    One year and a 14 year old is a 3.5. Can be become pro?

    Dude, why are you asking for advice in here? It's not like anyone here has experience about going pro. Just go to an academy who's turned out pros and see if they'll accept you.

    New Dunlop Aerogel 4D 100, 200 Tour, 600, 700, and The Legend at Thailand Open 2009

    Anyone know if the grommet for the AG100 4D will fit the AG100? I want to know if I should start hoarding them now. I had a problem with when the MFil 200 16x19 grommet got discontinued

    I cant close it out...but I can self destruct lol

    Just ignore LeeD. That guy's a cranky old fart I think you probably just need to practice more. I had a big problem with DF's but I kept working on my putting spin on my serve and eventually it got better. Still no pace on it but that's what I'm working on right now. I don't even try to hit...

    60 lbs seems pretty high for this frame. I've played with a LM Prestige MP & MG Rad Pro before and I like the AG100 much more LM Prestige MP was too flexy for me. And I didn't like the dense string pattern MG Rad Pro felt too stiff even strung at 52 lbs. And swing weight too high. I...

    How would a modern 4.5 player fare against Evert in her prime?

    You don't get it. A pro would view a 4.5 the same way you view a 2.5. No weapons. Yes they are THAT GOOD

    How would a modern 4.5 player fare against Evert in her prime?

    Let me reverse the question. You're about a 4.0 no? Don't you think you could double bagel a 2.5 every time - 100% of the time? That's what a pro thinks of a 4.5

    How would a modern 4.5 player fare against Evert in her prime?

    Yeah but I'm talking about 4.5 vs 6.0. I don't know about you, but, I play with one 4.5 with a bomb serve and I've had teachers who were 5.0+ and one recent Div 1 player as a teacher. 4.5 guy kills me with his serve, but I doubt my teachers would have any probs with it. He hits it hard...

    How would a modern 4.5 player fare against Evert in her prime?

    Nah, I don't think a 4.5 could ANY games off a WTA pro. 4.5 is not good enough. If 7.0 woman = 6.0 man, then do the math. It's like saying a 4.5 could get a game off a 6.0 man.

    How would a modern 4.5 player fare against Evert in her prime?

    Dude a 4.5 isn't that good. I hit regularly with 4.5 and he beats me regularly but he's nowhere near the level of my coach who's about 5.5. And that guy is nowhere the level of my last coach who recently played #1 seed at a Div 1 school. Nobody but the 4.5 plays USTA so I don't know their...

    Slice backhand and kick serve problems.

    I respect that but this is how I was taught. I was also taught to take a carioca step when I hit a slice so the ball has to be in front to do this. The key is forward momentum If I hit a slice near my body it's more of a defensive shot and and it's only near my body because I didn't have...

    How many pros still hit their Forehand using an Eastern Grip ?

    How can anyone hit a FH with conti. Seems so weird

    Slice backhand and kick serve problems.

    Can't help with serve but for slice BH. Conti grip. High to low swingpath. Weight moving forward. Hit in front The weight moving forward and hitting out in front was the hardest for me to get right. Another thing is be careful not to 'scoop' up the ball from the bottom. That makes it go up

    Who should hit the Windshield wiper forehand

    Have you tried between Eastern & Semi Western? That's what I use and I didn't have any problems with WW or over the shoulder finish.

    Who should hit the Windshield wiper forehand

    Yeah but that sounds like you're recommending the OP to use the western grip. BTW he didn't ask what grip is the best he asked 'who' should learn the WW.

    Nice xenophobic statement there. I love when people preface with 'I don't want to be offensive...BUT...' then say something totally offensive

    Dampener Just for anyone who didnt like poly on this frame. I just tried a dampener on my racquet strung with Big Ace 50lbs. It doesn't make that 'ping' sound anymore. It's very nice and muted. And also vibrates less and I fell less flex. Now I really like poly on this frame more so...

    I have an extra TW thin/wide leather grip on my 3/8 AG100 that I'm going to replace. It's pretty new I've only had it for 2 weeks only with overgrip. Hopefully the 2 sided tape won't come off. Let me know if you want it. I can mail it to you. It was too thin for me and I'm getting...

    Nadal is the favorite to win this year's US Open...

    I agree with you. He has a chance if someone else takes out Fed. But that a BIG "if". I still think Fed is favorite to win.

    Brainwashed Venus

    FWIW. The murderer was affiliated with the Crips. The house they she was shot in front of was a suspected drug house. Yetunde Price's companion/ boyfriend, Rolland Wormley was a convicted felon who also has had an affiliation with gangs. There's different stories from the newspapers...
