lol.. I thought you turned 21 or of drinking age.

But how was your first experience breaking strings? Crosses or Mains? :)

I broke the first main (from the center). So if counted from the left, it would be the 8th or 9th main depending which way the racquet face was flipped.

So we can stop calling you Boysewerz now?

Congrats. Coming of age.
You going all poly now?;-)

LOL that's good. No, I'd rather stay with syn gut. It's less harsh on the arm, and its cheaper and lasts longer. From what i've heard...

Two months? Was it Prince ProBlend or another Kevlar? If not, you're no man yet!





I'm just kidding ;) . Now you'll have to factor in strings to all your tennis expenses! Welcome to the land of always being broke.

Tecnifibre synthetic gut. Yea, but hopefully if I get a stringer, i'll get a 660' reel of the syn. gut from tecnifibre. It felt fine on my rdx 500. Plus, i don't break strings too often...*knocks on wood*

hmm, sounds like the misc. section

Congratulations, but do not be complacent. If you do not break your next set of string in one month, your man status will be temporarily revoked until you break it again.

LOL, I brush up on the ball, but I don't always get the spin lol. first string break felt good though, was wanting to try a lower tension for some more power.

I set a new record for myself today. In just two days, my PSGD cross is fraying! I expect it to be gone within a week. I've never had this problem before, so I guess it was just a weak point in that particular bit of string...

Congrats! :wink:
That means I'm not a man yet, because I've played about 1-2 times each week, maybe 3, for the past month. Then I played maybe 3 times a month before that, I've had my string job for a few months now and I still haven't broken my strings. All I've gotten to is some fraying on my bottom 4 crosses.

I can pick up low balls with a lot of topspin but I usually hit flat to get myself to net quickly in doubles.

I see. What doubles spot do you have?

By the way, I thought Jo11y was 25
 
your not a man until your kids throwup in a restaurant. your not a man until you have to dish out twenty grand a year for your kids college. your not a man until you have four cars sitting in your driveway and you have to pay for gas and insurance for all of them. your not a man until you have a 1200 dollar a month house payment. your not a man until you have changed 5000 shi==Y diapers. etc...etc...

If becoming a man means breaking strings, I would be very happy to be a virgin forever. Would have saved thousands on stringing over the years.

Wow, I guess I'm a man too. As a pregnant man, I should be able to get on Oprah! (Is breaking strings more manly than sporting a beard and mustache?)
