ytex touch might be nice for that frame. i've got a rd-7 in my bag atm strung hybrid with ytex microfiber-x mains/ touch crosses (because i need some help). between those two, touch is less launch-y and a bit more durable (if that matters). nice score! they just don't paint 'em like that...

miyoshi came up a bit short today in the challenger sf but imvho he showed flashes that in addition to having firepower he could also be a very heady player and tactician. we watched ozolins play early in the qualies this week and he seemed flat. he was serving big but it seemed like once the...

who knew??? ;)

according to the radar gun at atkins, ozolins was hitting serves in the vicinity of 132 mph yesterday...

according to parsabombs' ig, the illini men have collected verbal commits from nick mekhael and jon gamble for the class of 2026. in the meantime they've redshirted mroz, bowers, guzauskas, viiala. it looks like they're gonna roll this season with a roster of 8...i hope the injury bug stays away...

seriously though, i'm just a volunteer.

i agree that i'd appreciate a paint job that pops more. i personally dug the 2021 graphic (although the durability of that graphic is pretty poor). i'd even be okay if they went with something closer to the 2019 pj (1 accent color on each side; pic for reference)

now, i get the point you're trying to make but i just have to point out bob's burgers is awesome.

...on dagobah... ;)

as far as i'm concerned, arthur ashe will always be the goat when it comes to announcers. watching wimbledon was an absolute treat even if you had zero awareness about the players. not only did he thoroughly understand the game he could explain it in such a way that you would understand it too...

i hope they're not done. they've got some nice looking kits and some talented players wearing them.

my wife is all about those maui jims! i've been wearing my prescription oakleys so much one of the students i coach was shocked to see me without them at night practice!

coach dancer just celebrated his 20th anniversary on the illini coaching staff this weekend.

are there any plans to stock the yonex percept 100L? if so can you advise an eta on some demo frames?

you betcha! i strung it that low because of a shoulder injury and it just stuck.

quite a bit off topic but i've got the ripstick 280 strung with lightning @45 lbs. and that is like my favorite "feeding stick" ever.

i haven't seen much of his sticks since college but iirc he had a decent amount of lead up the sides of the hoop. just to the mark 1 eyeball, it sure looked like a 98 (too big for a 95).

see previous post. i miss paint jobs like this!

oh look, the guy with the agassi avatar is here to lobby for "image is everything" but i miss the paint jobs from some of the late 80s/ early 90s frames (the originals are too heavy for this old man now). pics for reference:

according to this article from 2018, 5,564 racquets were strung at the french open that year. at the standard 30 euro rate, that would amount to 166, 920 euros ($181,719.47 usd). https://www.ubitennis.net/2018/06/business-stringing-rackets-french-open/

i am right there with you. the soft grommets across the bridge and @ 3 & 9 oclock are prone to disintegration. i've got 2 used xls (and one that still has plastic on the handle) and 3 of the black and red tour ones. i've been able to use fittex grommets for the ones in the throat and i'm...

are you saying that edberg would have been able to serve ivanisevic off the court if he had a bigger serve? that's something sampras couldn't do when he played goran in the semis that year. the way i see it, agassi is the only player who had a chance at beating ivanisevic at wimbledon in 92.

even though i have heard numerous stories about a drop in quality and despite witnessing several defective balls at our futures tournament, i still cast my vote for my beloved, the venerable wilson u.s. open...the heart wants what it wants...

i saw neb got one, i've seen mich and mich state added a couple i think. have the illini added a player that i'm not aware of?

i guess it could be worse. she could have the british press writing "gems" about her like they did seles in 1991... https://www.chicagotribune.com/1991/06/27/seles-pullout-fodder-for-tabloids/

you caught up with these guys??? ;)

its kinda sad to see cornet hang it up. i thought she was a fun player to watch who could crack some forehands.
