    Why do you like Nadal?

    1.) He is able to put an amazing amount of spin on the ball, its ridiculous how loopy it is. 2.) I have never heard him say that he will definitely win against an opponent.

    Should I get it?

    I was thinking about getting a red nixon outsider watch on e_bay. Its currently at $82, but i already have one. I'm extremely tempted to get another one because of how cheap it is right now. I got my last one for $105. But they are so cool!!! I know that I don't need another, but I cant resist...

    Grip master weight?

    I was thinking about buying one of the grip masters to exercise my fingers and improve my grip. I was wondering which one i should get, im leaning towards the 7lb per finger red one. I usually lift 25lb dumbbells and have pretty good forearm strength.

    Wrist Pain?

    I had wrist pain problems a while back. Try stretching your wrists before playing. One of the easiest ways to stretch it is by hold a tennis ball in the hand and rotating it clockwise and counterclockwise, make sure your are only moving your wrist when rotating the ball, this really helped me out.

    Does the LM Radical MP perform well?

    I prefer the LM OS, it has a giant sweetspot and it really complements my topspin game. Its also deadly at the net, it has enough power to put away balls when i do half swings. The MP version was also pretty good, i just didnt think it was as forgiving as the OS.

    How do you know when strings are "dead"

    I consider my strings dead when all of my topspin shots go into the net, even shots from feeds. By then, they have no feel at all.

    I messed up the first cross.

    I accidentally started the 1st cross from the left side instead of the right. I tied the starting knot on the right side, but then i went all the way across the head and started the 1st cross from the left. It looks alright, but the starting and ending cross knots are both on the right side. Is...

    New Machine?

    This is the older version of the x-2. It is in the progression series of stringers. And yes it has been up there for quite a while.

    Tourna Grip is good but it made my hands bleed, recommendations?

    Yonex supergrap. Its my favorite. It doesnt feel like it will absorb much, but it absorbs as much if not more than tourna grip. Plus it has a soft feel.

    How come I rarely ever break strings?!?

    The string gauge. Do u use 16? Most ppl with thin string gauge break their strings. And it could also b cuz of climate. Temperature and humidity affect the strings.
