Upon closer inspection, looks like there is a very faint rounded letter to the right of the Y which would be the middle letter of a 3 letter code. Bet only the Y took when imprinted with the 3 letter code. I'm guessing the rounded letter is a Q. So St Vincent's?

I have an old Wilson Pro Staff I bought 30 years ago. It has midsize written on both sides, no head guard, raised throat grommets , no "R" trademark next to the red "W" on the butt cap, and a tension sticker of 65-70lbs. These characteristics suggest this is a Chicago version or possibly a...

After a year with the KPS88 I switched to the BLX90. They are as similar as any two racquets can be. The BLX swings a little easier but the KPS has more plow. The differences are small.

Get the BLX90 It's better.

Who said it was to difficult to find? Feels pretty big to me, bigger than the AG100 which I demoed. Maybe because it has more heft some of you can't get the timing right and have more mishits? To me the TW Prof is right on. The BLX90 has a big SS and the KPS88 has an even bigger one...

Not me. I like the BLX better. I think there is another thread with a poll. BLX90 beat out K90 but not by a lot.

I take anecdotal impressions with a grain of salt. I have more faith in science.

Nope. Based on TW Professor comparison the sweetspot of a BLX90 is 15.2 sq in compared to 12.3 sq for in the AG100. Big difference. But you are right, the plow through of a BLX90 is better than any current racquet except the KPS88. I've tried the AG100, 200, and 300. The BLX90 is in my...

I used to play with the KPS88 too but have switched to the BLX90. It has all the great attributes of the KPS but it has a lower swing weight and is noticeably more maneuverable. I like the BLX90 better than the KPS88 or the K90. Don't mess around with anything else. Nothing plays as good...

If thats the feel you like then why try to find something close, just play with the 90. I don't know why everyone is so afraid of a 90 head. I play much better with the BLX90 than I did with a bevy of 100sq in sticks. I thought I "needed" a modern stick. None of them had that great pro...

Really? Are typical tennis players that pathetic as athletes that they won't sprint to get a drop serve and then brood and resent you for it afterwards? The guys I play in singles are all good athletes. They don't mind running, in fact many of them actually play tennis to get a workout.

I disagree that a drop serve is busch league. I've been drop served by 4.5 and 5.0 players many times. Usually they are guys with huge serves who I have to play well behind the baseline to return. If I start having success in getting them back consistently they throw in a dropper to move me...

The whole thing makes no sense. I'm a 4.0 player. Overall record 16-4. Made Nationals in Tri level, sectionals in mixed dubs and sectionals in Men's 4.0. Was 4-1 in 4.o sectionals. The other 3 losses were in mixed dubs. Won all tri level matches. I stayed a 4.0. Guys on my team with...

Technically speaking I think the first tiebreak is actually the team with the least matches lost, followed by least number of sets lost, followed by least number of games lost. Of course in this case it won't matter because matches won will be the inverse of matches lost but if you were to tie...

Aren't you the alleged 4.5 player who claimed he hadn't played in years but came back as a self rated 3.5 just this year? You have 0.0 credibility.

Its nothing to me, I just find your posts very odd. When I first started reading this thread I thought it odd that a former 4.5 would be playing 3.5 but figured, OK, maybe he hadn't played in years and just picked up a racquet again. But then you posted that you had been hitting weekly with...

Agree 100%. Hopefully the Tennis Channel checks out this forum.

Again, what??? You mean to tell us that your strokes are at a 4.5 level but in a match you choke your way down from a 4.5 to a 3.5 level??? Come on. Nobody is buying that. Really, if a 3.5 team had a true sandbagging 4.5 or even 4.0 playing on a 3.5 team they would be loving it, NOT...

Something isn't right. OP says he was playing at a 5.0 level but now has to play 3.5(!) because he is rusty. Yet...in another post in this thread he says he has been hitting in a private session with a teaching pro "at least" once a week plus additional drill clinics for the last 2...

Spoiled princess alert. Waaaa! I lost my first match in 3 years, waaaaa!

The OP must be watching a different video. Nalby was smacking winners left and right. I didn't see a whole lot of rallying.

If you are playing other men and someone cries about being hit just tell him to grow a pair. It's a lightweight fuzzy little ball. Anyone who has every been hit with hockey pucks or lacrosse balls laughs at the prospect of being hit with a tennis ball. Chicks are another story. Got to read...

I string my APD GT with MSV Focus Hex 1.18 black. Great string. Not expensive. Looks great in the racquet. I string at 30lbs which may or may not be for you. See thread below. http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=319527

Buy it. Great racquet! I've tried many of the current top racquets and just switched to the APD GT. Very forgiving. Good power. Super spin. I love it. Anybody who says Babolat doesn't make good racquets is completely and hopelessly clueless. It is probably the most represented brand in...

MSV Focus Hex. $75 per reel. Awesome string!

I have reels of SPPP and MSV Focus Hex. They are both great strings but I like the MSV better. Plus you get get MSV in several colors (I like black). SPPP only comes in orange which looks crappy in some racquets.

MSV Focus Hex (black) 1.10 at 30lbs. Ridiculous crazy spin which is what the APD GT is all about.

I tried MSV Focus Hex in my APDGT at 30lbs based on this thread. I was shocked that it wasn't all that different than my normal tension of 56lbs. When I tried stringing at 52 the ball was flying on me but at 30lbs it was actually easier to control. Amazing. At low tension forehands were...

No. That's a really dumb idea. Everyone should just play their level. Mixing levels systematically defeats the purpose of levels in the first place which is to have competitive matches and not blowouts. Wrong again Murray. I will say one thing, you are consistent in your wrongness.:twisted:
