she used an RDX 500 mid last year, and hits a 1hbh.
Everyone who slangs the K90 is phat. That's a phact.
I've been at the NCAA tournament this week. I'd say that about half of all the women in the tournament use either a Pure Drive or the Wilson nTour Two. For the guys, it's the kFactor 6.1 or Pure Drive.
This champion college girl really wields a K90. How amazing
She's one of the girls specifically cited in the OP of the "tennis girls are fat" thread. She's cute for somebody so thick though.

Why is this SO amazing?
what are some of the more interesting racquets you saw?
I know that Marc Spijaric (sp?) from Illinois uses a POG OS.
One girl was using a Volkl Tour 9 V-Engine, and Baylor's #1 player was using a Wilson H6 MP.

Also, I think the UCLA women's team must be sponsored by Wilson, as every player on their team uses one.
Isn't Pete Sampras' sister the head coach at UCLA? That's quite a Wilson connection. Not that UCLA couldn't be sponsored by Wilson anyway.
A couple more here
That's not even really a good pic of her above. She looks much better in person
Interesting game- she is very short but still hits a 1HBH and comes to the net a lot. I think at the pro level her success will be in doubles.
Her father played Davis cup for the Philippines.
She's not fat. She is really short, but if she was rail-thin, she would have absolutely no power. And it would be hard to play #1 for the best college team if you didn't pack a punch.

After watching that clip, she is very good. I don't think anyone on these boards could beat her, but maybe I'm wrong.
You can't possibly believe that, because you don't know every single poster. There are at least a few posters here on TW, that I know of, who could at least give her a beat down. :shock:
I agree...i think there are actually a couple of touring pros on these boards if i remember correctly...anybody wanna back me up on this....
I'm sure there are more than 10 or so. I met a guy who played practice matches with her like two years ago, a very tall, 40'ish, 5.5 player with a huge serve, and he beat her 8-6 once (her dad suggested no tie-breaker), and 6-2 the next time they played a set (he said his forehand was working that day). She's probably much better now, but just gives you an idea. I think the key is his huge serve, and he's 6'2 or 6'3, it's just a shot she regularly sees. I'm sure he was holding back, probably really going for his serves when he needed to. In a ground stroke game, or during rallies, I would give her the edge against this guy.After watching that clip, she is very good.

Ditto with everything you've said.It's cool to see her use a mid size frame. But man, I wonder if she's limiting herself in the pace department. ...not saying she has no pace, but just speaking in general terms. I find that women greatly benefit from getting free power (efficiency) from the more powerful frames.
I guess if she can dominate with her current k90, then why mess with it.
Can someone here please describe the kind of FH she hits. Also her serve (speed, placement, spin, aces, winners etc.) Just curious as to how this girl uses her weapon.
Thanks.
