Safin underachieved ....... Kafelnikov overachieved. Both were up and down in their careers.

I think I have tried all these 85s except that Chris Evert.... neat frame BTW....FOR A GIRL! That pro select 110 is wicked soft. I am not an oversize fan but I might have to give one a try. Problem is I would probably have to put kevlar in it to stop from spraying balls. I think there is a...

not bad. I use the slice a lot... you can really tear peoples games apart with a good slice. Especially with deep to short combos. Only problem is when you run up against another slice artist or someone who jumps at any oppportunity to take the net.

thats one of the first things you do to feel out a player. You give them a short ball and see what they are capable of.

I just fill my handles up as a base to start and then match any weight differences with lead tape. My frames are all very heavy but also very head light. biggest benefit to useing silicone it it give the frame a more solid feel and doesnt feel like your plaing with a cheap plastic baseball...

I serve and volley as well. Thats highly strategic though and I can spend a couple hours just going into that. One of my favorite plays on return games once the point is started is very, very simple. You go deep up the middle to not give any angle and jump on the first short ball for the...

LOL.. yeah I was pretty shocked when I tested them.... great... new crap frames from wilson etc. Then I started hitting with them and I couldnt believe it. I kept going stiffer and stiffer and was kind of in disbelief that they could make a stiff frame feel that muted. I remember wilson was...

The one I handled look like the 104 version of the prestige but a little thicker all around. I got the feeling Head made it useing one of their old molds of a 104 head size frame. There used to be quite a few of those in the head lineup in the 80s and early 90s.

serve by far. The Toss is the key to unlocking the serve for beginners.

Not saying I disagree with you. I am of the Omega male type on this rediculous scale of Man types created to divide men from other men. Its all a bunch of social division BS.....divide and conquer tactics. Thats what all these categories and diagnoses of the human psyce are.

sometimes its a born trait. Sometimes it is a result of ones dealing with the hurdles of life. With Nadal its deffinitly a born in trait. He has always been like this. His brain just operates differently. I am not making fun of Nadal BTW. Its just what is.

am I doing that LOL?

So you look at a Ham as an alpha male. Male stripper types.

Oh I understand all right. You do realize this whole alpha/beta male thing is just a psyop right? Chill out and have a little fun. We are all men here. Nadal is rainman.... its not that he is not a quiter... its that quiting is something ompossible for him to contemplate. Kind of like a...

sounds like your going in circles trolling now. Never giving in is a big part of being an Alpha Male. Nadal isnt realy elligable.... He is more like Rainman.

Maybe but I doubt it. I could see Cash fighting dirty though.

yes it does.... think about it. He may have acted like azz but he always had guts. Connors also lost a lot too..... but he never gave up. That is not what bratty teenagers do. They just quit and invent reasons to lose and underachieve.

As opposed to the competitors today... Roger is the GOAT..... Rafa is the best ever ....blah, blah, blah...Lets combine tours... hold hands....

Um... it certainly does.

LOL... Connors is the most important figure in the history of the game IMO. There is no modern tennis without Connors. "Get Me Laver!". -Jimmy Connors

its not just physical damage...I see this every day https://www.psychguides.com/behavioral-disorders/cell-phone-addiction/signs-and-symptoms/

Cash was a bit of a bully as well.... on court. Lendl was known for being a jerkoff outside the court. Part of this is the culture they grow up in. Lots of Czechs are like that. German can be pretty hard as well. Italians... south americans etc. etc. I can get along with everyone for the...

Connors and Lendl almost got into it once. I think Connors wanted to take it outside and Ledl looked at him like WTF???? Cant remember what match it was they played each other so much. I still have to go with Cash though. He actually got into a brawl with Ivan once LOL. Cash also gave...

yes he should....Jimmy is special

I dont think you guys know what an alpha male is. Its not just getting women. If that was the case it would be Rafter.

Sampras is known to have an occasional smoke. There used to be a picture of him smoking on a cigarette out there at a party. These people are not monks.

Roger cries more than any top athlete I have ever seen. No alpha male carries a purse. He is straight up girly. Great player but lets not kid ourselves.

Connors is waaay up there even though he was a mommas boy. Closest thing we have had to Elvis.... also a mommas boy BTW. Pat Cash was pretty darn Alpha and if you called him anything else he would probably start a fight with you. Patrick Rafter got the most women and could get away with...

Allthough IMO 99.9% of modern racquets are junk......I actually really liked most of the original Triads when they came out. I was playtesting all of them. Even the superlight and stiff ones had that muted feel. Deffinitly a different feeling kind of frame. If I had to play with a beginner...
