    Solinco racquets?

    In reference to the mold - it seems to me that it's the same as Dunlop 300g/ Tecnifibre T-fight 320/335 - maybe TF sold their molds to Solinco when they adopted the Marcos Baghdatis Fischer Mpro1 molds. I could be wrong, but the handle looks a bit too square, not enough taper. ~Tursa

    Grigor Dimitrov update

    I don't know if that is a totally recent video. Looks to me like Aussie Open time he was in green Adidas like verdasco and an updated BLX Wilson racquet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox97-DQdm00&NR=1 ~Tursa

    Avatar! (believe the hype)

    I love this movie and I have saved mine and my friends' 3D glasses with the ticket stubbs for souvenirs. Just watch it so you can understand that it's amazing we have the technology now to make this movie possible...not only that but I'm 21 and that should mean (fingers crossed) I have decades...

    Sorry Murray - The American Dream

    Malakas I adore you. Don't blame a man that went through a Russian phase. It only speaks towards the progression of a jingo-istic nation under shifting social traditions. I am true blue american - but I started playing tennis in the "New Balls Please" era when Hewitt, Ferrero, Safin, and...

    Sorry Murray - The American Dream

    Actually best compliment ever received on TT boards. Thank you Rhino - no matter how deeply laced with sarcasm that statement was. we are nothing if not tenacious. ~Tursa

    Sorry Murray - The American Dream

    I don't think Pete is one for speeches. One sweeping exclamation: about American Tennis returning to prominence in one clean sweep and how he doesn't need to come out of retirement anymore. ~Tursa

    Sorry Murray - The American Dream

    as for Murray - Roddick is going to thump him and meet Federer in the final. Pete Sampras will be there to present the trophy to Fed for breaking the record, but Roddick will rock the upset of the Millenium. The Bryans or Blake/Fish will take the doubles. Sampras will grab the microphone and...

    your picture...

    I never thought I would really show my face to the TT community. I don't really have any pictures of me playing - just blurry serving motion. I didn't get to see Meg's picture before the photobucket link went away! (she must be really attractive to have like 400 pages spent offending...

    Ginepri Using New Pure Storm

    The 6 O'clock area on this frame is black in the same way that the GT PureDrives have red. so clearly this is a GT updated cosmetic. ~Tursa

    How many of you were glasses?

    My right eye is astigmatism toric -2.25 my left is 1.25 I don't know what it means it seems strange since others are saying 6s or 7s. but I'm like 20/200 right and 20/30 left and got contacts before glasses when i was 15. the whole time though apparently I was overcompensating with my...

    Racket customization with SW2

    I have my preference so take it with a grain of salt. It took me awhile to figure out that I don't like head-light racquets I do like a lighter racquet with more mas towards the head - just not head heavy. So I have like 3 inch strips of lead tape on four sides of the grip pallet and...

    Racket customization with SW2

    I don't know if I may chime in. I very often get called a bizarre cult worshipper whenever I say I concur with these theories. But I do. I use SW2 and I serve big and my groundstrokes are lethal. the weight is not a problem so much as finding the right grip and strings that make whatever...

    Roger Federer on Facebook?

    I'm so impressed that he actually posted a video! He said he wanted to "clear the air" about whether his fan page was legitimate or not. Do you think he actually saw this poll?! http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1150188000383 Roger it's freakin' sweet that you would reach...

    Why don't more players drop-shot Nadal?

    Verdasco has a brilliant drop shot. One of the best points I had ever seen was against Murray, i think at USopen. Matchpoint down - Verdasco pins Murray to the duece corner with two of the hardest inside out forehands of the match, Murray reflects them right back, and Verdasco in a flash -...

    What are Federer's racquet specs(grip, weight, tension)?

    I appreciate being in the with brain category, but that doesn't mean I don't like fanning the flames of conspiracy. If I may digress the conversation - It is well documented that Safin's Prestiges are lighter out of the factory so he can customize them how he sees fit and still end up near the...
