Tennis Warehouse-Mid Atlantic Chapter

[PaulMan]

Dats, those specs from RSI seem a little too light to me, like they strung it with a really thin 18g string or something. Also, most of the flex ratings look to be a bit stiffer - like it would be if it was unstrung. I would trust TW's ratings/listing more though than that of RSI's if there was some discrepancy. You'll obviously find out more what you like as you demo a bunch of those frames you listed...

i wish i didn't want to demo 12-15 sticks, but i just want to try a ton and hopefully one will stick out as the perfect one!
(you might be familiar with this quest?!?!?!???)

although, i might just tinker with the xXxtremes some more, because if i can get 100" headsize and full poly, it should work no matter what the specs as long as i can get my feet in position. a combination of the IG Speed 18x20 and the Pure Storm Tour would be nice. easy swinging but heavy plow feel on impact! wut? i dunno. fark

downs_chris, if it isn't raining this weekend.. i could meet for a hit and i can order 4 of these frames for extended demo session! auz... can you resist???

The RDiS MP's were great frames esp. with BBO in them. What combination of the IG Speed and the PST specs are you looking for, maybe we can add to the demo list!

btw, I cannot resist outside hitting on the weekend. Let me know by textual message if something brews...

maybe if zapvor asks nicely i will post a quick video of my awesomeness! can't make any promises though!.

Post it!

You do have a racquet problem!

Sunday outdoor mini meet weather permitting??????????????

[datsveryinterestin]

yah there was a lot i liked about the rdis100.
especially serving with it.
monkey, do you still have a rdis200?
i want to try that too!

i can play sunday! w00t

[tennismonkey]

sunday: highs in the low 50s. 10% chance of rain.

i'd like to play. i usually play in a practice league sunday afternoon but i'll skip if we got a mini meet.

no rdis 200 dats. just 4 ozone tours. you are welcome to try em out. might be too mushy for you but worth a shot.

[hollywood9826]

50's are too cold for me to drive way down there. Ill just play disc golf in morning like every other sundee.

When it gets nicer I'm down for a mini meet though. Ill be sure to string up my RD-7 super mids and blast you guys off the court with my new found 4.0 greatness.

Im 1-2 now in 8.0 league. I think so far weve ran into teams like mine that was both 4.0 players. I think this week we get a team with a 4.5 dude and a 3.5 broad. Well see if me blasting everything hard at the 3.5 broad equals victory.

Last match I plucked the broad with an overhead and that didnt equal victory so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Also after I plucked her she said "you know I usually only date and have sexual relations with other broads, but there is something about you that makes me believe you can sway me of my lesbian ways. You are strong powerful guy, but your voice is kinda high pitch and I would probably confuse you with a female over the phone. What do you say afterwards we go somewhere and get it on?"

[hollywood9826]

Only one of the above 5 paragraphs are made up. The rest are 100% true.

WTA sucks. another 100% truth.

[datsveryinterestin]

HW, did u know there is a FROLF course 1 mile from taliban courts? true nuff!

we can listen to some grateful dead, slap on some birkenstocks, and sling some discs through the country side!
"here comes uncle johns band...."

[hollywood9826]

No I did not know that.

Where are taliban courts? Its not that place I met you at that one time is it some school where I went in some tree row and took a wizz in some dudes backyard?

I would rather listen to Eazy-E, and I wear merrills when I huck plastic. But if you ever want to give it a shot I got more than enough discs for you to demo.

Actually you should start play disc golf, you could play disc golf and walk the dog at the same time. Im actually thinking about getting a dog so that he can walk with me while i play disc golf while listening to eazy e and walking through the country side in merrills.

40 ounce in my lap and its freezin my balls.

I tell my 3.5 broad partners that I don't care if they get plucked. They are keeping within arm's length of the net and tapping away volleys while I cover the other 3/4 of the court.

[hollywood9826]

Thats the best part. when I plucked this Dick van "Dy ke" she was like two feet from the baseline and the overhead was probably going long. And no more than 2 points before that my partner who was rather attractive but clearly not one of the 87.34% of scientifically proven lesbian tennis players told me to hit it right at the other team. I think she was joking.

I thought the ball was going over my head so i hit the overhead like JRK hits serves kinda volley ball spike like and when i snapped my writ to get on top it beelined right that Dick van Dy ke who turned in time so it hit her shoulder.

Are those TWMAC members dancing in the back

[zapvor]

man i love twmac. another shittty day at work and i find solace in this thread once more

[Sup2Dresq]

Song time.. cause .. well I heard this song really for the first time.. but probably listened to it a hundred times.


Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes

Never heard that song. Or just reading the lyrics it doesnt ring a bell.

How bout this one. Just heard it in the commercial for that new bulletstorm game and now its stuck in my head.

wish I would've met you;
now it's a little late.
What you could've taught me,
I could've saved some face.
They think that your early ending was all wrong;
for the most part they're right,
but look how they all got strung.

That's why I say, "Hey man, nice shot."
"What a good shot, man."
2x

A man, has gun -
Hey man, have fun.
Nice shot!

Now that the smokes gone,
and the air is all clear:
those who were right there
had a new kind of fear.
You'd fight and you were right -
but, they were just too strong.
They'd stick it in your face
and let you smell what they consider wrong.

That's why I say "Hey man, nice shot."
"...a good shot, man."
That's why I say "Hey man, nice shot."
"...what a good shot, man."


A man, has gun -
Hey man, have fun.
2x
Oh, nice shot man!
2x

Oh, I wish I would've met you.
I wish I would've met you, oh.
I wish I would've met you, oh.
I wish I would've met you,
I'd say, "Nice shot."

H-Dub,

You pick up Bulletstorm yet? I'm interested, but I'll prob buy used. I'm not OCD about high scores or replaying the single-player campaign over and over again so I feel I may not get my money's worth. Multi-player looks a little disappointing. I was hopping for co-op play in the campaign but no-go.

---------------------------

BTW- played last night. Just a bit frustrating. It was the type of night where all my hard first serves were hitting the exact same damn spot on the tape and shots I normally make were spraying everywhere.

[hollywood9826]

Strikepiece,

I dont plan on getting Bulletstorm. I typically dont play shooters much. I did get some usage out of Borderlands and may start playing that again soon.

There a game on XBL called Raskulls that was very fun. then I have been playing some of those stupid 80 point and 240 point indie games to waste a few hours.

Next real game I am going to get is WWE Allstars. that way I can drop some super mega Randy Savage Elbows while yelling "Ooooohhhhh Yyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh"

Was considering Marvel vs Capcom three but they dropped the ball on the character list IMO.

Dropped the ball on the character list? I thought they had everyone and thier grandma in that game???

I'm sort of done with fighting games. Xbox D-pad sucks and it's only fun when you have peeps over and talk trash.

Also heard they have a simplified layout where super attacks can me mapped to a button instead. Almost like cheating.

I think the next game I'll pick up is either the new Tom Clancy Ghost Recon game or the new Deus Ex - both look really good.

Bullestorm is a used buy or a trade.

Neil Young, right? Ugliest man in rock, by far. But he could turn a phrase.

How are you, good buddy? May have some Memphis news soon, but mustn't smoke the victory cigar yet.

I dont know much about the controls of the new one. But i will agree it is only fun when a group of you are playing. I was in korea when MvC2 came out and we played the crap out of that.

I would use Strider Hiryu and Jin and who ever elseI wanted. Needless to say both of those guys are gone. Very few Street fighter guy around. Would have liked to have see Sagat and Vega in there.

On the Marvel side I liked Omega Red, Gambit, and Cable who are not in the new one with the fantastic four who were left out.. But they decide to keep Shuma-Gorath, if you pay for him.

But I will give them props for adding Thor, and Super Skrull.
