As I think the name "Prestige" it summons immediately to mind a vision of the glorious orbage of a corsetted Scarlett Johanson where I am some sort of racquet wielding Christian Bale doppelganger.

Aw shizznitz.... it's the battle of MIDway.

Always liked the PresMid at close to even balanced. With a thin syn.grip, like skin or resipro and lead on the entire half of the upper hoop underneath the caps. ~12.6oz strung.

Nice mod prog pics. Let us know how she plays and if she buckles. What tension you got there?

Sitting in Sportime lobby waiting for Dennis, listening to yesterday's heroes tell goatish stories of past glory. Amateur goat once gave tip to Robert Kendrick back when he was in us open and propelled him to a career high ranking of 70. The explanation of how Sampras' bh would goat nadal's topspin fh is almost too much to handle. Trying to absorb all I can so I'm prepared to face off with jollikin's new weaponry tomorrow evening.

48lbs.

She dry swings really nice, grip still feels a bit squishy, even with the leather. Hopefully it firms up with a bit of use.

Foolish youth, you know not of the clay court specialists of the 90s who thwarted Sampras, and would easily GOAT Rafa.

Anyway I hope you are prepared for the debut of the weapon code-named SGO.

Dry swinging code-name SGO this morning, I was a bit surprised how big the demo 3/8 felt in my hand after the Wilson leather grip and overgrip.

Thinking maybe I would be better off in 1/2 than 5/8 for these.

Also dry swinging (carefully so as not to take out a random laptop or tea set) I suspect that I'll end up putting a little more lead at the base of the grip, doesn't quite balance right on my index knuckle.

Will hit with it tonight and see.

Let the trial and error begin.

My friend said he saw fat lady at Walmart filling her shopping cart to the brim with Twinkies. Had know clue why but said he's seen people to weirder **** so he just let it go. Hadn't heard the news yet.

Well, JollInnegra, at least you got your Scotch figured out.

Small, but equally as important a step.
