smooth HUGE sweet spot. Open string pattern as well.



Specs:
Head Size:
100 sq. in. / 645 sq. cm. Length: 27 inches / 69 cm Strung Weight: 11.5oz / 326g Balance: 6pts Head Light Swingweight: 321 Stiffness: 60 Beam Width: 18-20-18 mm Tapered Beam Composition: Carbon Wave Matrix Constructions Power Level: Low Swing Speed: Fast Grip Type: DuraPro+
String Pattern:
16 Mains / 18 Crosses
Mains skip: 8T,8H
One Piece
No shared holes String Tension: 53-63 pounds

The same PRO version of the racquet:

Seems to have a tighter pattern

Head Size:
100 sq. in. / 645 sq. cm. Length: 27 inches / 69 cm Strung Weight: 12.1oz / 343g Balance: 7pts Head Light Swingweight: 324 Stiffness: 65 Beam Width: 18-20-18 mm Tapered Beam Composition: Carbon Wave Matrix Constructions Power Level: Low Swing Speed: Fast Grip Type: DuraPro+ String Pattern:
18 Mains / 20 Crosses
Mains skip: 8T,10T,8H,10H
Two Piece
No shared holes String Tension: 53-63 pounds

Why not also try the Prince EXO3 Ignite Team.. okay maybe its me who wants to test it out.. just for kicks.. but still. Doesn't look like a 95.



Head Size:
95 sq. in. / 612.9 sq. cm. Length: 27 inches / 68.58 cm Strung Weight: 11oz / 311.84g Balance: 1 pts Head Light Swingweight: 334 Stiffness: 67 Beam Width: 22mm/22mm/22mm Composition: 100% Graphite Power Level: Low Swing Speed: Fast Grip Type: ResiPro String Pattern:

Don't forget the awesome bag you can get too! Be a playa like Monfils or just crush a lot like Shcmad!

Oooh yeah, that's the one. With the first hit I would've thought the flex on that thing was 35. It felt like I was catching the ball in a net and just flinging back. "Test drive" meh, the wife spends $300 a pop on her hair every 2 months. I think I can get some rackets that will last me longer than that.

I like that bag too... I was actually looking to get a new bag. I was checking out the new Head bags since that's all I have... but if I had some new Prince rackets, well then I'd have more options to choose from.

I saw you got the new yellow 1.3s now I think I'll pick up those red and black vapors so we don't end up wearing the same shoes at the same time.

[datsveryinterestin]

watching davydenko hit backhands makes me want to get one o' them jobbies! send it to bosworth to make em 28" long!

i went out to hit yesterday and my racquets felt like foreign objects. could've been dead strings, but i think it is the YY disease corrupting my brain. they felt like strangers. hrmmm. might have to order a used one for an extended demo.

Too late. Put my order in this morning for the black vapor. I wouldn't fight the "hope Sup doesn't get that nike" battle. I would just go with the "I hope Sup doesn't wear that nike out" fight.

I am itching for the new vapors Fed is wearing now. Heard they are coming out soon!

You bamma! That's it, I'm switching to the Quicksilver gear... at least it combines my two favorite sports, surfing and tennis.

Seriously though, I was just about to order those shoes.
