Anyone,

I ordered a bunch of Pro Supex Maxim Touch (wish TW would sell it). Anyways, the place must of combined this order with a prior one, and they included and charged me a set of Blue Gear and Yellow Big Ace.

JRSTriker, TheJRK, TFM, HEWITTFAN22, you guys expressed interest with these strings. I will sell it to you for cost, saving you shipping cost.

LET me know asap.

Sup

so is this string any good? is it a poly? will it make me play better? will girls be more attracted to me?

Is Big Ace softer than ALU? Just wondering because my elbow has been hurting a bit lately. I don't know if it is tennis related or Kendo related though.

Seriously, this guy I practice Kendo with suffers from tennis elbow and he's never picked up a racket... symptoms are exactly the same.

Luxilon ALU Power 125 has a stiffness rating of 242. Pro Supex Big Ace has a stiffness rating of 234.

Pro Supex Maxim Touch is 190. Babolat VS touch 16 is 107.

LOL! Got a prob, talk to the Pro Supex peeps in Taiwan.

Sorry bro - but the PDR demands Blue Gear. It looks hot in my racket, plus it matches my blue shorts and blue Nike shoes. A brotha has to represent on the court!

BG has some great bite. Your slice will run in reverse after it touches down.

Now, I'm gonna have to try the Blue Gear. Then, instead of netting my attempts at kick serves... I can spin them to land 4 feet in front of me

Sure, I could wear my kendo bogu (armor) and you could hit twist serves at my face!

BTW, here is a picture of me getting pwned by my sensei in Hawaii.

We have practice on Sunday afternoon from 1230-300pm, you should come watch a practice some time. It's a real workout, your arms and shoulders will be dead.

We do use real swords in Iaido but that is just drawing the sword, swinging it, then re-sheathing it. You are fighting an imaginary opponent(s).



In Batto-do you use a real sword but you practice actually cutting these rolled-up mats.

Lol, heck no, that sucker's out, and staying out!

I actually started using k-gut two stringing jobs ago, at the request of my teaching pro. Sup strung it the first time, my pro's son did it the second time, and I'm liking it.

Of course, I'm not really liking the price tag, so if I were also like something a bit more economical, that would be grand!

Topaz -- ouch. the penny pincher in me can't figure out paying $20+ for K-gut. but why not pay a few bucks more for the real deal natural gut?

what's for lunch people? i'm starving.
