Tennis Warehouse-Mid Atlantic Chapter

[sapient007]

dats. quick review on the 2 beers you've got. i've been curious to get one.

[JRstriker12]

Good hitting guys.

If you want, I can line up something for the second week of Jan (Monday or Tues) - but it will be night owl (10-11:30) and there will be guest fees. Let me know.

D_C, I was wondering where you went. Maybe it was good I didn't know. <John Witherspoon> don't go in there for another 30 minutes</John Witherspoon>. Nice serving. You were blazing that serve with the "secret" k-blade.

Tennismonkey - WHY!? WHY!?!?!? do you keep going back to Dunlops? You know what you are going to get - an average stick that doesn't do anything great but doesn't do anything that bad either. Dunlops are like the instant oatmeal of the racket world. Keep one O-Zone in your bag at all times. All other rackets are swapable. BTW- The MG PP's feel sweet with a full MT17 string job.

Auzzie - Thanks for partnering up with me. It cracked me up when you were talking to yourself about footwork - I'm like footwork? What's that? As for the sticks. I don't think Babolat is your brand, plus it takes a while at adjust to any stick.

Ugh - does anyone know where I can buy a backhand return of serve?

[PaulMan]

JRS, D_C still bombing that serve with those 19s huh? daaaayyyyymmmnn!

Agreed on the footwork...there's footwork in tennis? Can someone show me how that's done?

As for me, do they sell forehand return of serves wherever they sell that backhand ros? Thanks!

[PaulMan]

Also JRS, MT17 is so much nicer and softer than the 16 but doesn't last at all for me. Couple of hours???

I'm using string savers. With string savers, I can get about 13.5 hours out of a full set of MT17. Works for me.

Yeah. The sound he gets off that serve is sick.

Do you string lower tension to comepnstae for the savers? Have you noticed any differecen in feel with the string savers? Ive always been curious of those things but never tried them. I think it would help with my Bi-phase mains red code crosses set up last a tad longer.

Set something up on a weekend or somethig and ill try to get down to slug a few balls.

Auzzie Ill even hit outside as long as I dont have to serve. My shoulder does not like serving in the cold.

[PaulMan]

Even with string savers, 13.5 hrs is really impressive for the MT17. I could see that with the 16 but 17? Wow, very nice indeed.

[PaulMan]

To me, the string savers do make it feel different especially if you have a lot of them in the bed. Those little plastic string savers lessen the feel a little and make the strings feel...plasticky??? lol

I've noticed that the string bed is a little stiffer, which isn't a bad thing since I'm playing with full multi. I don't want it too stiff, so I don't put them at every junction, I alternate to every other one.

Keep in mind, you dont have to put them everywhere, you could even just put them in the places where you will know they will break.

I tried dropping the tension a little, but I think I'm going to bring it back to my standard 55lbs.

Yeah we are starting to have a nice little cohesive team unit forming... at least when I have a Donnay in my hand, D_C gets bored of acing us, and TM isn't laughing at how silly he is making us look.

We could get a nice little frosty mini meet forming. Let's see how many frames we can have sitting at the side of the court.

BTW: Thought it was funny when, A.Y. stopped by the court, and saw the 7 frames on the court chair, and knew they were all mine...

[downs_chris]

that guy with the pure storms, took jrstriker's racquet and strung it in about 7 minutes...i was impressed...

LOL! Yeah A.Y. is on point. FRC has a nice set-up with an electronic tensioning head.

He has a good tennis game too.

LOL @ A.Y. comment.

BTW- I didn't hear much Tennismonkey giggling since he was hitting with his oatmeal sticks... He did catch me on the one DTL slice return. Too good...

[downs_chris]

auzzie, you still have the short POG left? The blacked out one? I might want to try to hit with that (again) next time...

[auzzieizm]

yeah i might actually keep that one... and the 28 in one, but the 27.5 ones are all sold.

... next up on the chopping block may be the C10's

that was short lived! hopefully my PB10 MP gets here soon...i'm also thinking about trying the tfight 320 again...haha

[tennismonkey]

auzzie -- sorry. i'm on vaca this week and i got stuck with a honey do list today. tomorrow or thurs works for me regarding ice bowl tennis. also made a trip to home depot. may play plastic surgeon with silicone.

jrs -- my giggling at others expense was not in full effect. had far more problems worrying about my own game or lack thereof.

chris -- i'd like to clock your serve. don't know if you noticed but i was pretty much standing on the service line when you served. self preservation.

[auzzieizm]

how does the aerogel 4d 300 tour compare to the radicals or your 300s from last night??
