Which btw, I went back to a one hander, working out, and am finally feeling a lot better (Sun power system activate). I shall return to my 3.5 status and care about tennis again. However drinking is fundamental for sustain the mojo.

p.s. for those who are into strength training. My UFC friend put me onto this stuff and I stopped using it last year when "the dark days" began. We'll I got some yesterday and am super eager to start using it. Let's get Jack3d.

Chris_Downs .. did you ever get to try it out?

Is that the stuff Carrot Top is on?

Wookie. Steelers going to win the superbowl? Is Serena faking an injury to avoid a drug test ala what the rumors are stating? If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it... do I get 10 pts toward my section ranking instantly? Please pass the salt.

That mod would not work. I'd just sit on the bench next to my waffle iron.

Please do tell about the lead/grip mod for the one-handers.

Steelers? Maybe, haven't been watching too much NFL, gets in the way of all that Dora The Explorer and Tinkerbell the Lost Treasure that Baby B like to watch.

Serena faking? Can't they still test you, even if you are injured?

On the last question - yes!

Placebo effect? Saw a TW thread about those things. Apparently TW is no longer going to sell them (after running out of stock) because the company is making false claims.

I don't believe it, but we'll see how your game is with those POGLB 27s. If you hit them remotely as well as those 19s, I may give you the benefit of the doubt! I do know you wanted to find a flexy, open patterned MP that you could control and serve bombs with. Seems to fit your criteria, so we shall see...

Sup2Dresq · 01-05-2011, 08:27 AM

The magician, who posts on tw, placed the lead above the natural hand grip line and less under the cap. tried it myself and felt better than the standard lead under the cap. also helped like dampner I felt.

Well, only if she quickly develops guns and game like your girl, Serena. But, somehow I doubt that's happening...rofl

ESPN E60 did a special about those power balance thingies put them on all kinds of atheletes and what not. Some had the power balance others just had rubber bands. All did better than with nothing but the PB was no different than the Rubber band. They have NBA guys endorsing these things.

One of the players when asked if it makes a difference said somehting to the tune of if they pay me to wear these things as long as the keep paying me it will make adifference. A couple other dudes just said they look cool and I get paid towear them. Comlpete sham those things.

Plus Womes basketball teams wear them so that should show you whats up with them right there.

Sup2Dresq · 01-05-2011, 11:46 AM

So it's kind of like racquet paintjobs and tennis technology. pros endorse it but most don't use it.

Wilt kept those rubber bands there in cse he had to bang like 50 chics after the game. he let the blood flow to his johnson then you put the rubber bands over it so the blood stays in there. That way it stays up the whole time. The rubber band was the orginal viargra

So thats what those things are for...

In Montreal (a must-visit trip for obvious reasons) they sell C-o-C-k rings inthe bathroom dispensers, next to the advil and chewing gum, funny though, no rubs in the vending machine...

Clean city...

Happy birthday to me,

You may now return to your talk of leather grips and c*ck rings.

I wish I could find these shoes when my lottos wear out.

But I dont think they ever released them in the US. Although the Bird does have the new speed pros and speed starts they dont look too bad. But the speed pros seemed to have changed quite a bit. May have to swing in there and try em on.

hollywood9826 · 01-05-2011, 05:20 PM

these would not be too bad either. But I never saw them aroud either.
