    Jewish ATP/WTA Tennis Players CURRENTLY in Top 100

    While I definitely believe that radical Christians and Muslims are often mislead, I must remind you that these radicals often leave out the biggest attribute of a God; love. What belief system is correct can be left open to debate, but one must be correct (because of the necessity of absolute...

    Jewish ATP/WTA Tennis Players CURRENTLY in Top 100

    Pretty sure you din't check every nut and bolt on every chair you sat down in today. That, my friend, is fully believing the chair will hold you up without proving it to be true (i.e. faith). Since no religion (atheism included) can be proven 100% true, does that mean we must fully believe there...

    How long before you find eye contact offensive?

    He's probably just upset that he had his whole paycheck go to filling up that truck at over 4 dollars a gallon...meanwhile a guy on a motorcycle has to spend much less of his money on gas.

    Wise vs electronic

    I still don't understand the notion of spending a large amount of money on a machine when you are inexperienced as a stringer. Once you are stringing under 30 minutes on a Klippermate, then you can begin to take advantage of crank and electronic machines. Until then, it's like kid buying an...

    Is there any pro who started to play after 18 years old?

    I played some events in college as there were a lot of tournaments in California at the time. I continued to play events while I was working at a club teaching and stringing part time for about 3 years after college. The only drawback from playing at such a competitive level is that I can no...

    Is there any pro who started to play after 18 years old?

    I didn't start playing tennis until I was 14, but I did baskplayetball, baseball, and soccer competitively before then. I ended up being a walk on to the Stanford tennis team second semester of my freshman year. I played a few tournaments and got some ATP points (enough to get me to a high of...

    TW Please Review ProKennex Type C Redondo

    I really enjoyed this frame, but had three racquets break on me. Two on them had cracked pallets that broke away and the other one cracked in the upper hoop after about 5 hours of hitting. In my experience, these frames were extremely fragile.

    Foot faults

    Foot faulting is really only an advantage when serving and volleying, so unless my opponent is using it as a direct strategy, it doesn't bother me. Most people that foot fault every serve don't even know they are doing it. I doubt either of these guys are 5.0s anyways, as both would struggle in...

    What shot gives you the most satisfaction?

    Breaking a string in the middle of a point and winning it. That and slice winners.

    Wise vs electronic

    Adding a Wise to a Klippermate is a waste of money, as you won't gain much of a benefit in stringing time from an electronic tensioner due to the flying clamps and you won't gain much accuracy as a drop weight is constant pull. The guys at alpha are all extremely helpful and know their stuff, so...

    How often do you re-string rackets??

    I use Volkl Cyclone 17 in my Six.One 95 16x18 at 60lbs. I re-string when I break strings, usually around 3 hours of drilling or 5 hours of match play. If I haven't broken the string after around 12 or so hours, I'll cut it out and re-string due to tension loss.

    tips and tricks for the overhead smash

    Although a smash that is hit extremely hard as to go over the fence may seem rewarding, a well-angled smash is just as effective (if not more) and is generally easier to hit. Make sure to be patient and keep your head/chin up while you're hitting the ball and remember to exhale (simply breathing...

    RF Cap Washing

    Buy a "Cap Shaper" or similar product from your local sports hat store at a mall or from online stores. You can use this product to wash it in the dishwasher. I've been doing this for several years and never had any issues with fading. I just spray some stain remover on the hat before washing...

    What's up with TW these days?

They may have a lack in quantity of employees, but their current employees are of great quality...

    Is Tom Brady now best QB of all time?

    Rating the best ever is always much harder in a team sport than an individual one. Failures and successes are determined by more than just a single person's performance in a team sport.

    Is Tom Brady now best QB of all time?

    It will just be called Super Bowl 50 (and if Roman numerals were used, it would be "L", not "XXXXX") next year. If Romo wants to get even somewhat close to the conversation of the best all time, he has a lot of work to do. Right now, that is like saying a guy who has 0 slams on his resume is the...

    Spalding ATP Tour Pro Line 200

    Sweet stick that is essentially a PC600 clone, just a little stiffer. Did yours come with the Spalding CAP grommets? If my memory serves me well, mine with CAP grommets came in at 355 grams strung and those with regular grommets came in at 335 grams strung.

    Singles tactics

    To open up his backhand, you have to hit to his forehand. Swing him wide to his forehand and then you can attack his backhand. If your net skills are good, hit your forehand down the line after you swing him to his forehand and follow it up to the net. This will force him to make a hard shot off...
