great. seems like you had the same reaction of Chris from TW. i'm still waiting for a heavily discounted LE to appear on the big auction site.

it's from "Yoda", a Weird Al Yankovic parody of "Lola" by the Kinks.


BTW how had you found the Suspension Grip on the Prestige Tour?

Great racquet, that suspesnion grip really does an excellent job making the hits feel softer, and taking out the vibration, but I enjoyed the classic more. I like the raw feel. The suspension grip also make the racquet feel a bit flexier, although it may just be the way the racquet feels at contact.

You mentioned Christ from TW. Did he recently hit with a trisys 260 mp?

I recently had it strung with a full poly. the SG really takes out a big portion of the discomfort.

according to head the LE is "an exact replica of the original Radical used by Agassi in 1993". when chris playtested the LE for 3 weeks in November 2006 he fell in love with it. The TW team gave that 1993 re-issue the best set of combined scores ever.

Oh, ok. Your post confused me , because I hit with the original mid plus (from early 90's), not the LE Oversize version. I though you meant Chris from TW recently hit with the same racquet as me ...Thanks for clearing that up.

Nah, where is that Jedi line from?

I'm a schoolteacher. If I asked a young boy to retrieve a tennis ball from inside my shorts, that would be real funny.

As a school teacher,

1. Why would you be wearing shorts;
2. why on earth would you have a ball mistakenly go into your shorts?


Hmmmm. I worry about our educational system.

See Drak, I can see a ball rolling in your shorts. Heck I can see a bus rolling in there, you and your MC Hammer shorts.
