anyone here a fan of the head speed pro shoes?

I have a pair in the closet (regular Speed Pro) that are next in the rotation. When I first put them on (to ensure they fit), they felt very, very comfortable.

My 1st pair of Prestige Pros wore out & I sent them back (6 month durability). They sent me back a pair of Speed Pro Lites (orange & black). I haven't put them into the rotation yet either, but like the original Speed Pros, they felt real comfy.

Fit was dead on for both.

Not a fan.

Fot one they call them speed pro. Diadora made the speed pro and it was awesome. This head shoe is no speed pro.

But I get it its only 50 bucks. If you dont like them you can always give them to some homeless bumb.

Im really happy with my gel solution speeds, and the Lotto Raptors have not let me down.

I really intriqued by the New Balance 996's as well. Seem like they would be a good fit for me.

interesting site AQ/topaz. i should theoretically be allowed to play 4.0 in maryland where i am a 3.82. in nova i am a 4.03. also the ratings across the board for competition in maryland is much much lower than nova. which confirms what i think most of us see on the courts.

what's for lunch? it's friday and i want something super yum.

I haven't had a good viet sammich in a while. Although pho could work since I'm a little sick. Hmm...

TM, find a new racquet?

Sappy, CB, TM, Paulman - any suggestions for good sites for buying phone chargers? My original HTC charger fell apart and the cheap fakes my wife bought on amazon didn't even bother to steal the specs for a real micro-usb cord from the factories where they make the real chargers - they work, but the micor-usb adapter is a bit too small to get a reliable connection.

Trying to avoid paying an arm and a leg to sprint ($30-$40) for a charger? Get serious!

wookie -- i've bought a dozen or so generic chargers from the bay of fleas. for iphone and for android. they have all worked great and most are only a few bucks. i usually order many extras for my large mormon clan.

system of a downs -- i bought a blx tour 95 (2012) version and i'm looking at the blx six one team (16x18 ) as well. lighter, closer to even balance sticks. switched to semi-western fh. it feels weird but effective.

i'm off to lunch - i'm thinking indian today on metal prison trays.

isn't that what dats plays with? but i guess that's seasonal as he swaps sticks bi weekly.

what's a restaurant around the herndon / reston / sterling area that has good food and a good beer selection...

TMonk,

Your game reminds me very much of TF (God rest his soul)M's.

He used to be super sweet with some TFIghts he had. Maybe try those 315 LTD's. They got open and tight patterns. Matched withing 4gs and silicone in the handle. How can you go wrong with that. And its a bonus knowing I can swing them to comapre to mother of all sticks the techinwood400 or 365s. I cant remember who much they weigh, but its alot.

hw -- funny you mention the new tfights. they look intriguing. plus it might be the same mold as them old school janks. but i'm not a big fan of buying sticks full price. so i may wait a bit. i'm still trying sub 11 ounce wilsons at the moment.

lunch was kraze hawaiian burger with pineapple, sweet potato fries, strawberry milk shake. no JO but that woulda been sweet with the fries.

I can get you pics and specs of his racquet right now? Drakulie strung them up and has pics. Want them or maybe you can do a search?

If I steal his glasses, they are worth way more than a week of beer.

I'm stuck in traffic. I feel like Im back in DC! This is what you get when you ask a Fort Lauderdale local for a short cut.. next time ask a Miami local. FML!

Downs, you're officially a sandbagger. See here.

Topaz, you and I should still be able to play 3.5. LOL.....

I took some more time to look at this...is this something someone just put together? Because it doesn't seem to make sense. If I'm 3.41 I should still be a 3.5, right? (I only looked at the VA list, I did do better in MD).

And some people had the same number but different ratings. One 3.44 was a 3.5, and another 3.44 was a 4.0.

*scratching head*

Damned Hoyas; ruined one side of my bracket, where I had them going to the Final Four. Who the heck is Florida Gulf Coast? Sounds like a tennis club.

only 6months. i called NB. and they only last 2 months, so really you go through 2 pairs in 4months. not worth it.

But are you talking about the 996's? Or previous models.

Like Domino's Pizza. NB knows they have been less than spectacular and are now trying to resolve these issues. Give them a chance man.

If he got them posted I will search.

But the glasses, would be more for you rung above the Fonz on the coolness ladder. Plus the Beers would be Natty Bo's by the 30 pack hand delivered by me in a ford F-150 short bed stepside. I figures 14 30 packs is like a weeks worth right?

Now get those glasses or goggles or whatever they were.

I will up the beer to a month if you can steal Chris Sabo's Glasses or goggles or whatevers.

Still got Lou'ville, Ohio St., and Miami alive in my FF, so there's still hope in Bracket Town. GT was my other FF pick; looks like Kansas might make it from that quarter.

You in Florida? Our weather here is more like Minn. than Fla. Bummer.

i don't know why the government didn't shut down today. more snow than any other "storm" all winter long.

i demoed a few sticks this weekend and the winner? donnay formula 100. it kinda plays like an APD or Pure Drive only it doesn't hurt my arm. go figure.

what's for lunch people?

saw ur ad selling the donnays. I heard the Formula's paint chips fast. Volkl O8's are pretty good as well and it's in the same category.

Still need to hit with my Donnay *sigh*... Also, very tempted to get a Volkl O7 310 from the used racquet section.

My gyro has elluded me for the past week. I should run across the street to get one.

Most definitely plays more like the Pure Drive. Certainly not flexy but if it doesn't hurt your arm - hey why not?

Looks like I'm playing USTA league this spring - yeah! Going to be hard to match my night owl form. There's no substitute for playing a lot.

Oldest daughter has a stomach virus. Spent most of this morning cleaning and scrubbing. Not fun or pretty.

Lunch was: Mongolian BBQ at a new joint they opened down the street. Went for the large bowl - just hoping I don't get hit with the stomach bug any time soon.

Silver lining: Sloane Stephens live on Tennis chan.
