do all the ladies matches have that much food and drinks?!?

No. TL and her team (which is based out of FFX) had the big spread. We always bring 'pink stuff' and it was especially strong tonight! Whew! Peeps went out to dinner, too, but I have an 8am, work, and then 8:30, so I'm being a stick in the mud and came home.

Several of us were thinking of defecting teams just because of the food spread!

May be playing tri-level for Mr. :twisted:. Hahaha! (hey, I like Indian Wells)

Topaz, are you playing on a mixed team this summer? If so, who is your captain? My league is finished, don't have any play opportunities until September.

auzzie, welcome to the TWMAC! :p
Thanks! Unfortunately, I have crossed the borders to a place where I have yet to meet racquet customization wizards who can magically create wundersticks for me
paulman, how did you play for 6+ hours on friday...haha, that's very auzzie-like!
6+ hours!?! Why do you even pretend you have injuries, Pman??
Thanks everyone!
Auzzie, 4.0 DC yes, 4.0 NOVA no. But there was a heck of a party at FFX afterward regardless. A former captain of yours was there.
My former captain :twisted: is omnipresent!

TL is the best and a nut for organizing! She is also a great mixed partner for going undefeated through a season and districts!! She threw a pizza party together on site for the entire tournament after we won!
You should totally play for Mr. :twisted:!!

That's no joke...a customer at the store where I'm working part time is a tennis pro, and we got to talking...she asked me if I knew him!

I'm glad I've gotten to know TL a bit more and very happy that shes on my DC team.

You fell right into Downs' trap! :evil:

Team monkey downs wins again. Downs carries the monkey on his back again. Sprained groin too from too much skinemax and had to run down overheads for him but we are 3-0. Not shabby considering the monkey is playing 3.5 tennis. That means downs is playing 5.0 tennis. Woot!

fark.......someone catch me up please. we need more pics less text in here.

Someone made BBQ.

Someone played tennis

A bunch of people actually played tennis. It seems most won.

Xis ankle still hurts but he to stubborn to stay off it :)

I went to an O's game Saturday and drank 20th camden yards anniversy natty bo's and ate Old Bay sausages.

hot dogs were purchased, along with bottles of Pert Plus.

I drove my Scout yesterday and the steering broke. Had my mom on maothers day take me to autozone to get a replacement part for it. fixed it enough to get it home. Will re-install when I have more time.

Wow. I am hoping my ankle will recover faster than Xi's. That way, I can't say some seasoned player healed faster than a near-seasoned someone who's name will remain anonymous. *sigh*

Running out of patience on my ankle. I am really hoping it'll heal soon. Just got a used EZone Xi 100. Looking forward to hit with it.

Im recovering from a sprained ankle too. Sprained while attempting to play basketball in NIKE tennis shoes. I think i may be able to play this weekend though. Man, i was terrible at hoops. No hops, no moves, and.terrible conditioning! Kinda fun though.

Let me know how the ezone xi plays...100? I tried to go back to head extreme but the strings i put in it feel terrible. Vcore95d still plays very nice tho i would like easier way to hit kicker. Prolly not the racquet tho.

Wuts for lunch? Chengdu kung pao chicken and garlic mustard greens here.

wow. now both Adidas and Nike are on the "watched," list for TWMAC section.
I think the only safe shoes are "NB, Asics, Yonex's." Although I tried to put on a pair of Yonex's before. It's not kind to wide foot folks. Very narrow.

Xi should be here by wednesday. I may put on a new set of strings. It has some pretty good polys in there. But I can't play with polys. It gives me instant shoulder and elbow shakes. Any recommendations? I have such a big inventory of strings: I got the following:
1 set of Mantis Comfort Syn Gut, Comfort Poly, Power Poly, Power Syn Gut
3 sets of Head Rip Control (tmonk says it's good stuff, so got three to try. But it's $8 a pop!)
2 sets of Prince LTE
2 sets of Prince syn Gut 17g
2 sets of Weiss Cannon Supercharged (Barney Color) (heard good things about it)
1 set of Volkl Cyclone (18g) and Gripper
1 reel of Goldenset Durameld (17g) my fav so far! It has the crispness of a bucket of extra crispy KFC.
1 set of Bab Xcel, Revenge
1 set of el cheesy Forten Sweet 16
2 sets of Pro Supex Ruff 17g (my fav as well. They stop making it, waiting for my dream racquet to come to use on...)
1 set of Prince Beast (one word description: meh...)
2 sets of Dunlop Hexy Fiber 17g (good stuff even though it breaks quick once that outer wrapper starts to fray)

Downs, I'll have what you're having.

Sup...???

I have some Achilles tenditis issues...have had it for about two weeks. And I wear Nike. I also went 3-1 for my 4 matches this weekend. I'm only slightly in pain. But the pain is more from the one loss. Another one at 3.5 singles = stuck at 3.5 foreveeeeerrrrrrrr. :cry:

ouch Topaz. sorry to hear. Extra padding on the heals? I've used this one brand that their inserts where orange and blue. It's really good.

yep... I like me strings just like my donuts, bbq meats, and hitting partners.
mikeler: Next time you come, you should bring some of them strings, you've made, with you. If it has your endorsement, it's gotta be good.

WTF man, are you trying knock yourself out of another 2 months of tennis?

Haha yeah...sometimes I wonder too...lol But I used to play so much hoops that sometimes I miss getting out there. And then watching good playoffs hoops gets me in the mood... :oops:

Dats,

You watching the Nalby vs Murray match. Looks like Nalby has left team candy cane (vcore) and went back to the RDis paintjob.

Frankly. I have so much lead on the Vcore, while I remember the Rdis was at a good swingweight already. Heard the tours they just came out with are very comparable.

Tennismonkey,

Are you still with your prince racquet? If true, does that mean the doomsday preppers were correct about 2012.

can't believe how close the nalby/murray match is. murray just broke. nalby should be called, "Master of the Dropper!"

Coolblue.. meet Paulman (inside joke).

I'm watching it as well. Good match. Perhaps Dats is trying to ship Topper apparel to his house to Nalbify himself.

Buying cheap and loving every minute of it!

Perhaps he is also hoarding Twinkies since I heard Hostess is going bankrupt. A perfect food that will last after the "end".

i dunno.. themonekyman is running pretty hot these days. he may just give your flordians a run for your money if you venture north.

Sup, I must confess, I'm not even sure who is playing Rome.

So, with that disclaimer...

Nadal.

He's kinda p*ssed off. If not him, Joko. They both need a bit of redemption. I could see Federer kinda gliding through too. Dark horse nation would be JMdP or Daveeeeed.

Tmonk for Rome! Nice.

I challenge sappy to a tequila drinking contest followed by a left handed only game of darts.

sup. maybe you are playing with my words a little too much.. but i'll restate it for clarification. tmonk will take on what ever challenges the south FL chapter wants to throw at him.. speaking of the FL chapter. it appears to be in a state of coma and/or hibernation. can you restart their engine over there. k tx

Sappy aka "Don King", I am sure Tmonk "aka young Mike Tyson", can help you train for your tequilla challenge.

I cannot restart SFTC as easily as I thought.

1. Most of the tennis players down here are too busy outside on the court and under the sunshine, to check the internet.

2. There is an insane amount of tennis at multiple locations down here. No desperate need to find a dry court or tournament. Watch good tennis, watch bad tennis, play good tennis, play bad tennis... it's a lot of tennis no matter how you slice it.

3. No asians. I cannot persuade the cuban, polish or germans (primary tennis groups down here) as easily as the groups up north. Most are too loud to talk over, too bullish to not question everything , and not persuaded by meats and free meals as easily. jk lol.

4. The only thing that seems to get most of the guys (and some of the girls attention) besides tennis are:

Whatcha talkin bout Willis??!! :mad:
OK, now I know I'm in the right place. Not quite sure why, but I liked that show.

I challenge sappy to a tequila drinking contest followed by a left handed only game of darts.
No tequila. But I'll man-up to a game of darts. I might can hit the board lefty...but righty...gimme a shot of chilled rum, Hard to Handle on the jukebox...and we'll go an 01, cricket, diddler's choice round. Never did throw a Ton80, but I've got a few 9-mark patches. :twisted: All ladies team I was on for a few years was called The Pointer Sisters. Extra brownie points if you know what I'm talkin bout, Willis.

Hubs and I actually have a nice set-up in our garage. Don't get to play as much as we used to. And competitive darts, out the window with a family. Can't be traipsing around to hole-in-wall joints, in less than savory sides of town til Midnight during the week. But damn it was fun when I was single.
