Thanks for the responses! Yeah I don't think it was necessarily the Asics that gave me the stress fracture, but I thought that maybe some shoes would better at protecting the foot. I got some insoles and some barricades. I'll post if they work well. Thanks!

Hi, I had a third metatarsal stress fracture earlier last February. It took 6 weeks in a boot to recover from it. I have started to feel some of the same symptoms again and have decided to stop playing until I am pain free. I have noticed that my foot tends to hurt more in my tennis shoes than...

I sprained my ankle about 6 weeks ago. Unfortunately i did not take very good care of it the first week. I was on my way to a vacation and thought it wasnt a big deal so i didn't take the correct precautionary steps like icing reguarly or elevating it. The first 3-4 days it hurt to walk and i...

5 APUSH 5 AP Psych :-)

As my collection of m-fil 300's dwindles down, i've decided a racquet switch is in order. I like the general feel of the 300's but i'd like a little more heft, power and stability, especially on returns and volleys. I feel like lately i've been getting pushed around by bigger hitters...

Hey im just starting to get back into playin some tournaments again after a decently long break. First tournament win :cool: http://tennislink.usta.com/tournaments/Draws/EventDraw.aspx?T=73552&E=1 Followed by my crappiest match lifetime :(...

funny you should ask. Im actually 16, 5 foot 10 and 135 lbs. I run the mile in 4:50 although i cheat and run cross country.

lol dont use polyester string

thats garbage, i've had 3 pairs of New Balance tennis shoes replaced. The 1002, 780, and another 1002 pair. No trouble at all.

hey, does anyone have any tips for leading up my M-fils. My goal weight would be around 11.7-11.8 oz and i'd like it to be a more solid/forgiving if possible

ehh i dont know about the 200 16X19. From what i've read it has less pop than the 300 which is definitley not what im looking for. Also the swingweight is very low. Im going to try the above lead suggestion. If im not a fan (i havent liked the feel of lead tape on the 300 in the past) my...

thanks for the suggestions i've tried lead tape in the past with minimal success but i could give it another shot. Where/how much would you suggest putting on? If that doesnt pan out, i am going to need a new racquet. The main thing im looking for is a little more solidity/heft on...

Im a junior player currently using the Dunlop M-fil 300, my current set-up is Mains- Head RIP control 16 @59 Crosses- PSGD 16 @ 55 I've decided i need to move on from these and am looking for something with a little more heft/solidity on returns, and overall power for serves ect. I dont want...

keep in mind the durability of this setup will be pretty awful. I am not an especially big hitter and i broke my PSGD mains Big Ace Crosses setup in 5-6 hours pretty consistently. Considering i play 2-3 hours a day it burned a hole in my wallet pretty quickly.

hmm well, i currently have quite a stock of 16 gauge so i'd prefer to use that if possible and i know its completely ridiculous but every 17g poly i've ever used has snapped on me from a mishit or something similar, of course i did mishit a bit more back then but still i'd like to avoid that if...

I am currently using a set-up consisting of PSGD 16 @ 59 on the mains and Big Ace 16 @ 55 on the crosses. I love it, except it only gives me around 4-6 hours of play before the PSGD is toast. I tried putting Big Ace on the mains and lowering the tension to 57-53 except that hurt my arm. Does...

Would anyone care to post a picture of their blue Asics Gel Resolution. I personally think the TW pic of them looks sick but i've seen pics on other websites where they do not look quite as flattering. So, If someone could post a pic of them it would be much appreciated. thanks

i agree, i have yet to find an overgrip that keeps its tack nearly as well as this one

hey chris, how are you liking the asics gel game? I was looking at picking up a pair myself. Could you possibly do a little review comparing them to the challengers? If so it'd be much appreciated

prince sythetic gut w/ duraflex solid all-around string

Lately i have been stringing my Mfil 300s with maxim touch 16 in the mains and big ace 16 in the crosses. However, i've started to play a little more and now break that combo within a week to 10 days for both racquets alternating days. They both broke in a tournament over the weekend which left...

I am looking for a synthetic gut reel, the main thing i am looking for is decent all-around play and good durability (for a synth. gut). I noticed psgd is much more expensive that other synthetic guts. Is there a good reason for this, or would it be fine just to buy a reel of Gosen Micro for 30...

hey, lol i string my own racquets both of which i strung on the same day with the same string, lol so i dont think thats it. Oh and they were not matched originally. They were about 4-5 g's off and about 2 pts of balance off. So i added weight to both until they were the same.

I leaded up my M-fil 300's so that they are now the exact same weight and balance (320g/about 3 pts HL). However, i can still detect very noticeable differences between them. One has a "crisp" sort of feel, less power and for some reason it seems more manueverable. The other feels very...

Mass. 3 singles 2 Doubles occur simultaneously, top 2 singles players must play 1-2 and 1st doubles must be better than 2nd each match is 1 point, so match is 3 out of 5

i am also wondering this, and also, it says in the tw "learning center", that it is possible to make your own. How exactly would one go about doing that?

wow, that stamford club is ridiculously stacked

Hey, i dont want to spam, but i figured this might be a good place to post, im not getting any luck in the "wanted section". I am looking for 2 M-fil 300's in a 3/8 grip size (so i cant order from TW). It would be great if they were matched, but its fine as long as there reasonably close that...

I have a couple friends who are just beginning tennis and are looking to buy their first racquets. They are both pretty athletic but with about average strength i guess. They have progressed pretty quickly and are looking to develop more "professional looking" strokes (right now they are...
