^^ Me too. Sweet Child 'O Mine.

Did y'all ever get your "butt" problem figured out? I never really thought about that part of my racket til I read it here. Felt it...for the first time...yesterday in a match. Ah, Foreigner.

I never had a problem with my butt either. But Ive heard volkl makes a nice soft one people seem to like.

Peeps, I was born in 80 and I know the song is hurt so good, but reading burns so good it got in my head anyway.

i think i'm getting this shirt. and in this style - size small. it'll work perfectly because my man boobs will give the honey badger a 3D quality to it. and my gut sticking out will be ironic because i really don't care.

You mean you dont give a SHEEEEEEEIT.

It might as well be 80s music day. Especially if you count N.W.A. That was great 80's music.

Although probably not safe for work and maybe offensive to females. Actually I'm sure it's offensive to females. So if you are not Honey Badger female dont click the link. But if you are Honey Badger female and dont give a S$&T feel free to click the link, and still probably be offended.

got the first one yesterday and hit with it last night. it had poly mains and syn gut crosses at 59 pounds. definitely not my preferred setup. but despite that - i really liked it. biggest thing i noticed immediately was the level of control. a lot higher than with the ozone tours which i always thought was good but it pales in comparison. my volleys have returned and i hit a good dozen or so drop volleys or drop shots. i played with the stock leather and overgrip and vibe damp and it weighed 340 grams exactly. it worked fine for 2 hours but i took off the leather and replaced with a synthetic grip when i got home. with the leather removed and no overgrip = 330 grams. it's a keeper.

Glad you found a good frame monkey. You should have kept the TF320 you used to have would have saved you lot of time and money

I hit those ozones once and it would feel like for no reason the ball would shoot off in some random direction even if the shot felt good on impact.

with my 325s i hit alot of mishit frame lobs that beat the guy at net. So thats my mark that its a keeper.

exactly! a racquet that allows you to hit winners even when you don't hit the strings is the mark of a good frame. the ozones are really soft and flexy so yeah that makes for a little more loosey goosey control but i still thought control was good. just not sniper like accurate like the prestige. actually i'd have a hard time finding grommets for the tf320 if i still had em. oh and extra bonus points to the ytpp for being dead sexy. ozone tours were never sexy. they were somewhat opposite of sexy.

what do you guys think? new jeep grand cherokee srt8. hemi with 400-something horsepower and 0-60 in less than 5 seconds. it's for hauling the kids AND hauling azz at the same time. plus it lets everyone know for a fact what they already suspect: i have a small wee wee. i think it's my next car for 2012 when the world will probably end according to the ancient mayans or incans or whoever those human sacrificers were.

Anybody want to buy a 2010 Audi A4 (White). I haven't driven it in two months since I take the metro to work now. I don't foresee myself driving it in the near future. I'm basically paying for a car I never drive. Come to think of it, I hate driving. Someone needs to invent the teleportation thing so I can just zip from place to place instantly.

VW and Audi are one and the same, so it makes sense they share the same powerplant, parts bin, etc...

I can't tell what rims are on that one... but yes, that is the exact one.

I don't get caught up in engines since
a. I hate driving.
b. I don't make my living off winning races.

All I know is there is a gear called "S" and when I put it in "S" and step on the gas the car jumps like it got kicked in the *** and then my MPG goes down to like 5/mpg.

I've had the car for about 16 months now and it has 2k miles on it.

TennisMonkey,

That Jeep looks nice, and it does say small wee wee. However you are asian, so you may get that "oh okay.. that's fine" look from passerbys. Just kidding, we know Sappy is probably hung like a Honey Badger.



JRK,

I don't want to ruin your car sale, but I'm going to pull a Paulman 411 alert. Wasn't your car giving the accordion treatment last year from a drag race gone wrong? I could be totally wrong, but show me the carfax. I was thinking of buying a family member a car like that.

Those Cherokees aint bad. I like the looks of the new Durango a little bit more, but they are really close.
