Who can handle it though?
Nobody wants to hit at all Saturday? Is it becasue my Backhand is so terrible? I swear I will run around it whenever possible.

Asking this question is like reading the back of a shampoo bottle:

Can we make that question a sticky?

I hope so! But I doubt it!
Is that what makes the legs move? Oysters?
I wish I had your ability to commit... I think the other night I went through 6 or 7 frames over the course of three sets of doubles.

Honestly, it is more of me admitting to myself that I am a head case than anything.
All of my frames have the same weight, balance, string, tension, overgrip...hell, they even have the same vibration dampener. This way, when the ball goes out, there is no one to blame but myself.
You don't know how many times in the past I've hit a shot and said "hmm, that might have gone in had a been hitting with frame X". In some ways, I envy your ability to hit the same no matter what frame you pick up.

Its a shame they deleted the Kim Jong-Il thread it was getting ready to get prety funny.
He was the best golfer the world has ever seen
In 1994, Pyongyang media reported that Kim Jong-il shot an amazing 11 holes-in-one to achieve an unprecedented 38-under-par game on a regulation 18-hole golf course - on his first try at golf.
Reports say each of his 17 bodyguards verified the record-breaking feat.
He was pretty much the greatest man to ever walk the face of the earth not named Timothy Richard Jesus Christ Tebow.

•With two games left in the season, Drew Brees is just 304 yards away from breaking Dan Marino's single-season passing yards mark after a 42-20 Saints win over the Vikings. Unfortunately, according to North Korean propaganda pamphlets released after the game, he's still about 4,078,325 yards shy of Kim-Jong Il's all-time record.

57 racquets!?! Are you implying I might be getting a really nice Christmas present this year? Or is it going to be another empty racquet-sized box like the one I opened 3 years ago
sorry I am so demanding especially with these annoying-to-string O3 racquets

haha...it's all good, it's not that terrible to string...i just have to use the brake more than i normally do (which is pretty much never) - you definitely seem to hit better with the new string job!

downs - my wife saw your post of kai rabert. went out and bought ingredients. i made 3 batches yesterday. it's not exactly the same but still ridiculously good. we like it with thai basil added and extra spicy.
finally get to try the black racquet tonight. kinda hoping it plays terrible. i don't wanna like any new racquets.

That blackracket thing sucked. Way too light. I like my TF's. I think I might try to put 3/8 grip back on a couple to see if that gets my kickers like mad again.
I'm glad no others frames Ive tried have been better than my old school original T Fight 325's with texalium 18x20 pattern rules for me.

auzzie -- this week and next week are good for me. let me know if you wanna do some indoor time and i can book a night. unfortunately it's 9-11pm and in the boonies of moco. otherwise we can try next week when i'm off work and we can try during the day somewhere. just strung my sticks too. poly/multi hybrid in one, full rip control in another, weiss cannon i think in another.
hwood -- texalium rocks. i still regret giving up my six perfect t-fight 320s. i'd like to think i'd be a good 4.0 today if i still had those. instead i'm a middle of the road 4.0 and it's obvious why - lack of texalium.

i still think my wrist "might" prefer the shape of an L4 or L5 classic HEAD shape.
(or it is hopeless)
anybody got L4 or L5 prestige mids or mps they wanna trade for L3 yonex rdis200?
guess it is time to scour the classifieds before the auz-man grabs all the good stuff!!!

just measured for the final time the 5/8 prestige actually measures 1/2 from the grip being so worn down.... so that plus an overgrip is my grip size!
1/2 prestige mid... than i copy shcmads extra flat hitting style and crush all challengers!
isnt it supposed to rain tomorrow, auz? if not, do you have a 1/2 prestige mid? i only play with that now!

are you talking about my stringing service???
so it's a different pricing model.. one which this industry hasn't seen it's 100+ years of history.. in short, 1st pull ( at your selected lb) is free.. i only start charging for every pull after the 1st.. which means you are in luck if you give me a prince 03 to string.
