would love to, unfortunately, security is very tight, and one has to have crediential badge to get back there. I couldn't even get my wife in last year, and a few players had relatives/friends kicked out.
However, all is not lost. Here is a Thread I started last year about the whole experience with pictures and videos:
"Professional Stringing Room; A Behind the Scenes Look of the Delray Beach ATP 250"

Enjoy!
aimr75, thanks. Glad you enjoyed the review.
The stiffness is really a hard thing to gauge because of the overall feel compared to many of the other frames I've tried. I would say it is a tad more flexible than the prestiges (minus the mid), and around the same as say the pro staffs. Little more stiff than the radicals.
As for the pinging you mention, I notice that on every frame because I don't use a dampener. However, it is more magnified on this frame compared to others. But again, depending on the string one uses, it coudl diminish or increase. With a multi, it is less, but with a poly more. One could also always use a dampener or power pads in the throat to mute it a bit. I've always enjoyed frames that have raw feels to them and are less filtered, so it is no coincidence that I really didn't mind the Pro One.
But in the end, like I said in the review, it would be a much sweeter frame it it felt a bit thicker/rich. I guess I can't have it all. :evil:
As always, try it out.
No problem Drak. Thanks for getting back to me. Do you think you can update your thread with this year's action? Thanks!
