re the "team" branding, i think it does mean that, but on the other hand i used to play the pure control team which was 97 I think and over 11 ounces.

the blade team is a very underrated racquet. I would have never tried it based on the specs. It is a 104 headsize but somehow it plays like a players racquet. and this is not just from the chicks point of view, my husband agrees and he's a very high level player and i dont mean that in the traditional TW definition lol. more people should try it, but I can see why they dont based on the specs.

Yeah, what does "team" imply?

Some "chicks point of view" can be the same like mine, and I'm not a chick but a real man! haha
When it comes to racquets, he/she should choose whatever they like since everyone's different.

Do you & your husband play at WPTC? I play with all level players but I'm looking for more high level players to hit with regularly.

yes, we do play there. it's a great place now that Angie and Laura etc have it. we play at random times. do you play there also? i hit with the same people, should expand but i am terrible about organizing and i travel for work so sometimes my good intentions to hit with people fall behind!

Congrats!!! What was the prize??? A brand new tennis racquet???!!!!

Moving into a new place this weekend and tomorrow. Last weekend, threw away about half of what I own. Got rid of another 25% this weekend. The problem with buying a big home is that you almost feel obligated to use all that space. Will make sure the movers tomorrow respect the stringing machine. That is IMPORTANT!

^ moving forces one to get rid of the unused/unnecessary items but still a PITA. did u buy a home?

thanks Bob--yeah- I dont know why the league admin does that with the .25 increment rankings! I think I can safely say now that I am a 4.0...maybe...

When time permits, I'll have to post a pic of the trash pile last weekend. Got rid of so much stuff. Moved into a condo rental to give us a year to plan our next move.
