    Best NON RACQUET tennis items you have thrifted or yard saled

    I passed on an autographed Washington Kastles Kevin Anderson shirt for $7. It was after his retirement, before he came back and I was like I’m never going to wear this and I’m not big into autographs. Still cool to see.

    Best NON RACQUET tennis items you have thrifted or yard saled

    Anyways, I don’t want this thread to be about money. Nice find. Just state how much each item found cost. A tennis polo new these days runs for $35 plus. Crazy. I love to thrift.

    Best NON RACQUET tennis items you have thrifted or yard saled

    They have to be under $6 each for them to be good. Did you purchase? Any stains? Lol, who is donating such new items? Nice finds.

    Best NON RACQUET tennis items you have thrifted or yard saled

    Probably around the same time as the racquet. Ace Face JR was my first racquet in 1990. Purple with orange strings.

    Fake nCode nPro?

    Oops. 17 years later, wow . Year 2023 here. Lime green and white. Not a Surge. I see plenty reviews about the other Ncode but not this 18 X 18 one. How does she play?

    Fake nCode nPro?

    Hey, im just going to piggy back this thread seven years later rather than create a new thread. I just picked up two Ncode nPros from my thrift store for $4.49 each. 18 X 18 string pattern. I can’t find much information on this racquet as far as RA (stiffness). I can’t dig up any reviews. Anyone...

    Are bathroom break allow during a super tie-breaker?

    lol Chris Eubanks with a case of diarrhea @Citi Open this year. He was willing to forfeit a game if he could take a toilet timeout.

    Best items you found at thrift stores (Goodwill)?

    No problem, move the lead to 2 and 10 o’clock. Find the setup that works for you. You do realize that Yonex just needs to paint these racquets over and stamp their name on them before selling them for $260.

    Wow, Prince racquets are so underrated. That’s perfect for customization. I’d thrown on some lead tape at 3 and 9 o’clock before taking her for a hit.

    Just scooped up a Head Special Edition Master for $4. I think its composite or early graphite. Glossy white and made in the United States by AMF Head. Also popped on a Wilson T3000 with leather cover, Dunlop Black Max with cover and Wilson Hyper Hammer.

    Best items you found at thrift stores (Goodwill)?

    Hey friends! I scooped up a Macgregor Bergelin today for $4 American. Is this racquet even legal? The strings are strung in a Diamond formation opposed to square and the outer frame is a cluster f&ck of strings. Other finds include a TA Davis Imperial, Arthur Ashe Competition, and a Spalding...

    Best NON RACQUET tennis items you have thrifted or yard saled

    Here it is. There’s a similar forum in the classic racquet section. But this thread is specifically for classic NON RACQUET items you have found on the cheap, i.e. shorts, tops, sneakers, bags. And please not from Play it Again Sports as I don’t consider that a thrift store as their items have...

    Don’t give any charity games. You literally will have to blow everyone off the court to rise up to your correct number. Don’t say anything to them for the purpose of the thread please. I have ranged from UTR 4-7 myself as a 4.5 ntrp lol.

    2023 Mubadala Citi DC Open

    Yes those North Baseline seats on Harris were heavenly. I wasn’t sure if they were marked as they seem so bougie but the usher encouraged me to walk in and I got a front row seat behind Watanuki and Auger Alliasime. Definitely nice to have a chair back as opposed to a bleacher seat.

    2023 Mubadala Citi DC Open

    The ATP and WTA are equal opportunitiy employers. No one figured a fifty year old man or woman would want to fetch balls in 85*F heat lol. I have seen them for awhile now too. Actually recognize a lot of the same faces from year to year as they are easy to distinguish from their 16 year old...

    2023 Mubadala Citi DC Open

    Well I went today and it was a cluster to say the least. I don’t know if has to do with the Arab name change or what but for starters the shuttle bus was running late. In years a past I park by Geico and jump on one or a dozen shuttles well before noon when the box office opens so I can grab a...

    Tourna Tuff XL overgrip PLAYTEST!!

    Without reading all the comments I’m assuming Tourna Tuff is basically the original Tourna I grew up on in the Nineties. Their grips have gotten cheaper and don’t last nearly as long in the 2000s through now due to what, cheaper materials? I’m sure they lost a lot of customers.

    2023 Mubadala Citi DC Open

    Dang. They’ve had a free shuttle bus in past years from Geico in Friendship Heights directly to the ticket sales gate. Anybody know if that’s still available. If I have to Uber and all that I may as well stay home and watch it in air conditioning.
