    Looking for ~$1500-2000 stringer

    I can't find any of my old stringing tools, does anybody know what tools the Stringmaster Deluxes LE V3 ships with?

    Looking for ~$1500-2000 stringer

    I pulled the trigger on the Stringmaster Deluxe LE V3. Waiting is going to be the hardest part.

    Ask me anything; proton vs slinger vs titan ace - ball machine battle royale

    Is there any way to setup the Proton to run a drill with random shots? I'm deciding between the Titan Ace and Proton and one of the things I would like to do is just set up the machine and have it hit balls all over the court with varying speeds and trajectory.

    Looking for ~$1500-2000 stringer

    Is there anything you don’t like about the DLEV3? Yeah I think I just gotta pull the trigger and go all out. Pricing them out, the Stringway Deluxe LE V3 (with premium stand which is currently available) comes to about $2290 and the MT-400 Tomcat comes to $1680 including shipping. Guess I’m...

    Looking for ~$1500-2000 stringer

    Hi all I’m currently looking to upgrade my stringing machine. I’ve only ever used tabletop Gamma drop weight machines. I saw the thread regarding the Apex Speed and the CS-350. Those two are definitely on the shortlist for what I’d like to get. The base clamps on the Alpha seem to be a big...

    Switching from multi to natural gut

    I just got my hands on some of that cheapo auction gut and strung it smoothly. Took a lot of care to do it right, but it sure took a while. Now I'm ready to try a good gut. Haven't settled on a tension yet, but I am wary of starting too high as I do have a tendency to play with my x-one...

    Switching from multi to natural gut

    Thanks for the input guys. To those who recommend a pre-stretch, do you mean just manually stretch it as I uncoil it? Or do you mean tie it around a post and pull gently back on it like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=praasXlb0Ls)? gotwheels: that's exactly the plan, play it until it...

    Switching from multi to natural gut

    Thank you. I wonder if Wilson will eventually also adopt the newer VS. My guess is that no one has any information on that?

    Switching from multi to natural gut

    Hi folks, I have a quick question regarding string tensions. I currently play with X-one biphase 16 gauge at 52 pounds of tension. I am not at all a string breaker and can play with this string well past its playability before it breaks, so I frequently have to cut it out and restring fresh...

    Serena Williams Hospitalized With Blood Clot Issue

    I am a physician, and it is not uncommon for a patient with a PE to be perfectly fine within a day or two of starting therapy. In fact, studies show that more than 25% of patients with pulmonary emboli have hospital stays of less than 4 days.

    What makes the KPS88 so easy to hit with?

    Yeah I experimented with rackets that were more than 12 points headlight, but still in the 350s for swingweight and nearly 14 ounces of static weight. Way too much head speed and power with that type of racket in my opinion.

    What makes the KPS88 so easy to hit with?

    I personally think its the weight and the distribution of the weight. Its not a very headlight frame, so there is a lot of weight distributed in the hoop, giving it a high swingweight and very high twistweight. Also, many of the newer frames I've played with in recent years have very low...

    Del Potro Switching to New Wilson Stick

    Would Stosur be nearly as good without all the technology?

    And tennis would also never be allowed on any television channel, nobody would watch that. You would sacrifice the popularity of the sport for your own personal belief (which is obviously not shared by the vast majority of posters on this forum)? And I highly doubt for a millisecond that any...

    Who Loves the Head Prestige YouTek MP?

    I think part of it is loyalty. There are plenty of tennis players who love head rackets and have gone through the different iterations of them and continue to stick to Head. They do build a quality product afterall. Personally, I am going to have to add quite a bit of weight and do a lot of...

    Henin Comes to terms with Incident!

    Probably the most ridiculous post of the thread. Definitely when you take into account the font size changes and bolding of certain statements to make sure that imbeciles like myself can understand the point. Lets replay events of that incident in chronological order: 1. Clijsters hits the...

    Henin Comes to terms with Incident!

    Then what is she complaining about? Henin may have held her hand up very late in which case the umpire does not have to grant her time anyway. Additionally, Serena makes a huge deal of it after the fact because Henin had her hand raised. If the serve is an ace and Serena then sees Henin's...

    Henin Comes to terms with Incident!

    This thread has become a joke. Its basically dwindled down to Henin-****s arguing with Serena-****s about an issue that was blown out of proportion by Serena after she lost the match. There is no point in arguing whether or not the match outcome would have been different had this not happened...

    Henin Comes to terms with Incident!

    If Henin raises her hand for time and Serena sees her hand (which is what happened in the 2003 French Open match), and then Serena continues her motion (which she did) and the serve is an ace and the umpire does not reward Henin with a timeout, is Serena going to say to the umpire "hey lets...

    Henin Comes to terms with Incident!

    Barry is automatically excluded from the "greatest baseball players" conversation because of his illegal performance enhancing substance abuse. Using steroids and being considered a great athlete are mutually exclusive.

    Fed challenges "in" call on his own serve

    That sucks. In the clubs around here, we don't call our own balls out. I don't think its actually a rule, more of an unwritten rule whereby the opponent has to call all of our balls out. I kind of like it, because BS like your situation is avoided. Although on the flipside there are some...

    Henin Comes to terms with Incident!

    Absolute agreement. Henin asked for time, which she is allowed to do. 1. If the umpire had granted time and the ball hit the net, no worries, no harm. Serena gets her first serve back. Henin might not be so happy 2. If the umpire had granted time and the ball been a good serve, then...

    Racquets with foam/silicon..

    There have been some forum users who have found silicone in some their Dunlop frames (ie. Buy a pair of Dunlop 4D AG 200 rackets and one has silicone, but the other does not); Probably used to weight and balance the frame properly.

    No such thing as an unwritten rule. The only rules that count are the ones in the rulebook.
