    GARCIA BORON COMPOSITE OVER WOOD CORE made in USA

    I used a demo model of the Boron in a tournament summer of 79. I felt I had a good 20% power advantage over my standard wood frame. I pushed my opponent around, and finished points easily. But I couldn't afford to buy it. I remember it costing $100.00 A Wilson JK Autograph was $40.00.

    Anybody still using a "Classic" racket (1990s and earlier) as their main racket?

    Head changed how they measured the size.102 sq. in. was the outer edge of the hoop. 99 sq in. was on the inside of the hoop. to bring Head inline with all the other manufacturers. It's still my favorite frame.

    Prince Original Graphite ( POG ) Mid and OS versions

    Unfortunately, I'm returning mine. They sent 4 1/4 instead of 4 1/2. I usually buy 4 5/8, so 1/4 is out of the question. Bummer

    Black Horse and the Cherry Tree- KT Tunstall has been banned at my job. But the only station that can come in clearly is the Easy Listening station. It's understood that the nearest person to the radio turns it off whenever it comes on.

Vocalizing (screaming) grunts should be banned with a loss of point penalty. Both examples are poor sportsmanship. Tennis is supposed to be played with a high sense of fair...

    Did you enjoy 90s fast court tennis?

    This match has stayed in my all-time Top 5 since the day I saw it live on TV. It was the two best offensive players of their generation playing at their highest level. Both nearly doubled their winners to errors ratio. Have you ever played a match when you and your opponent are playing at...
