    Tecnifibre Synthetic Gut 16 Reel?

    Thats exactly what happened. I found Gosen a bit too dead and not "stretchy." I prefer soft strings that have a bit of snap back to them and unfortunately I didn't really like Gosen Have you guys ever used Forten Sweet 16? How does it compare to that? Forten Sweet is pretty lively and so I was...

    Tecnifibre Synthetic Gut 16 Reel?

    I'm looking to switch from Forten Sweet 16 to something a bit more affordable and stumbled upon this reel for a mere $35. I'd like to try it but TW only sells it as a reel and doesn't offer a 40" set. There doesn't seem to be many reviews of this string so I'm wondering if anyone on this...

    Upset of Nadal a breath of fresh air

    The answer is yes. The last time we got a new round of champions was practically a decade ago. Even during Pete's heyday we had some really interesting competitors come up and shake up the slams and even win some of them. I'd like the field to turn into something like the World Cup. Some good...

    Golden Team tennis rackets?

    Does anyone here know anything about golden team tennis rackets? I recently picked up a racket from a thrift store from the company and a google search shows almost nothing about the company. In fact the only literature I can find about Golden Team are listings on ****. The one I have in...

    4th Round: Gasquet - Ferrer

    this match really depends all on how gasquet composes himself. If he just defends all day like in this second set its gonna be short. He's gotta bust out his guns and take some chances.

    Tsonga vs Djokovic Rogers Cup Montreal

    What just happened? Tsonga complains of injury and yet seems to have no trouble playing against djokovic. He says he can't play anymore but has extended rallies, blasts returns back and runs down balls. And even then once he starts losing he pulls out the oldest trick in the french playbook...

    Which classic racquet would you most like to be brought back?

    I shot an email and this was their reply: Thank you for contacting Tennis Warehouse. As of today it is not possible to pre-order the Wilson Prostaff 6.0 85. But I spoke with a supervisor and they said that the racquet should be available for pre-sale by tomorrow or Friday. Once the racquet...

    15 gauge nylon ????

    You can confirm this yourself using a simple soccerball and the palm of your hand. First put your hand in pimp smack mode, holding the fingers completely straight and closed together. Take your soccerball and then pimp smack it with the palm of your hand at a 45 degree angle. The ball will...

    Experience with Mutual power?

    I'm considering purchasing a mutual power stringing machine but it seems like there is virtually no user reviews of any of their current models. Anyone have any experience with their customer service or quality control?

    Is Upgrading to Crank Machines Worth It?

    Kevo, that is what I thought as well and what I was thinking when I used my friend's machine to string my own rackets. However, I have a lot of friends who have requested me to do their string jobs (I'm very knowledgeable when it comes to balancing rackets and string brands) and I anticipate...

    Is Upgrading to Crank Machines Worth It?

    Well from my understanding Lockout machines are simply not quite as accurate as CP machines and this can probably be made up for by stringing 3-5 lbs higher than estimated. I probably wouldn't be able to tell the different between 3 lbs anyway. beernutz, I would love to buy a Prince Neos but...

    Is Upgrading to Crank Machines Worth It?

    Hello all. I'm in the market for a new stringing machine or rather, actually owning my own stringing machine. I'm interested and curious as to how much time the more expensive machines actually save. Long story short, I used to own a Klippermate and now I use my friend's Gamma Progression II...

    Old Rackets, Lose Playability?

    Old rackets don't really lose playability so much as they get "broken in." Kinda like shoes. When you buy a new pair of shoes, it will be exactly the same as every other pair of shoe produced by that company. Once you begin to use that shoe, it starts to get broken in. The soles start to...

    Wrist and finger therapy?

    So I recently went back to poly and I've suddenly developed some wrist problems. I'm experiencing pain just right behind my thumb every time I pull it back and although there is no pain in my fingers, they are a little stiff/numb and harder to move than on my left hand. I'm pretty certain its...

    Whats the gain in stringing different tensions mains and crosses?

    I would imagine the only real benefit would be in getting more access to spin by pulling the mains tighter without having to deal with an overly stiff stringbed. Say for example you kept your strings at a low tension to keep it easy to play with but you find that you just need a bit more spin...

    Most Durable Synthetic gut?

    So I've tried but I just can't get used to the terrible tension maintenance of polyester or the terrible feel of kevlar and have decided to go back to synthetic gut. The problem is I break synthetic gut in a good 2 hours or less which makes restringing a big hassle for me. Can anyone suggest the...
