Ash.

Of course, explains why penn ones aren't around much now then!

playing this afternoon. going to string up a set of polyfibre cobra. interestingly, polyfibre recommends you string their polyesters 2-4 lbs tighter than normal

Playing mainly on clay in Duesseldorf Jazar? Do you find this has a detrimental effect on string durability?

jazar · 10-23-2010, 07:46 AM

^^^^not clay anymore. indoor carpet. clay courts are closed til march. string durability isnt an issue for me whatever surface i play on because i only use strings for two hours before i cut them

An official polar bear this morning, had no lift so had to walk 7 miles home. Yes it was cold and yes my feet are extremely sore now!

Played for the first time in what seems lime ages today and played surprisingly well. Its all about getting the right amount of Chianti in the night before, and then the right amount of espresso in the morning.

It was of course wet and slippery under foot, and chilly until about 10am.

I am hitting with a BLX 6.1 95 18x20. I quite like it.

Has anyone seen the Kronenbourg ad where Lemmy plays an acoustic version of the Ace of Spades. Its brilliant.

You can download the track from Kronenbourg's website -- supposedly. Has anyone managed to get it into their iTunes library. I cant but then I am incompetent with computers etc. Grateful for ay assistance.

The coach at my club plays with those sticks (yellow and black PJ?) he loves them. I had a quick hit with one the other day, felt tinny to me but that's coming from my leaded up AG100 367g, 350SW. Still getting used to it but it has soooooo much plough through when you hit the ball it stays er... hit

Why you selling Orig?

I've got it off of YouTube, but you need a bit of software to help you. I'm using a mac and its called YouTube downloader. There are windows versions out there. It allows you to save video or just soundtracks from youtube.

Realplayer will also allow you to download a youtube video - however it doesn't allow for sound only downloads.

Selling it as I only had one anyway and just bought it out of curiousity (I play with Prestiges at the moment). Having a clear out of the flat as I have a little girl now and her stuff is just overwhelming my small flat!
