Ya we play Rockford once we get back from Arizona. Man i am a huge fed fan.....the AO final was brutal to watch, but Nadal deserved it. I have been good, in my second semester at RVC and offically started practice last week. We actually have a fairly good team this year, I will probably be playing one or two.

Ya we have practice from 1:30 to 4:00 everyday at the clocktower, then once it gets nice we play at the Guilford Tennis Center. The kid you played with was probably Brian or maybe Derrick.

Ya i have heard a lot of good things about the tflights. During the summer i used the babolat pure storm limited. However, since december i have bought and traded for three Yonex RDX 500 Mids. They are kind of rare because they were made around six years ago so im glad i was able to find three of them. I have been playing around with some string jobs. Recently i have been using the pro hurricane tour and Xcel hybrid but the third racquet i just recieved today, came with alu power rough and biphase hybrid so i am going to be trying that out too. Also, my coach gets prince synthetic gut for free so i strung my second stick with the prince and Red Code hybrid.

Thats cool that you are trying two completely different string setups. Have you tried hybriding the two strings? I have hit with a prestige that had full poly and it produced so much spin, however, gave me some arm pains. That will be tight if you come out and watch, it should be a fun match.

yeah its alright on the arm so far i havent hybrid anythin yet because i dont have a stringing machine yet and id rather buy reels and hybrid.so for now just full jobs. yeah for this season ill probably stick with the xone and keep the luxilon in there as a back up,15g shouldnt break that easily compared to the xone lol

Ya that is probably the safe bet with your season coming up. Haha ya that 15g will probably take a year to break :). What other string set ups have you tried in the past?

We just played rockford college, and we destroyed them. Not to mention that a few of them had never played tennis before this year.

Ya you are really going to enjoy the college tennis experience. Their #1 was athletic but he was lacking some tennis IQ. For example, he hit it to my forehand 90% of the time and i would just hit an approach to his backhand and I would have an easy volley. According to some of their players, the coach is planning to make a trip to Texas or something for a few matches which would be a blast for you. To be honest i think you would enjoy playing for coach Vee at RVC more than the Rockford College coach.

Haha!!! Funny you would bring up Rein, he was our number six singles player last year. He was cramping up really bad during that match at nationals. I played number two for RVC last year, and won nationals at that position.
