    Marat Safin to win FO

    I wish he could win it but i don't think he'll get by robredo though . . . Alas, the predicament of a Safin fan . . .

    Rubik's cube...

    yeah thats a 2x2. Its the easiest to solve, its a spinoff of the original. They also make 4x4 and 5x5 cubes . . . dont go near those unless you've got a lot of time and patience.

    SPPP 17. too good to be be true?

    Signum is a great string, i'm on my 4th reel, and i still love it. I used multis, luxilon, gut, and i think a full signum stringjob has the best feel of them all. Its a bit tension sensitive, you may botch the first stringjob if you string too/tight or lose, but once you get it right, it feels...

    Does a returner toss a coin every time he/she returns a 1st serve from a big server?

    Another notable player who can hit his spots with pace better than most is ivo karlovic. With his height he can get generate angles or hit up the middle at unreasonable velocities. I'd imagine that you have to guess against him, or he can just ace you up either side when he's feeling it.

    Safin's string

    i agree with Bogie, its most likely 16 gauge gut, although it may appear to be darker.

    Cutting Mains Only?

    Don't do it, it puts your frame in a position to bend or snap. Swallow the 5 bucks and keep your frame in tact and playing well.

    good cheap rackets?

    50$ is a tough cap for finding a solid frame. If you but down about 70-85, you can get a liquid metal radical mp, or a gamma ipex 7.0. Both are on sale at tenniswarehouse, and are good frames that will allow players to improve as they use them, meaning you won't have to abandon them as you better.

    Which company has the best quality control?

    Ive had a pair of volkls that played very differently, one was 15 grams heavier unstrung than the other, same grips. I guess you have to get lucky . . .

    HH 6.6 Rollers MP, now what?

    If you want the update to the frame you used, try the ncode ntour two. I'd say, dont restrict yourself to a frame similar to what you used, especially because you havent used it in a while. Try some popular frames such as the babolat pure drive, ncode 6.1 95, and head flexpoint...

    CONFIRMED: Ivan to play Head rackets

    Isnt the instinct similar to the pure drive already? In everything but stiffness, its a comprable frame.
