ooh. new yonex toys. like the candy cane color schemes too. v-core 98D looks nice to me. super tweener. but i will not be swayed to cheat.

don't switch just yet dats. i think you just need to hit more. you have such a complex game that you need to log lots of hours to hone your game to a sharp edge.

just changed the balance of my XxXtremes from 11.7and 4pts HH to 11.9 and around 6pts HL
maybe they will feel better? dunno, but lead and silicone are cheaper than new racquets!

----
update!
---
took new and improved "super XxXtremo" out and tried some serves. i think i will like the head light balance. will do wonders for my complex game! unfortunately, in my hurry to test the new setup, i smacked the racquet on my screen door and it now has a chip. FARK!
oh wellzer. FH and BH might be a little whippy if i had to play now, but hopefully i can retune those strokes in warmer weather. i swear some of my serves might have had a little kick! <<shock>>

I ahve often time thought of changin the balance of my sticks. But they bee ot heavy I think. the 12pts HL that I have is probably the only reason I can wield the clubs.

HW, I would agree that 10 points minimum would be required on your 13 ounce 27.25 sticks, otherwise they would most likely be a bit too slow with a swing weight of over 360. So at 12 points HL, my guess is that it's probably around 340-345 swing weight.

- I want to buy a few sets of that Gaucho and Isospeed. What's your price?

My current set is still good (Gut is moving a bit more, but its not frayed much), but I want to have a few sets in reserve.

Sappy,

Looks like Topaz can't make it this weekend. If you want to tag along this weekend with me, let me know. However, I get on the blues and blacks.

That photo was taken at Green Spring RC, right in front of the racquet ball court, and next to tennis court 12, isn't it?

JRs, good to hear that it seems to be working pretty well for you. How many hours do you have so far on that string job?

I'll see if I have any sets of Isospeed Pro Classic left when I get home. If not, you can buy 5 or 6 sets of it for $9 from TW and you can trade me for some sets of the Gaucho. It's usually $10 if bought individually or if you buy 10 or over, it's $8 per. For the most part through different times and folks, I got my Gaucho for around $10 or $11 a set.

that'd be hot air.

i'm estimating a velocity of 70MPH (assuming slope of 0 degrees) for hwood to have that much air. which also happens to be the same velocity for a 747 during take off or marty mcfly to start his time machine
