    Prior Military, get over here!

    Hey everybody! Use to float around here on the forums as a stupid high schooler and now I'm currently in, coming up on 2 years and about to pin on 1t Lt. Dad did 24 years enlisted (yes he was my first salute!) and I'm happy to be carrying on the family legacy of serving. Super happy to see...

    Best Wimbledon color combos?

    Even though the shoe colorway ended up being outlawed and was one of Federer's worst Wimbledon's, I loved the White and Orange from Wimbledon 2013

    Another crappy white t-shirt coming from Nike.

    Pretty sure those AF1's are a 1 of 1 pair for Roger.

    Testing out the new camera. Sticks are the Babolat Pure Strike 100. The neon green string is Solinco Hyper G, the light grey/silver String is Solinco Tour Bite Soft. Finally, fresh Tourna Grip to accent the subtle paint job :)

    Why did Adidas make an Arthur Ashe Tribute package with Basketball shoes instead of Tennis shoes?

    Did those laces come stock with the light blue Vapor 9.5's? None of the Vapor 9.5's I've purchased ever came with flat laces.

    Nike Spring 2017

    Nadal's kit looks just like Federer's Australian Open '15 kit (minus the shoe CW), just minor differences here and there.

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    I know. The milky cage of the new Barricade's reminded me of the new triple white Ultra Boost's cage.

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    Not a fan of the silhouette. The cage looks off especially with that "milky" color on the white ones. The milky cage reminds me of the cage on the Triple White Ultra Boosts 3.0 version, which I'm also not a fan of (the milky cage specifically, it's a great shoe). [/IMG]

    Does this new Rafa shirt rule or drool?

    Not a fan of that along with Federer's new Spring T-Shirt. Too bold and loud for my tastes.

    Cincinnati 2012 was an outstanding tournament for Federer, that first set bagel was amazing to watch.

    How would you rate the iridescent RF hats compared to the normal stitched ones? They look like they use the same hat except they used a heat-transferred RF monogram instead of the stitched RF monogram.

    Nike Spring 2017

    Did Nike ever release this henley? Fell in love the first time I saw Dimitrov wear it.

    Nike Lunar Vapor 7&8

    These were released a while ago, 2011 I believe. Your best bet would be the auction site, "discount stores" like Ross or even donation stores like Goodwill. Love the silhouette of these shoes. Any particular reason why you want these and not the newer and readily-available Vapor 9.5's?

    LOVE the box these came in. The drawer-style opening of the box felt very premium, even though it's just like any other non-flyknit Vapor 9.5. The NikeCourt accessory/keychain is a nice addition too.

    Any initial thoughts on them? I've been wanting to get a pair of Tennis Ultra Classic Flyknit's (especially the RF collection) but I've read that they aren't very comfortable.

    Heheh I wish I had the time though. College is pretty hectic with 17 credit hours plus extracurriculars.

    Not for me but found a nice pair of Zoom Cage 2's for $35 at a local Ross. Same size as my dad (8.5) so I hope he'll appreciate them!

    Federer to Wilson - "I want it painted black"

    Is that a glossy finish in the middle section of the racquet? Personally would have liked it all matte. Clean pj though.

    Have you accidently destroyed your racket while serving?

    Twice, within one week. The first instance was actually during overhead practice but the second time was during serving practice.

    Wilson pro overgrips

    I have been using the Pro Overgrip for about 2 years now and I've been satisfied with them. During the Fall/Winter periods they last me around 2-3 weeks. In the Spring/Summer seasons they last me 1-1.5 weeks. I have sweaty palms and they absorb a good amount of sweat. Compared to Tourna Grip...

    What kind of bag should a jv highschool player get?

    9-pack and up. Not for the racquets but other stuff a high school player needs: tennis balls, clothes, a towel, room for school shoes, etc.

    Sneak peek at 10 new tennis shoes coming from adidas.

    That circular webbing pattern is just ugly imo

    Three cheers to Nike and the 6month Warranty!

    I also had amazing experience with Nike's customer service when it comes to sending in my shoes for a durability guarantee. Much better than Adidas imo.

    Nike Ballistec advantage

    Looks like it comes with a side of toasty toes. I don't see any toe box ventilation.

    Official Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Thread

    Is it me, or was this community criticizing Nike for being a bit too conservative with colors a year or two ago? I'm very happy with these bright colors that Nike's messing with.

    Ugliest tennis shoes ever?

    Easy, Polarized Pink/Black/White Vapor 9's that Federer wore at the 2013 Australian Open.
