I also blame Wilson regular duty tennis balls. Instead of fluffing up as the match goes on these things get smaller and have no fuzz. Great for JRK ace/df game but not good for spinny rallies. I knew I was in trouble as soon as opponent popped the can open on me. Hate those balls!
Its tough playing dudes like that. The offer no rythym and if you are not on at the start you probably wont pick it up.

Ive enver been a fan of the regular wilson balls. They are a tad better tan Penn Championships. But I dont understand why matches use those balls. The cans are inconsistent. They shuold use US Opens, Grand Prixs, or Penn ATP's.


I was hitting with a guy this weekend that has a couple old Radical Mid plus, and an old Radical Tour OS. All were about as new as could be asked for old rackets. Al three were made in Austria. I know one of midplus was a Ti. Not sure about the other two.

What's for lunch? I'll be driving for 7+ hours today back from the southern part of north Carolina. Fun?

True story- Paulman decides to make a Vietnamese sandwich for the first time ever. He gave me a sample sandwich and it was better than my favorite ones from Eden center. That's just how he rolls!! He touches racquets they turn to gold. I guess it applies to food too haha

ok ill admit it. i like fluffy balls.

p.s. - do NOT eat this. it will KILL your tennis game:

Buffalo Chicken Dip:
Ingredients

2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup Ranch dressing
3/4 cup pepper sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot®)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 bunch celery, cleaned and cut into 4 inch pieces
1 (8 ounce) box chicken-flavored crackers

and definitely don't add a bacon cheeseburger and a bacon wrapped hot dog to your plate.
and please, please don't wash it all down with 8-10 beers. oooof

wow... to a lactose intolerant player. It'll certainly "propel," their game to a new level. You forgot to add a stick of dynamite (in case you don't have a big enough explosion)

I think I'm going to go Friday, after I take my final for my summer class. Let me know if you'll be there and you want to buy me a celebratory drink!

Unless you have X-ray vision, you probably won't know. If it's hurting that bad you should probably go see the doc.

What kind of clamming? =)

But I remembered going once to Dickerson, Maryland. It's by a Non-Nuclear Power Plant. Given that the water is always kinda warm, it makes the clams really big. Yes, I have eaten it multiple times and I don't have the complexition of a tennis ball. The place is like an hour drive from my house. Up Route 28 in Maryland. Upper Montgomery County.

But it's really back breaking work. Are you sure you want to do this?

As a side note. I have to congrad myself. I have surpassed tmonk's number of post. Next active poster: Paulman.
Zap: Does this mean you'll upgrade me to gold status? I get Hebrew National now instead of Ball Park franks?
